2011 Chrysler Town and Country: misfire or rough idle

Filed Apr 10, 2025 · Engine · AR

The vehicle had a recall that was not satisfied before expiration. The vehicle currently has only 92,135 miles. The car would stall out while driving down the road. The head was manufactured to thin, cylinder misfire. It was very unsafe going up and down the mountains in our area especially. It would not shift after going down an incline. So have to pull over and restart. I called and made a complaint before. We finally saved up enough to pay for the work. I have a receipt for $3219.76. The chrysler recall bulletin is 09-002-14. I contacted Chrysler they just put me to all different people and no one knows. This was a very dangerous situation to drive.

My van without warning started running rought in drive, shaking, engine light came on blinking fast took it to mechanic. It shows all cyclinders have severe misfiring issues. They can not figure out why and told me to take to chrysler dealership. This van runs crappy has no power to get to dealership. I was on a city street trying to drive 20 miles an hour it would not hardly move. I turned around and took it home it was fine up until this happened. This could have been something very dangerous if I was on a highway in heavy traffic.

We have had many mechanical concerns with our new t&c 2011. We have taken our vehicle in many times to cerritos dodge chrysler dealership. After a failed attempt to fix something within the transmission, they completely replaced the transmission. There were still concerns and a week later the vehicle had belts and the water pump replaced. To date, many of our initial concerns still exist and are not being fixed. Concerns include: 1. Noises from under the hood. 2. Shudder/ shake while the vehicle is in reverse. 3. Keyless start malfunctions, it continues to read "defected key", after the keys have been reset, 4. While using keyless, the vehicle shuts off when putting the car into reverse/drive. 5. Rough idle, the vehicle seems to struggle to stay running. 6. When changing gears, the shift makes a clunking/grinding noise. The only consistent thing about this vehicle is its inconsistency. The dealership states that the noises are "normal". The regional area service manager has been contacted, and has sided with the dealership. Corporate has also been contacted, and they are investigating the current situation.
