The cylinder 4 misfires. A leak down test was done by a mechanic and it failed. The entire cylinder head will have to be replaced. There are loads of people with this issue, and I know there was a recall at one point for certain years but the year 2014 was not included, neither was cylinder 4. There were warning signs such as shaking in the car when coming to a stop.

The rocker arms have failed twice and caused a constantly flashing check engine light. I was told by the mechanic that this is a common problem with the 3.6 liter engine and if you continue to drive you will have catastrophic engine damage. The engine shudders and shakes and will not respond as it should. It constantly needs spark plugs. There is a constant ticking in the engine, it misfires and when it loses power you have to make a quick maneuver to avoid being hit. This model requires constant repair. My Chrysler trained mechanic said that there is no permanent repair. He called the Town and County 3.6 liter junk. While going out of town the engine slowed from 80mph to 40mph. An 18 wheeler behind me slammed on brakes and blew his horn. I had to drive off of the road to avoid being killed. I could not drive over 40mph. I found the closest hotel for the night and had to have the vehicle towed the next morning.

This 2014 Town & Country stalls while driving, even when driving on the highway. It is extremely dangerous to me, and especially to my wife and children ! The check engine light comes on when it is about to stall. My ASE Certified mechanic read a P0302 trouble code. This means that #2 cylinder has a misfire. The mechanic replaced all spark plugs and coils, but the same missfire remains. The actual problem is a defective cylinder head on the left bank. This was determined by a cylinder leak-down test, which shows that #2 exhaust valve is leaking compression. This defective left (#2,4,6 cylinders) cylinder head is well known by all FCA Dealers. My dealer says that ALL of his mechanics have a great deal of experience doing this defective cylinder head replacement. Tens of thousands of left cylider heads have been replaced under an EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM, issued and approved by FCA, which extends engine warranties on their 3.6 LITER ENGINES to 10 YEARS or 150,000 miles. When I try to get my vehicle's defective cylinder head replaced under the EXTENDED WARRANTY FCA PROGRAM, FCA says that they will only replace the defective cylinder head on 2011, 2012, and 2013 vehicles ! They will not cover my vehicle ! Please help, before this engine defect causes a major accident for my family.

My van started making a clicking noise while on and was pulling a code for misfires in the engine. It turned out to be a common known condition causing metal in the oil system. I still owe $8500.00 on this van. I am a single mother of three and now will be upside down on a car that I love. I spoke to different mechanics who agreed it happens in this models engine. I believed chrysler to be top quality product and never imagined that I would be on the other end of a call telling me that my top quality car is not what I thought it was. I am extremely disappointed and have feel it needs reported so other families do not have to go through the same financial burden that I am.

I own a 2014 town and country. The check engine light has come on at around 59800 miles. Brought to mechanic and he informed me cylinder 6 was misfiring. Upon further investigation he said the cylinder head was cracked. I called chrysler because mechanic said they have extended warranty for this specific part. I was told my year is not covered. Only up to 2013. Upon researching the problem is still going on. With my year and others. This is a big problem and it needs to be addressed. Chrysler should stand by their product and fix these issues.

Iwhen I bought my 2014 town and country mini van it had 39111 miles on it I bought and extended warranty which will not cover my engine problem since it was covered at the time by the manufacturer, well as you can imagine 4 months past the manufacturer warranty ran out it is in the shop, which it needs the camshaft and rocker arms replaced and it is misfiring on cylinder #6 I have 94,000 miles on the van so the 100,000 mile part they will not cover for they say 60 months or 100,000 miles which is not right, I have seen several complaints about the camshafts and rocker arms going bad and breaking down as well as misfiring cylinders. When will there be a recall on these problems. These vehicles should last 100's of thousands of miles if taken care as I have taken care of mine. I am extremely disappointed in chrysler and I honestly don't the job is being done to investigate these problems. My van is currently in a shop waiting to see if the manufacturer will honor the warranty since it is only four months past the 60 months from when the van was first put into service by someone else before me I bought it used from cooks auto and I thought the extended warranty would cover any engine problems but I was wrong they claim that since it had a manufacturer warranty they had to give me a different warranty plan and did not explain, I was told I was covered bumber to bumber until I hit 99,111 please investigate and do a recall on these engines. Thank you.
