Rear trailing arm broke loose from the chassis. 2 bolts sheared off on right side 2 were missing and left side two were missing and the other 2 were loose. The whole right side of the rear end was hanging down. This happened while in town at low speed fortunately as in a few minutes I would have been on the highway at 55 mpr. Grandkids were in the car. It was totally undriveable and I had to have it towed. Having read online there are several others that have had the same issue. I wonder how many major accidents or fatalities have occured on Chrysler or Dodge minivans because of this condition. This van has less than 40k miles.

Rear axle broke, while in motion, just turned onto hwy so was going pretty slow.

While driving in heavy traffic on expressway the rear axle assembly cracked in half causing uncontrolable unstable/swaying motion which in turn caused driving the vehicle over 15 mph impossible. I beleive that if I were driving at normal hwy speeds the vehicle would have flipped over or caused a major accident.

Strut mounts are very rusty, the Chrysler recommended repair could not be done, due to extensive rust around the strut tower. This is confirmed by many other owners of this year and generation of vehicle. The vehicle is is good shape except for this and the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect which allowed rusting in the strut towers. This problem started happening approximately when it was just 10 years old or less and got worse and worse over the years. I have not driven it for many years because it seems very unsafe.

Front struts are noisy and mechanic says the rubber top plates are destroyed. They are only 4 years old and car only has 20,200 miles on it. I feel this is a part problem from the vendor since new, as newly purchased struts from monroe have a lifetime replacement warranty. With the mileage on the t&c being so low, and Chrysler's warranty not exceeding 3yrs/36,000miles this should not happen. The car sits in the shade because of tree cover, so heat should not be the issue. It is used as a local sedan would normally be used with very limited usage. The warranty service was pulled by Chrysler but they never detected this issue. I am a vietnam vet with hearing issues, however the front end noise has increased until I took it today to a mechanic. 1-2-18. Two struts have been quoted at $800.

Back up camera goes out. Have humming noise in front and rear. Replaced tires still have humming noise.

Rear axle brace that fastens rear wheel to body broke ,leaving wheel only fastened by spring and shock , flopping erratically. This has happened twice to us once at 20 mph and once at 40 mph . We both times brought the vehicle to a slow easy stop . . We shudder to think what would have happened, at any higher speeds. The Chrysler dealership we showed photos of the broken bar to after the first break expressed surprise ,"we have never seen this before " was their comment. The break was at the cut-out hole in the brace ,the hole is fairly large , big enough to stick all 5 fingers into. (we notice that after 2009 models, this fairly large cut-out hole was reduced to a quarter inch slit , on the models we checked. Chrysler wanted to replace the entire rear axle ,but we ended up taking it to a master welder who as a favor welded and sanded it to where you could not tell there was ever a break. . 6 months later in October 2015, it happened again breaking about 2 inches from the first episode break,on the same piece of metal . We were at about 40 mph ,the back wheel flopping ,almost throwing us off the road. This time we requested our welder friend to add plates to the brace ,photo of finished job enclosed , you can still see the original cut-out. . We figured we just ended up with a bad piece of metal on our van. But then in April 2016,my nephew ,who has a 2008 Chrysler built van (sold by vw) experienced exactly the same axle brace failure,while moving, at exactly the same spot in the brace,at the same type of cutout hole. He lives about 5 miles from us, I personally examined his van axle brace ,and we discovered the other side brace was almost broken through too . . He has a wife and 3 small children,this was very traumatic thing for the family. We concluded this must be a very common problem, and wonder if people are not dying across the country from this obvious axle brace defect.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle began to pull towards the right independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the four tire rims were replaced and an alignment was performed. The failure persisted after the repair.

I was driving with my children through a parking lot when our van started making a horrible sound. . . . When I pulled off to the side and got out I saw that the right rear tire wasn't where it should be and there was a medal part hanging down. We had the van towed to my mechanic, dave grandominico, contact #614-882-9965, who looked at our van the next day and said that there were only 2 bolts in the trailing arm and those two bolts snapped. He said that there should have been 4 but it he could see that there was never 4 (no markings or scratches where there was no bolts indicating they had never been added). Dave recommended that we take the van to a Chrysler dealership so they could document the manufacturing problem. Dave then installed 2 bolts in to the slots where there was none (so that we could drive it to chyrsler); he left the 2 snapped bolts in place. However, when we took the van to Chrysler, they told us (in so many words) that we couldn't prove that there was only 2 bolts (since dave had installed 2 new bolts), and therefore we would have to pay $400 - $500 for a repair and they were taking no responsibility for the matter outside of repairing it.

Car steers by itself and have a high humming sound when it take offs.
