Vehicle is only 3 years old and started making a constant clicking noise that would speed up with the speed of the car in addition to that the RPM shoots up butvehicle struggles to speed up, took it in to get looked at, the engine and transmission are going out and is going to cost more to fix than the car is worth. Also the air bag in the passenger head rest exploded earlier in the year while the vehicle was moving and was not in an accident, and the back passenger door will mechanically open but not shut. This vehicle has had an excessive amount of problems for only being 3 years old.

During an oil change, when the filter cap was removed, there was a plastic component stuck in the end of the filter that the service technician didn't recognize. One of the four tabs inside the cap was broken off and not able to be located. It could still be inside inside the oil filter housing, but an inspection with a flashlight did not locate it. Purchased a new cap from dealer. The cap has an integrated spring loaded nipple that the filter slips onto.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town and country. While operating the vehicle, the instrument panel and gauges suddenly turned off and on before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (lasontaine Chrysler in saline, mi) where it was diagnosed that the battery was faulty. The battery was not replaced. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery was operating normally, but the iod main fuse was faulty. The fuse was not replaced. Later, while driving approximately 25 mph, the engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle shook and vibrated. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 94,000.

The cowling or engine cover broke at approx 28K miles for no known reason. It was replaced by branhaven Jeep/Dodge of branford, Connecticut after several visits and test drives. The last test drive was for 45 minutes at highway speeds, with my wife and the mechanic, because they could not find the issue. It's a pain in the butt returning this vehicle to dealership 3X for the same issue--. now it has been replaced, but the issue has returned after about 6 weeks or so....maybe two months. Dealership is saying the same thing--can't find the issue because it mainly happens at about 69 mph and they said it's illegal to drive that fast in the state of Connecticut. A star case with Dodge will be started on this, I'm calling this weekend. The whistle comes from the dashboard inside the car, drivers' side, just left of center. This nuisance is a safety issue to the driver and a cultural note signifying a complete decline in Chrysler production. If the engine cowls are cracking----this could signify early wear and tear in the engine causing the cowl to crack and sever the belts. Question: Would you want your wife and children in a vehicle with a whistle coming from the interior of the car, that you have video of from a smart phone, but that the dealership refuses to "find"?

On November 25 at 4:30pm, I was driving on route 80 going westbound approaching exits 27 a and B in northern New Jersey. I was planning to use exit 26 and gently accelerated my Town and country van in order to pass a vehicle to my right and transition to the right lane in order to exit. After passing the vehicle, I removed my foot from the gas pedal and my car unexpectedly continued to accelerate. I immediately applied the brake somewhat forcefully in order to stop the acceleration. Upon removing my foot from the brake, the car again accelerated under its own power. I quickly scanned the dashboard to see if I was accidentally triggering a function such as cruise control. I noticed a red lightning bolt symbol illuminated, which indicates a malfunction with the electronic throttle control. I was able to apply the brake forcefully enough to use the exit ramp. As I approached the end of the exit ramp the car seemed to cease its attempt to accelerate and I was able to pull into a nearby gas station, park the vehicle, and turn it off. After restarting the vehicle the warning symbol was no longer present and the car seemed to be operating normally. I immediately took the vehicle to the johnson Dodge dealership where it was purchased. They accepted the vehicle for diagnostic testing but were not able to find any computer or electrical malfunction. They instructed me to pick up the vehicle the next morning and the service staff member [xxx] could not provide any information about the malfunction and theorized that my rubber floor mats must have been stuck on the gas pedal during the incident. No other explanation or official paperwork was provided by the dealership. This incident was also reported to an official Chrysler customer service representative ([xxx]; employee #[xxx]). as of this time, a replacement vehicle has been requested. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
