2015 Chrysler Town and Country lost propulsion power while driving, endangering 2 occupants and surrounding drivers. While driving on a residential road, vehicle came to a stop at intersection. Upon attempting to accelerate from stop and applying gas, vehicle jolted and would not accelerate past 5 miles an hour with transmission engaging and disengaging while shifter was in drive. Vehicle's transmission would intermittently engage and disengage for 1/2 mile with no warning lights or error messages. Vehicle idled as normal, but vehicle would not engage transmission properly when shifter set to "Drive" position. Vehicle was then parked in driveway off of the road.

In approximately 10 separate instances starting around December 12th when I was driving my 2015 Town and Chrysler Mini van, it would lose power and shut off randomly. I would attempt to steer the car to the side or middle of the road (I lost the ability to turn the wheel), shut the car off and turn it back on and the car would start up again no problem. I took the car to the dealership three times for this issue and they were not able to find an issue any of the times I brought it in. It happened once when my daughter was in the car. I was concerned from my safety because I could have been rear ended. I avoid highway driving because of this issue.

There is a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. A mechanic said it’s a rocket arm failure. He said there are problems with them and were recalled in 2014. After researching the problem, it appears that the problem extends past the 2014 model year. You tube has hundreds of repair videos for this engine. The mechanic said that the problem will only get worse and can cause the engine to stall and miss and it will eventually freeze up causing a possible accident. Please investigate this. I have maintained this vehicle well with oil changes every 3000 miles. Thank you.

The seals in the oil cooler adapter failed. Began leaking oil from the top of the motor down onto the exhaust. This could easily cause a fire when the oil drips onto a hot exhaust. Confirmed by several mechanics and replicated in nearly ALL vehicles with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. There was no warning lamps. The smell of burning oil was the first symptom. Followed shortly by seeing oil puddling under the vehicle.

The engine developed a ticking noise. From what I have found, there are defective rocker arms in the engine. Eventually, they will fail and cause complete engine failure which can occur at any time, even when driving at high speeds. This seems to be a serious safety concern. There is a class action lawsuit working its way through the courts, but, there should be a safety recall. thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Oil housing has been replaced 4 times. Since 64k miles, now at 112k. There needs to be a recall. There are so many similar occurances. This is a huge fire hazzard.

Went to garage for vehicle to pass routine inspection. However, the OIL FILTER HOUSING was leaking quite a bit. Due to the size of the leak, I had to pay to replace the oil filter housing and the related fluids. This was about a 3 hours repair. I could not drive the vehicle until the part was replaced. This part failing and leaking at about 85,800 miles seems to have been premature. The garage staff told me the vehicle could not pass inspection until the part was replaced. It seems as if the part has had issues and the newer components may be more durable.

Two blocks from home my Pentastar oil filter housing & cooler line broke and there was oil all over and the car stalled just before my driveway. Could not start it and had a towing company take to Meekhof Tire & Service where I have my work done. Safety was ok. No inspected other than Meekhof checking to see what was wrong. There were no warning lights on dash. Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and never did a recall. So I had to get a used 3.6lV6 engine.

Cylinder #1 misfire fuel injectors replaced 4/16/2024; 7/26/2024 cylinder #6 misfire and compression leak. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge additional issue with this 3.6L engine cylinder head. Customer service disconnected me when I asked to file a complaint. Called the Canadian phone number on X56 service bulletin and repeatedly got disconnect.
