ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Over 2 yrs now the electrical has been haywire. In driveway the interior lights on dash lights come on and and doors lock and unlock. Driving down road on dash tells you that must put car in park to engage. Lift gate ajar. Heater turns on and off full blast front and back fans. Side doors do not work/ or work when they want to work. Battery brand new gets drained and needs to be charged 1 every month. Had alternator changed. Still does the same thing. I call this my possessed van. At my wits end. Spent much money trying to find out problem unable to locate. Changed fuses did not help. This is my second town and country. I never had a problem with my first one which was a much older model that is why I got another one. Now I am rethinking about getting another town and country. Who is going to help with all of these customer complaints with electrical issues. I am a disabled person who needs my vehicle for appointments. I cannot get stranded or break down or have a vehicle fire. I am frustrated by this company for not caring for their customers needs.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

The Active Head Rest on the driver seat in my 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. I purchased this vehicle brand new from the dealer in 2015 from the Chrylser Dealer in Springfield, IL. No one was driving the vehicle at the time, we only notice the headrest had activated after entering the vehicle after it was parked in our garage. I have contacted my local dealer (Burlington, IA) to determine the repair/replacement required. No other warning lights are shown on the dashboard.

The driver's side headrest deployed while driving. My husband was driving on [XXX] at about 70-75 mph, when his headrest suddenly and unexpectedly burst open. This is a serious safety hazard. He said it felt like he got punched in the back of the head and was startled. Thankfully he didn't lose control of the vehicle and avoided an accident. It appears some plastic inside the headrest broke, causing it to deploy when it shouldn't have. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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?

Driver side headrest deployed (AHR system) while driving at a speed of 55 mph with no accident. Driver bit tongue while driving. I have found many complaints of this issue online. Vehicle hasn't been inspected at this time since it happened a little over a week ago while on vacation. There were no warning signs that it was going to happen. Just purchased this 2016 Chrysler Town and County a little over a month ago and now have this repair to consider of a faulty "safety" system.
