2012 Chrysler Town And Country Driver assistance Problems

Confirmed cylinder number 2 misfire. Performed relative compression test and intake trace pull. Confirmed that number two has low compression and is directly affecting cylinder number fives intake pull. removed spark plug and did a compression test on cylinder 2 it had 90psi of compression and the rest of the cylinders were at 148psi of compression. used a bore scope and found cylinder damage in video attached vehicle needs a new engine to correct customers concern. When going up a small incline at 30-45mph engine would stall out. I have 3 little kids and I drive a lot for my job and want to be safe on the road! Also my blind spot detectors have constantly been on since about 75,000 miles. It’s kind of a distraction when you are driving at night.

I kept getting a message that the blind spot system was unavailable. Once removed it smelled of burnt plastic and looked to be water damaged. Upon research I have learned that this could cause a fire and or damage other electrical components of the car

I was driving my 2012 town & country van on the expressway and the van started slowing down and were jerking backwards and forward it was trying to shut off. I became very afraid for my children safety as well as mine. Ignition switch was stalling while I was driving. The car behind me was driving so fast ,that I had to pull off the expressway before me and my family would die. This should be a recall so other family member would not die. Bad ignition switch can cost a family their life's. Please look into this I thank God that me and my kids are still alive. I would like to have a recall on this item( ignition switch) before it cause someone life. Please fix my van. Thank you

1) THE THIRD ROW PIER FOLDING SEATS HAVE TWICE BEEN INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED BY A CHILD TOUCHING THE BUTTON, AND NARROWLY ESCAPING BEING CRUSHED BY THE FOLDING SEAT. ALSO, THE SEAT JAMMED IN THE HALF FOLDED POSITION AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $2600+ TO FIX IT. THE POWER FOLDING SEATS ARE A DEATH TRAP IF SOMEONE CANNOT GET OUT OF THE WAY WHEN THE BUTTON HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. 2) TWICE NOW, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLASHING RANDOM CODES- THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE, THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT, AND ALSO WEIRD MINI ROUGH IDLES AT VERY LOW SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT IS A REPEAT PROBLEM THAT THE SHOP SEEMS TO ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX.

I WAS TRAVELING THIS SATURDAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 72 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR WAS IN A SEVERE DOWNPOUR. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REDUCED MY SPEED TO 45 MILES PER HOUR. VISIBILITY WAS LIMITED. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN EXIT TO PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL THE THUNDERSTORM HAD PASSED. SINCE I WAS NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, I PRESSED THE STOP BUTTON. THEN I PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON. THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH DID NOT DISAPPEAR. IN WAS CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING, STAYING IN THE LANE AND AWAY FROM OTHER TRAFFIC. THE DOWNPOUR WAS INTENSE. I PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON A SECOND TIME. TO MY AMAZEMENT AND CONCERN, THE CAR ENTERED OVERDRIVE AND BEGAN INCREASING SPEED RAPIDLY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MAINTAIN MY BEARING AND SLOW REASONABLE SPEED. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. ANY OTHER PERSON WOULD HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. QUITE POSSIBLY, RUNNING OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH OR TREE. I SINCERELY BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURE TO CORRECT THE SEVERE DEFECT. THIS EPISODE CLEARLY HAD MY ATTENTION. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 16, 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY BACK FROM SCHOOL ON THE NJ PARKWAY USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION. AS I APPROACHED THE BACK OF A SLOWER MOVING SEMI-TRUCK I PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL AS I HAD NORMALLY DONE IN THE PAST. THE VAN DID NOT STOP ITS SPEED. I PRESSED THE BRAKES WHICH IS ANOTHER WAY THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL TURNS OFF, THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. I WAS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES COMING UP ON TRAFFIC AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND AS THE BRAKES SLOWED THE CAR THE ACCELERATOR WOULD HASTEN MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE SPEED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT. IT WAS THE SCARIEST MOMENTS IN MY LIFE. I HAD USED MY QUICK REFLEXES TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE PARKWAY, BUT THE VAN'S ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING. I FINALLY GOT THE VAN SLOW ENOUGH TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE REGULAR BRAKE, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL ACCELERATING THE ENGINE. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WHEN THE VAN WAS STATIONARY. A FEW MINUTES LATER I TURNED THE VAN BACK ON TO SEE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL MALFUNCTIONING AND IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I WAITED UNTIL I HEARD A NOISE IN THE ENGINE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A SWITCH TURNING OFF, I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND THE CAR ACTED NORMAL. I HAD A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH PINE BELT CHRYSLER JEEP SERVICE SET FOR NOVEMBER 23, 2016. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF IN THE MORNING TO BE EXAMINED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAD A WAKE FOR MY GRANDMOTHER WHO PASSED AWAY THAT WEEK AND THEY DID NOT GET TO EVEN LOOK AT THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND INERTIA SET IN OVER TIME, PLUS THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO LOOK AT THE CAR MALFUNCTION. I DID NOT BRING IT BACK AGAIN FOR THAT SERVICE SINCE MONEY WAS TIGHT AT THE TIME AND I HAVE NOT TRIED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION IN THE CAR SINCE THAT ALMOST DEADLY TIME.

THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED. SENSORS IN THE REAR BUMPER HAVE FAILED CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO BE INOPERABLE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA FOR THIS VEHICLE FILED UNDER ELECTRICAL, UNKNOWN AND OTHER. THIS SAFETY FEATURE FAILED AT JUST OVER 50K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION IN LIGHT TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. THE SERVICE BLIND SPOT SYSTEM MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH WHERE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE IS NORMALLY DISPLAYED AND YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED IN EACH REAR VIEW MIRROR. PRICED THE PARTS AT APPROX. $900.00 PER SENSOR UNINSTALLED. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A NECESSARY SAFETY FEATURE FOR THIS LARGE FAMILY VEHICLE WITH NUMEROUS BLIND SPOTS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THESE FAILING SENSORS (WITH THE NHTSA AND OTHER CONSUMER SITES) INDICATE THE PART IS INFERIOR AND/OR HAS BEEN INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN AN AREA (EXPOSED UNDERSIDE OF REAR BUMPER FASCIA) WHERE IT IS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER AND OTHER CORROSIVE ELEMENTS.

WARNING LIGHTS ON BOTH MIRRORS FOR BLIND SPOT DETECTION STAY ON ALWAYS - WITH THE DING DING DING SOUNDS RINGING ON AND OFF - WEATHER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING STILL PARKED, IF THE CAR IS RUNNING, THE PROBLEM IS THERE. I BELIEVE THIS UNSAFE ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY A RECALL, AS IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY UNSAFE & DANGEROUS, MANY FOLKS WHOM HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME UNSAFE PROBLEM! I PAID FOR THIS FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE, TO ADD SAFETY AND NOW IT IS CAUSING JUST THE OPPOSITE, UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME, A SAFETY FEATURE FAILING ON ALL THESE CARS AND ESPECIALLY AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WITH THIS FEATURE MALFUNCTIONING, IT IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN TEXTING OR TALKING ON THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING. WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO GET A RECALL IN PLACE, DO PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE ACCIDENTS OR DIE TO GET A PROBLEM RECALLED, HOW IS IT DECIDED.
