This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

I don't know much about vehicles. So when I get the obd scanned to make sure things are good to sell my van and it throws back many error codes, I was surprised. I thought the vibration/shaking was minor or just because I only had 4 out 6 engine mounts replaced. I was told the tipm was bad, the transmission, the tire pressure sensors don't work. The eco drive doesn't work. I was told that there was a problem with mine that was recalled but only on half of the vehicles and my vin wasn't one of them recalled even though it's the same problem. I was told the main fuse panel under the hood needs replaced. From what I was told, all the needed repairs will cost about as much as I paid for the vehicle itself. There have been lights on the dash since a few days after I bought it but the obd didn't want to put out any reading. I named her Christine because she seems to have a mind of her own. The rpm's go sky high whenever they feel like it so I often have to pull over, turn it off and wait about 5 minutes. I didn't know where to turn to get help with this before it nickel and dimes me into the even more poor house.
The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the tire pressure warning light indicated that one of the tires had 0 pressure. The failure recurred randomly. The vehicle was taken to dealer where it was diagnosed that the tire pressure monitor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also mentioned that on a different occasion the vehicle lost all power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
I was driving southbound on I-95, on the right lane. I passed the entrance after conner street, and as I continued to drive, there was a huge pothole which was unavoidable. As a result of pothole, my rims cracked and wheels lumped up on the sides. I had to replace the rims and wheels on my vehicle.
The vehicle 'charging system light', 'tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light', and 'airbag warning light' have stayed on. The tires pressure light first turn on about 05/16/2014 the airbag light first turn on 07/23/2014 while driving. The charging system light first turn on 08/06/2014.
Noisy tires, 225 65R 17 Michelin energy A/S feathering on outside edges on front tires. Alignment checked and found to be in spec by dealer. Tirerack rates this tire very high, but after a few thousand miles, they are already showing signs of abnormal wear and cupping. The combination of the T&C fwd engine weight, cheap front end components which cause stability problems, along with this soft riding, hard rubber Michelin, will become another problem like the Ford Explorer & mavericks with Firestone 500S. Steering stability, quick response and wander are a safely issue on this tire /vehicle combination.

Today I noted that both Michelin as energy saver 225 65 R17 front tires are cupping on outside edge, steering has been very sensitive at high speed, vehicle wanders easily on the freeway requiring frequent steering correction. It is the alignment of the "caster" adjustment/design or manufacturing of the new T&C design has a problem. With only 3500 miles on it, I ran my hand over the tread of all tires, and the front tires are cupping, while the rear are smooth. Please advise. Dealer informed of oversensitve steering, has not performed an alignment yet. Waiting for a call from Chrysler complaint dept.
