  • 84,000 miles
Exactly one year ago my van (72,000 miles) started misfiring / idling rough (code: P0301), I changed the coil and spark plug in cylinder 1. this did not correct the problem. A short time after the engine started making a loud ticking noise. I still had miles left on my warranty so took it for service. The dealer replaced both cam shafts, 12 rocker arms and 12 tappet-valve lash on the back side. This repaired the issue until a couple months later - the oil filter housing started leaking. Repaired that, another huge issue. Now as of yesterday, the van is showing (code: P0304) misfiring and idling rough. I now fear the same issue is brewing on the front side (cylinders 2,4,6).

  • 75,000 miles
When the vehicle is running and put into park or has been in park idling, the electrical system (and engine) intermittently (once a month) shuts down and the vehicle needs to be re-started. The climate control fan level resets to full blast, temperature setting resets, and the clock resets to 12:00. So far this hasn't happened with the vehicle in drive.

Faulty oil filter adapter. This part is made out of plastic and cannot take the stress of being removed and put back together it must be unscrewed ever time oil change is done. Part splits the housing causing a major oil leak that could cause a fire or accident oil is being spilled on exhaust if motor runs out of oil it will no longer run and vehicle would stop in middle of road. There are several tsb bulletins out on this issue still Chrysler has not made good on it. In my opinion this part should be recalled its a major flaw that needs to be looked into.part# 68105583af is the part in question.

Material selection of gas tank fitting and hard lines related to emissions and fuel delivery have attracted rodents to chew on the tanks and hardlines. The result is that the vehicle no longer meets emissions requirements without costly repairs. Spoke to 2 local dealers who indicated they see this issue 2-3 times a month each. Damage appears to manifest itself as soon as 8/16/2016 as that was the first instance we had a very small evaporative leak code in the computer and took it in for repair. Manufacture should have taken steps to prevent the parts from being "tasty". anything from changing the composition of the material to adding protective tape is better than throwing up their hands and saying it is the rodents fault.

The transmission cooling lines are leaking. While traveling daily to work on many occasions, my lights in the dash, my radio and all power up front would go off while driving and just recently while parked. Oil filter housing assembly is leaking. Had to replace the full oil filter housing assembly and int manifold set. Twice, as the vehicle has been in motion, the engine has stopped and the ability to steer is gone. The radio has stayed on. Both instances have happened at 25mph or less, thankfully!

Vehicle overheats to the point where I have to pull over, open the hood, open the radiator cap, let it drain and add more water/antifreeze. I have T do this every day once or twice a day. I drive 7 miles to work. The thermostat has been replaced and the car only has 90K miles. Also, cannot put gas on the tank. It does not take more than 1/5th of a gallon and it stops... have to restart the gas adding situation every couple of minutes. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to fill up the tank.
