We have received a safety recall notice for our vehicle regarding the rear quarter window switch. Multiple calls to the local chrysler dealerships have all gotten the same response...the part is on back order and they have no idea when it will be in. And they will not take down our name and call us when it comes in. They suggested just calling back every few months. This is quite frustrating. In the recall notice it said to contact if the dealer could not replace part in a reasonable amount of time. I feel that this time frame is no longer reasonable.

I received a safety recall in june 2014 advising of rear quarter vent window switch on my vehicle may overheat. On july 3, 2014 I took my car in for service at croton auto park service dept, croton, ny and showed them my recall notice. I was told that they wire had been disconnected and that when the part came in I would be contacted. It has been a year and 1 month and am still waiting to be called by the service department to make repairs to the defected electrical wires. Upon my last visit around june 2015 to the service department I was advised that they still had not received the parts, my name was on a list and that chrysler was backed up making the corrected part. This car has been nothing but a headache since I drove it off the lot with several manufacturer defects. The first less than 750 miles on the car. And the service dept at croton auto park is atrocious, with repairs taking excessive time to make repairs.
We purchased this vehicle 6 months ago. We had no issues until recently the vehicle would not start. We made several attempts to start the vehicle and finally it would turn on. The following morning we tried to turn it on and it wouldn't. This time the vehicle would not turn on. I took it to a mechanic who tested the fuel pump and discovered there may be an issue with the tipm box. After looking this information up I found that others are having the similar issue and so I decided to report this issue.

Car cranks but will not start. My tipm is faulty in my 2011- chrysler town & country @53896 miles causing our vehicle not to run. We were lucky that this issue did not occur while driving on the highway with my children. Chrysler charged $395 in labor and $22 for the part plus tax. As you are probably already aware, this fix was not permanent; yet the dealership says "all 'work is completed". No you did not fix tipm; just "installed external fuel pump relay". We would like our vehicle restored to its original condition.

Car will turn over but not start. Had it towed to a dealer while away from home on a family road trip. After several hours of waiting the dealer said the problem was a fault with the tipm and that it would need to be replaced at a cost of over $1100 dollars. I have no other alternative, but what an expensive repair.

We can not get chrysler to order parts and repair the recall for the rear quarter vent window switch. This is recall p25/the federal safety agency 14v‑234. They never have the parts and are not willing to order the needed parts for the recall. They suggest calling them weekly to see if any part came in that week.
This is a recall that I received a notice about 8 months ago. The vent window switch I go to the dealer & they say they have not received the parts .a year is a little long to wait for parts.

This is in regards to a safety recall. For the rear quarter vent window switch. After talking to johnson and sons 1910 west grand ave., wisconsin rapids, wi 54495. (888)544-6369 twice for an appointment I was told there is a two year wait!!!! Since then the switch stopped working. The vents had to be manually closed. And now do not work at all. This not an acceptable or reasonable time to wait for the part. I could fix it myself if I had the part. Please check into this matter. Thank you.
Battery failure last month followed by a tipm failure this month. Battery cost me $220 to replace. I found out it could have been caused by the tipm failure. 8/12/15 could not start car. I took it back to the dealer and they told me the tipm was not sending a signal to the fuel pump and had to be replaced. It was not covered and it cost me $1050.05 to replace. This seems to be a major issue with chrysler vehicles.

When either using the keyless entry control or using the interior door lock controls the rh front passenger door will not lock/unlock using the electronic controls. Had been functional up to this point in time. Have to manually push down the lock button and to unlock , have to reach over and pull the door handle in order to unlock the door. Apparently a very common complaint for this model.
