Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2015 Chrysler Town and Country owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the massage "Blind Spot Service Unavailable" was displayed and the blind spot arrow was present in the driver's side mirror causing a visibility hazard for the driver. The contact indicated that while driving in the dark the arrow created a glare in the side mirror making it difficult to view images in the mirror. Additionally, a constant audible chime was present while operating the vehicle. In addition, the back-up camera was also inoperable. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Last month when driving my van started to stall when driving came to a stop at a light and the engine jerked, light turned green started to drive and it wouldn't go over 30 then all of a sudden it speeded up and the started making a weird sound pulled, off into a parking lot wasn't able to get it all the way in a parking spot. Called to have it towed. The transmission blew and it only has 65,000 miles. That cost me alot to get a transmission. Now the seatbelt on drivers side will not lock into place. Which I don't know what to do with that because you have to wear a seatbelt. When I bought this van brand new I had a lot of electrical issues kept taking it to the dealer they could never find anything. …
The sliding electrical/mechanical passenger door does not close entirely and continually retries to re-close. I observe over the years that there must be a sensor or other mechanical/electrical detection of door "closure" that is not working correctly off and on for a least 4 years. The action we've taken to is to manually force the door closed as the electrical-mechanical closure detection cannot always sense door closure correctly. Occasionally the condition can occur while driving causing fear the door will open or not be locked exposing passengers to potential serious injury hazard while in motion. The condition has not improved despite efforts to clean, clear, oil parts to try and remediate the item. Dealer is not making any recommendations for remediation on this defect to this point. These cases first noticed in 2018, and has continued off and to the present. …
Passenger rear sliding door on my 2015 Chrysler Town and Country will not unlock with the remote. This happens all the time and has become a great concern as it causes not only frustration for me but has caused stress for my grand children thinking they are stuck in the vehicle! This also causes my wife to have to open the passenger front door and reach between the seat and the "B" post to reach the lock and unlock the door. Then at this time the door must be opened manually or push the remote button again to try and open it. This happens in hot or cold weather. This could cause the door to fail to unlock in an panic causing injury or loss of life during an emergency. As a first responder this would cause us to have to figure out ways to cut the door open or use the jaws of life to open the door after a crash where the driver is unable to inform us of the issue in unlocking the door. …
The battery and check engine lights are constantly on despite a new battery, new battery cable, and new alternator. The cruise control will randomly stop working. Abs and vehicle stability lights will go on and off. And at times headlights, dash, and radio screen will flicker and lose power making it impossible to see or know what the car is doing. Mechanic has looked at and repaired the car 3 different times and there is nothing identifiably wrong. The car is now unsafe to drive not knowing when the dash will go out, speed will reduce, or lights turn off. It is a hazard to the driver and others on the road.
Transmission completely failed and had to be risky rebuilt. I was just driving down the highway and the transmission went into limp mode and I came to a fast slow down as it dropped the gearing. Also have noticed a huge issue with electronics putting me into a limp mode with wipers on headlights wont shut off, lose dash lights and speedometer with no blinkers or hazard lights. This left me in a very unsafe place as I had no way to tell other drivers where I was going or see how fast im going. Could have caused a huge accident . Please look into this as there are many issues of this happening.
Several times over the past few weeks the van has just shut off while driving. This has happened at low speeds and at city driving speeds. The engine just completely shuts off and the van loses power brakes/steering/acceleration with no warning, no rough running, no sounds, and no check engine light. The mechanic cannot find anything wrong with it but the problem continues at random intervals. This is potentially very dangerous and even worse is that there is no evident problem.
While driving at 70 mph on the highway on 8/13/23, the car electrical system failed. Power steering immediately failed. Brakes unresponsive. Lost control and almost veering into a semi beside us. Coasted and lane changed with no means to signal to others. Once we coasted to a near stop car was put into park without ability to press on break. After 3 min, attempted to start car again and it was responsive again.
Car has intermittent start issues related to the fuel pump relay in fuse box. Many reports & fixes on YouTube including engineers manufacturing parts & fixes. My van is sketchy & I use it for business travel 3 or four hours away where I get stuck. I'm not happy Chrysler has ignored this major issue.
When I unlock my van or open my door and it unlocks a loud buzzing noise comes from my passenger back sliding door, it happens every time, not occasionally. I have already been on a message board online where hundreds of van owners are reporting the exact same thing. WHERES THE RECALL
