Town & Country

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Intermittently while pulling out gear shift will move by itself into neutral or in reverse. Consumer has taken vehicle to dealer 3 times, and performed diagnostic test, but no codes were found. Vehicle checks out normal, could not duplicate defect. Consumer states while vehicle is on and after shifting from park to drive, the vehicle will move into neutral or reverse on its own, this usually happens after driving approximately 1000-2000 miles, on one occasion while pulling out of a parking space, consumer put vehicle in drive and vehicle began to move backwards instead of forwards, dealer will be installing a co-Pilot to help determine the cause of the problem.

problem #5

Town & Country 4WD

  • miles
The AWD drive component of our vehicle is causing problems, and I am concerned that there may be a safety aspect. There is squealing noise at low speed, a roar at high speed and poor gas milage for this type of vehicle. It feels as if something is bound up in the transmission and I am concerned that something could break loose and enter the passenger compartment. The dealership agrees that there is a problem with the vehicle, but Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the problem and asserts that it is a characteristic of the vehicle.
