2014 Chrysler Town and Country: While in motion, headrest and back of seat sounded like they "exploded". Headrest had broken and snapped forward thrusting head downward towards steering wheel. Back of seat lunged forward at the same time. Now air bag light is on in vehicle. This caused headache, neck pain, back pain, and pain sensitivity to hearing.

No check engine warning, unpredictable no start, no crank. Physical well being of grandchild, others and self at risk due to high temperatures. This also puts stress on mental well being, how to fix, can I fix, the cost and constant worry of being stranded. Have not confirmed with dealer. Did have a shop review. Battery, alternator good, starter is new. Issue is sporadic and hard to duplicate, but happening daily. Research on internet shows this is common occurrence without a definitive solution. Who has to have a breakdown, not just mechanically speaking to find a solutuon?

I was driving down the road and when rpms were between 1 and 2 and I applied brakes my van stalled out at the lights. My battery is new so I know it's not that. There is a large number of people that are saying there is a safety concern. I am scared to drive it in case it happens again. It was on a busy road in front of a mall. [XXX]. Please look into the number of people reporting this same issue. Also when slowing down the vehicle starts to stall like its going to die. Then I had to put myself into park and restart the vehicle and it ran fine again. I was able to get home. I have a check engine light that is related to some kind of pressure system according to o reillys auto store scanner. The safety of mysef and my child and others behind and around me put me at risk and it looks like it is a serious problem that isn't easily diagnosed. I just spend 2000 on different repairs and I explained this issue. It wasn't fixed. On that thread they are saying it could be a ecg valve gone bad. If that's the case it should be a recall.

bought the car new in 2014. after approximately a year, the passenger rear sliding door began to close randomly after opening, on several occasions pinning the passenger who was entering or leaving the vehicle between the door and the frame. the car was under warranty so i had it "repaired" at the dealer. after several months, the same random closings began to occur but less frequently. Most recently, the same door could not be locked leaving the car open to burglary. The dealer says its the door latch that needs replacing and is charging me $1,600 to "fix" it. Are these doors being investigated by your agency?

When vehicle is exposed to consistent sunlight and heat during the spring/summer months, the driver's side power sliding door will not latch properly, causing the door to repeatedly try to latch itself shut. This occurs when opening/closing the door, and also while the vehicle is in motion. For example, if the door is shut properly, and the vehicle goes over a bump or something disrupts the ride, the door will think it is open, the warning light comes on the dashboard, the interior lights activate and the electric latch motor will repeatedly activate until the van thinks the door is closed. Even when parked, I have returned to the vehicle to find the door trying to close itself

1.) my tire pressure warning light remains on and unable to detect if tires are actually low or not. It remains on even when tire pressure is at correct level. I got it checked by mechanic and he agreed that something is wrong with the sensor/system. 2.) both of my side mirror sensors will not turn off. I was driving and they were off (were previously working as normal), but then I went to get into another lane and someone was in my blind spot and I nearly hit them. Now they stay on and aren-??t able to be utilized or trusted. There was no prior warning to any of these issues and now my vehicle feels extremely unsafe as I cannot use the safety features nor trust the tire pressure indicator.

Before I started the car I tried to open the passenger sliding door but the door would not open with key fob, manually or interior dash button. (Only makes a clicking noise ). Then after driving 5-10 minutes the door opens on its own while driving. Kids and new born in car. Items fell out of car while driving. Interior light came on and my eldest was able to close the door. Very dangerous and distressing!

I drive for Lyft and Uber and have had this vehicle spontaneously shut down while I am driving. I have had three places check it and it is NOT the starter, battery, or alternator. I have replaced the ECU and other items and the mechanics cannot tell me what's wrong. Furthermore, there are NO codes that show on the vehicle. The vehicle on the way to the mechanic shut down in traffic and as per usual, started back up and the traction control light came on. When the mechanic disconnected the positive cable on the battery to check the alternator, battery, and starter the code disappeared and the car drove fine on the way home. I have lost a lot of wages due to this issue and now I am afraid to drive the car. I have seen on several forums that this was an issue in the 2011 recall and now it is happening yet again. My car is a 2014 and others are both older and younger, all suffering from this same very scary detail. I hope I am not injured, nor anyone else will be injured, due to this issue. Mechanics are stumped with the problem. I have contacted an attorney and my next step is to call Chrysler but I do not expect them to address this issue unless or until many people die, are injured and then they get sued. Please let me know what, if anything, else I should do. I am putting you on notice of the issue and it's being widespread. In order to make sure I cover all my bases, this issue has happened now about 4x a week, it is not predictable, nor is it consistent with how fast or how slow I may be driving. I have had plenty of gas in the engine.

The driver side sliding door is not latching fully. The door will be shut and the indicator in blinking, the lights are going inside the car and the door is repeatedly trying to latch. The consumer stated that they brought the car to a certified Chrysler dealer to inquire about repairing the sliding door latch. At this time, the consumer is expected to cover the full cost of the repair.

I bought my 2014 Chrysler Town and Country not even a year ago and this is the second transmission that has went out on my van. I-??m now in the process of fighting with the warranty company to get it replaced if possible. There-??s no reason for this. The first time it went out was a month after I purchased it June 2022. Second time May 2023 (still in shop waiting).

It's seems to be a Chrysler town and country and dodge caravan failure. It imposes a safty issue in case of a fire or accident.
