Cylinder 3 missfire Loss of hydraulic pump prime. Line pressure low. LC pressure switch rationality. Yes it's available for inspection. Unknown if reproduced by dealer or other Unknown if inspected by manufacturer or other. The check engine light came on a little after 90k miles, at which time it was out of warranty, the mechanic said it had a weak cylinder and the motor needed to be replaced or rebuilt, but it was still drivable. The van would start shaking and loses power under moderate acceleration (like getting on interstate) and begin dinging but eventually gain power back. Around 119k miles, the van made a loud Squealing sound and started loosing speed very quickly in the middle of traffic. I put the car in park and back in drive to see if I could get it out of the road. It then started to roll backwards I barely pushed the gas and it revved up to 6000 RPM and then jerked and quickly accelerated forward. If a car would have been close enough I would have hit them while rolling backwards and when it accelerated forward. Upon inspection, the faults listed above came up. The van is no longer drivable but still starts.

Well the passenger sliding door hasn't locked since I can't remember, but that isn't my main complaint, M Y transmission went out along with possible fuel pump issues etc. This happened while enroute to meet my dad and brothers for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, I had my 3 children with me aswell..... it was a little scary and I was able to pull off thebusy highway and into a church parking lot. Where the van sat until Monday and wa taken to my dads via towe. The incident happened on April 9th 2022. I hd it checked out prior by a place called demarc auto in caldwell Idaho, ( where it sat for a week) due to an engine light being on for a while, my dad checked previously with a fuse reader devise and it showed a thermostat issue which is why the engine lightwas on. But I hadmy dad take it in to have it checked out, there they noticed that the thermostat did need replaced and stated that it did seem like there might be an issue with the transmission but said it drove ok after they fixed the thermostat and said they don't do tranmissions, my dad drove it fine home and then the next day I drove it to lunch and that is when it got scary and we had to pull over to the church.

The number 2 cylinder lost compress and is not functioning/firing with the other 5 cylinders. The engine issue makes the car shake and shudder while driving (similar to having a flat tire). The car is at the dealer now for diagnosis and potential repairs. Pentastar V6 motor that had similar problems in the past.

- Bastrop, TX, USA

The oil filter adapter housing is plastic and was leaking oil. The leak was so much that there was burning oil smell in the cabin while driving. The oil leak could potentially reach the exhaust manifold causing a vehicle fire. I was able to replace the faulty oil filter housing unit with a non-plastic unit. This is a well known issue with the Chrysler products that have the pentastar engines.

Driving home from work with vehicle behaving normally. I slowed down for traffic light and felt a hesitation when trying to accelerate. I was then unable to gain speed and was impeding traffic. The vehicle was inspected by a certified auto repair where they were unable to drive and had to push into garage. Diagnostic code for loss of hydraulic pump pressure, internal transmission failure. The transmission was replaced At that time.

- Edgewater, MD, USA

While driving in traffic my transmission failed due to a pump failure in the transmission (diagnosed by a mechanic after the incident and having to be towed to a shop). The car stalled in the middle of an active intersection. My make and model and manufacture year was involved in a recall for this exact problem but for unknown reasons my VIN is not included. The car has been meticulously maintained and has less than 50,000 miles. The check engine light appeared immediately prior to the car losing power.

Engine oil filter adapter - mopar (68105583af) leaks. I have been told by every mechanic in my area that this is a constant issue with this type of vehicle and currently no parts available for repair.

- Sheboygan, WI, USA

A tapping sound from my engine. Appears many owners of this vehicle type and engine for the 2016 are having the same problem. When will a recall be demanded?

- Dayton, OH, USA

Misfire and rough idle at all temperatures and speeds. Diagnosed with a faulty head with low compression on cylinder 2 at independent shop. More than 20% difference in psi compression test with a leakdown loss of nearly 80%, pulled valve cover shows a rolled cam. Dealership has vehicle for repair under extended warranty but will not perform leakdown test or pull the valve cover to submit for repair. They have stated that it is rough to run and likely unsafe to drive, and yet insist there is nothing they can do, as this is just "how Chrysler are". prior to diagnosis, full tune up performed and spark/fuel was checked.

- Hampstead, MD, USA

Engine ticking/knocking started at about 70,000 miles, August 2020. It appears to be the rocker arms. We have been experiencing loss of power periodically. It ticks when idling and speeds up as engine is revved or accelerating. Becomes louder after being driven at highway speeds and for longer drives over 20 mins.

- Pocatello, ID, USA

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler Town and country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and failed to accelerate properly while pressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the transmission pump failed and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer cookeville Chrysler located at 1550 interstate dr, cookeville, tn 38501 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.

- Moss, TN, USA

The vehicle has cylinder #2 misfire code. Two separate independent local mechanics both suggest this is due to pitting of the cylinder head material. They tell me it is a common problem with this engine, 3.6L. I called Chrysler and they are not willing to stand behind their product.

- De Pere, WI, USA

Check engine light came on at ~95,000 for P0302 - misfire in cylinder 2 at idle. The local chryslery dealership service department diagnosed it as low compression due to a valve issue. The fix is left head replacement at just under $2700. This is clearly a known issue with this engine looking at other complaints for the 3.6L pentastar engines in the Town and country, Grand Caravan and Dodge journey. No recall or service bulleting appears to be associated with this manufacturing defect.

I love the Town and country van, and this is my 3th car - my 2016, I have this car since new, right now it has 80,000 miles and 2 weeks ago it started with a light ticking noise in the engine (when engine is on in park or driving), and now it is getting worse over the week - I took my car to dealer and the cost will be around $1000 usd - dealer mentioned that this is a known issue from the manufacturer and too many cars affected, and it becuse on engine pentastar with 3.6lts the camshaft has a loose roller balancing (original part#: 0518.4296 AH008) which is doing the noise - the part price is a couple dollar, but the labor it is expensive) - I need your support to fix this issue on my car

- Sterling Heights, MI, USA

At 61,609 miles "the torque converter came apart" ruining the transmission. The vehicle would not engage in gear; when driving it would not stay in gear. This occurred without warning while I was on the road and almost caused an accident since the vehicle slowed down suddenly and without warning. In addition to needing a new transmission, I was told the "combo cooler" also needed replaced.
