The oil cooler that is located under the intake manifold has a very bad issue and they crack and almost everyone of the engines like this I called about 9 diff shops and everyone of them told me it was a very common issue the one shop even keeps 5 in stock I already have changed this one but it causes them to leak oil down onto the exhaust and transmission and for some reason or another when ours started to leak badly the transmission acted up and we had to have that rebuilt so on top of the 250 dollar part it also cost almost 5k for a Transmission at same time I feel there needs to be something done about this as it a very bad common issue on all the engines like ours

I was driving on I95 and the car completely shut down. The RPM went to 0. It started up again after about twenty minutes. I had the car repaired (throttle body replaced) and since that incident I have had this same thing happen four more times. The car seems to -??resets-?? itself. I have had the throttle body replaced twice, the ignition control switch twice, the relay harness and then the relay redone. The van only does this periodically. The dealership had my van for six weeks and -??couldn-??t duplicate the problem -??. This usually happens when driving for over an hour and speeds over 65mph. Last week I was driving to work, eleven miles from home and it happened again. The van restarted after sitting about thirty minutes.

My vehicle engine light came on. Error code P0302 detected. Private mechanic referred to dealership for repair. Dealership confirmed original diagonals. Engine issues consistent with NHTSA bulletins D-14-22, 18-069-16 and 09-002-14. As part of the bulletin vehicle warranties were extended for select vehicle years. My vehicle is under both the year and mileage extension however, does not -??qualify-?? per dealership due to vehicle year not being listed on the bulletins.

The engine light came on after replacing the front cylinder head and was illuminated before this repair. The engine has a constant clicking sound, and runs very rough and nearly to a stall constantly. The vehicle is using fuel at an alarming rate. The vehicle cannot be driven for any distance as the rpms are out of control when accelerating. Mechanics who have looked at the vehicle said this is a common problem with the 3.6 engine and will not be remedied easily. I was advised not to drive the vehicle for safety reasons.

The rocker arms have failed twice and caused a constantly flashing check engine light. I was told by the mechanic that this is a common problem with the 3.6 liter engine and if you continue to drive you will have catastrophic engine damage. The engine shudders and shakes and will not respond as it should. It constantly needs spark plugs. There is a constant ticking in the engine, it misfires and when it loses power you have to make a quick maneuver to avoid being hit. This model requires constant repair. My Chrysler trained mechanic said that there is no permanent repair. He called the Town and County 3.6 liter junk. While going out of town the engine slowed from 80mph to 40mph. An 18 wheeler behind me slammed on brakes and blew his horn. I had to drive off of the road to avoid being killed. I could not drive over 40mph. I found the closest hotel for the night and had to have the vehicle towed the next morning.

The lifters and tappets in the 3.6L Chrysler V6 become prematurely worn, interfering with the engine-??s ability to provide power to the vehicle while driving. This results in safety issues where the vehicle will not accelerate adequately at low speeds, which surprises other drivers and places the driver and passengers in our van at increased risk of collision.

Oil filter cooler housing unit is leaking at under 150,000 miles. The leaking oil is pooling and is an extreme fire hazard. After my mechanic informed me that this was common in my vehicle it came to my attention that this has been a known issue which Chrysler has refused to take responsibility for.

While traveling at highway speed 65 MPH when the engine and electrical went off without warning, causing all lights, in and out to go off, power steering to be lost and I'm sure power brakes to be compromised. Was able to put vehicle in neutral and restart the engine while coasting. This did happen at night leaving the vehicle without lights while it is coasting and loosing speed on a busy freeway. This has happened a few times previously but this is the first time on the freeway.

Engine Leaked oil from oil filter housing, Thank goodness my boyfriend put the fire out. very big problem he had to repair wires and replace lots of expensive parts because the small fire melted some of the intake and the valve cover. Im just thankful my boyfriend is a mechanic and could fix it for me. $800 in just parts. just to find out that there is a updated part that would not leak. But Waldorf dodge Sold me the same part he took off. so its destined to happen again. Chrysler should be ashamed of their design. They put my family at risk and my vehicle. I checked for recalls on it and its not there.

Oil leak from defective adapter/housing. Oil continuously leaks even shortly after being repaired due to bad product design on the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. Poses a significant safety hazard and could lead to fire at any point due to all the old oil that has leaked all over the engine bottom. A significant number of posts pertaining to this issue are all across the internet, here is only one example going back to 2014 with over 400 posts; from only one thread!: https://www.chryslerminivan.net/threads/please-post-if-you-have-had-an-oil-leak-on-your-2014-3-6l-pentastar-v6.65617/page-21
