This is already a known issue and a recall was issued in june 2014. Nine months have elapsed and repair parts are still on back order. This is ridiculous and the manufacturer should not be allowed to hide behind a claimed parts shortage. Suppliers can certainly produce parts in less than nine months.

Driver side door open on it's own. Wife closed it,after that it would not open or close at all.called dealer ship and they had to replace the locking system on that door because it had begun to make a noise when it finally start opening. And about a month later the passenger door did the same and I'm having problems getting it fixed. I feel this is a safty issue.if I were in a wreck and this was the only way out or my children need to get out and this door jam or want open we would be in a lot of trouble.

My 2 year old son exited the van on the passenger side, through power sliding door. The door closed on his hand and did not retract automatically. We reached out to chrysler who sent an inspector. The inspector tested the door with a folded terry cloth. I provided him with a doll, which has a hand the same size and shape of a child's. The passenger door closed completely on the doll hand. The drivers side door opened automatically. So there existed a difference between the two doors. Chrysler stated they believe there is nothing wrong with the van. We took the van to the dealership, they also stated the door closes normally. We reached out to the local news station wftv who agreed to assist because the passenger side door still closed on the doll hand, while the driver side door did not. The van was taken to zembower's auto center where immediate testing revealed the car needed a new battery. The comment was made, how is chrysler able to diagnose a potential electrical issue without first checking the electrical system to be sure its operating normally. I took the van to the dealership who then agreed, the van does need a new battery. We took the van back to zembowers for a battery replacement. Upon replacement the passenger door now seems to be operating normally. So the issue still remains, why is it that when the battery is in need of replacement in the van, that the passenger power door is less sensitive than the drivers side, allowing it to close on hands of children? And it should be noted that no service engine lights were illuminated, so no indication was given as to the van needing a new battery. So, based on this experience, are we to assume that anytime the van battery is depleted, even before giving any indication through the service engine lights, that the passenger side power door will become insensitive? This issue remains unresolved.

We have a 2012 town and country just over 36000 miles and the blind spot detection system is failing. Now when I drive the car the lights on the mirrors light up all the time and there is a beeping sound that will not quit. It's a danger at night because the lights stay on or blink on and off all the time. There is not a separate fuse for this feature so you can't pull the fuse or you will lose things you need.

Rear quarter vent window switch may overheat if exposed to liquid moisture. Recall p25/the federal safety agency 14v‑234. My switch was disconnected in july 2014 and I have repeatedly called barrett in berlin,md to see if part has come in and been told "no". It is now february and I feel this is unreasonable. Are new cars being delivered with a corrected part for this problem? I use this vehicle to travel with a pet and need this vent window.
I own a 2012 chrysler town and country. I received a recall notice for a switch in the front door that might possibly be faulty . At the time I brought my vehicle in for service and the dealer said the parts weren't available and unplugged the switch. I just received another recall notice and still no parts are available and I am unable to use a feature which is very important to me and I am very disappointed with chrysler.

My gas gauge indicated I had more than 1/4 tank full. Instead, it was empty, and I ran out of gas in the middle of the freeway, in the middle of detroit's worst snow storm in 40 years, with a toddler in the back seat. I subsequently filled my car after waiting in freezing cold until an officer pulled over and helped me, and my gas gauge went to completely empty even though I then filled my tank. It stayed at empty for a day until suddenly moving to 3/4 full, and hasn't budged since. I have no idea now how much gas my tank actually has. Despite the snow storm on sunday when the incident occurred, the temps were not anything extraordinarily cold for a midwest winter, and regardless of temp, the gas gauge should always work. Had I not had my cell phone, or had I been in a more remote area, or had it been dark at night and I was in a dangerous area, the toddler and I could have been in real physical danger. The potential disaster that could have ensued makes me shudder. This is entirely unacceptable. Please look into this for other town and country minivans.
Blind spot monitoring stays on constantly and chiming constantly. Unable to turn off and are very distracting to driver. Costly repair to turn off and/or repair (>$2,000 to repair).
