2015 Chrysler Town and Country: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Jul 26, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · MI

Transmission completely failed and had to be risky rebuilt. I was just driving down the highway and the transmission went into limp mode and I came to a fast slow down as it dropped the gearing. Also have noticed a huge issue with electronics putting me into a limp mode with wipers on headlights wont shut off, lose dash lights and speedometer with no blinkers or hazard lights. This left me in a very unsafe place as I had no way to tell other drivers where I was going or see how fast im going. Could have caused a huge accident 😕. Please look into this as there are many issues of this happening.

The passenger side sliding door has started intermittently not closing/latching completely whether closed manually or using automatic closure. The door will close but report as open either immediately or sometimes randomly while driving down the road. I know because the door ajar sign is lit, it makes a door open noise, and the overhead lights will even turn on. This could last seconds or minutes. I have had success closing the door manually multiple times, but I can't stop every 5 minutes on a longer trip. You can hear the motor continuously trying to close but will not latch. I have not been able to replicate for dealer, but searching online demonstrates other users are having this complaint. This also seems to happen more during warmer weather. I worry that a failure of the door latching mechanism could cause safety features to not perform correctly during a collision.

The battery and check engine lights are constantly on despite a new battery, new battery cable, and new alternator. The cruise control will randomly stop working. Abs and vehicle stability lights will go on and off. And at times headlights, dash, and radio screen will flicker and lose power making it impossible to see or know what the car is doing. Mechanic has looked at and repaired the car 3 different times and there is nothing identifiably wrong. The car is now unsafe to drive not knowing when the dash will go out, speed will reduce, or lights turn off. It is a hazard to the driver and others on the road.

The passenger side sliding door will not latch closed in hot weather. It continuously tries to close but doesn’t latch. This has been happening for years. Now it is starting to do this while driving when the door is not even being opened or closed. The overhead lights come on and the door ajar symbol flashes and dings. It will continue to do this for 20 minutes or more while the door continuously tries to close. I have two children and feel that this is a safety issue because the door is not secure while driving. I have not yet taken it to a dealer because I have read online that tons of people have this problem and dealers haven’t been able to find a cause.

Headlights keep going out. I've had both low beam headlights replaced twice in less than 3 months. High beams, signal, parking lights all work as they should. I took it to a shop and they said the hid headlight ballast needed replaced. No power going to low beams. Had it replaced and lights worked fine for about 2 months. Now I'm having the same problem again. I just bought the van in july. I've searched the problem and this seems to be a recurring issue with this model.

Every year since owning this vehicle I've had to replace a headlight from burnt bulbs to full headlamp replacement. My message center on the dash never indicates headlight is out. I've owned my 2015 chrysler town and counttry limited platinum for 5 years and had to have this issue resolved every year. I've had the dealer do the repairs each time so it can be documented.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chrysler town and country. While driving at night on an unlite road, the headlamps failed to illuminate the roadway sufficiently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was concerned that there was an object inside of the headlamp that prohibited the proper projection of the headlamp beam. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 500. *tt consumer stated low beam light only gives 20 yd of light on unlite roads. Updated 8/8/18
