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)

The passenger right side sliding door locking mechanism has failed. It makes a very loud rattling / ratcheting sound when the door closes automatically. No warning lamps or messages indicating a failure. Date first noticed was June 22, 2022. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by an independent service center. We have been told the local Chrysler Dealer is backed up for months due to lack of Service Staff. The concern is for the safety of passengers in that the lock is not working properly and the door could open or possibly jam in an accident situation. We have been informed by others in the community that the Dealer has been known to confiscate vehicles that have recalls that they do not have parts or people to repair. Vehicles are kept behind a locked fence. This seems illegal. This vehicle is needed and can't be given up or seized by a dealer. No loaner vehicles.

In june the engine had to be replaced in my vehicle. In may, the oil container was replaced. Now in september the transmission is being replaced. Last year sometime, there were electrical issues addressed. Now the air conditioning in the back of the vehicle does not work. It seems we are totally rebuilding the chrysler town & country 2015 all at substantial costs to me. While they are putting in a new transmission, they tell me that they are too busy to check the electrical issue and the air conditioning troubles. Yet I waited for nearly a month for a westchester dealer to replace the engine and they did not honor my additional insurance by giving me a rental vehicle - so I had no transportation. I have had a horrible time with the troubles, inconveniences and costs. Don't I have any rights here? I was driving my vehicle on narrow streets in a busy resort area - thank god it was very early in the morning because the car just stopped running with no warning. This turned out to be transmission on sunday morning labor day weekend! I am still in the resort area paying for housing while they "fix" my transmission. Parts were to arrive yesterday sept 10th but didn't arrive until early this evening. They are not sure they can have it fixed by friday sept 13, 2019. Last summer the electrical stability went bonkers. That was another issue. Also my vehicle keeps going down in value. I owe more on it than it is now worth. Documentation is with my vehicle which is currently undergoing transmission repairs. That is documentation of all of these repairs since making this purchase less than 18 months ago.
