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.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My 2014 T&C has a problem with the TPMS. It shows that I have low pressure all the time. There was a recall for this (P63 NHTSA 14V-632) but the dealer says my VIN is not covered. I have the exact problem and model year so come on.
The airbag light comes on and off. No rhyme or reason. Multiple owners having the same issue. Also airbags didn't deployed on any accident, we have had two where we were struck from behind and airbag didn't deploy. Chrysler is forcing owners to fix this issue instead of doing a recall or investigation. I don't feel safe in vehicle knowing the airbag is malfunctioning.
Driving at 30 mph or slower, the engine shuts off and the computer resets it'self. The gas mileage goes from 21 to 22 mpg back to factory 18 mpg and you have no power steering and no power brakes. It could cause me to wreck for the last time I was in down town lisbon, Ohio making a left turn when it just shut off and lost power. You put it in neutral and it will start right up but it's hard to do while turning and no power steering or brakes.

Van was parked in my driveway. My passenger window malfunctioned when rolling down. It made a loud noise and then fell rapidly down into the door frame. I heard it breaking as it fell down at rapid speed inside of the door.
When the vehicle is in motion and coming to a stop light or sign. It starts to jerk and shudder. Sometimes stalling and it needs to be put into park restarted and sometimes it will immediately die again. No codes are thrown and all mechanics and Chrysler dealers are stumped as to what's causing it.
Vehicle dashboard displayed service blind spot detector while driving on the highway at 55 mph. After a few more miles, lost power to the entire display and interior lights. The speedometer, fuel gauge, temp gauges flat lined. A few seconds later the display came back on with all the fault lights on: Engine light, tire pressure, brake light, etc. Service center detailed the problem was a corroded blind spot sensor that caused a bus failure and shorted out the electrical system. After doing several searches online this is a known issue with the blind spot detectors becoming corroded and needing to be replaced. This is potentially hazardous to lose power while travelling at highway speeds. Video from youtube of repair and part corrosion: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=bz4aazc5fsw
Twice, as the vehicle has been in motion, the engine has stopped and the ability to steer is gone. The radio has stayed on. Both instances have happened at 25mph or less, thankfully!
Rear ac evaporator made out of aluminum and exposed to elements by placement has corroded and there is now a leak. This seems to be a reoccurring problem in this vehicle, yet still made year after year the same way. This is also a costly repair, costing between $1500 - $2000 because the frame needs to be removed to repair in most cases. Not to mention the negative effects this is having on the atmosphere by leaking these chemicals. (there is a lot of research behind this). My vehicle, now only 3 years old is useless because of the safety concern of allowing my children to ride in a car during 90 degree weather without any cool air. It is a hot box inside. Even with the windows down, you can not ride in the car for more than 20 minutes at a time without being severely overheated.
Blind spot sensors on both sides are not working. I have not heard of any recalls for this problem. I've had them in for service several times. Passenger side sensor was replaced once and drivers side twice but problems keep reoccuring. Indicator on dash reads service blind spot sensor.
Driver side sliding door motor begins to operate on its own while the vehicle is on or off. The vehicle has now been at a dealer 3 times for repair without any success. This time it also has caused complete failure of several battery cells causing the vehicle to be hazardous to driving as the vehicle does still start and drive, however, there are times it does shut off due tot he battery issue.
I was driving on the highway with my children in the car. It was a very hot day, but we had just had a rainstorm. There were no cars around me on the road and all of a sudden a heard loud boom. I checked my windows nothing around me. I looked up and opened the sunroof cover, and saw my sunroof was shattered into tiny pieces with a large hole in the top. I immediately closed the cover so that the glass didn't fall in my car onto my children.
The tire system light stays on. The dealer state ties are new. I inflated all the tires to the recommended presser. Chrysler corporation said vehicle VIN number not under the same recall # P63
Our van was parked in our driveway with our kids inside. When my wife opened the driver's door it began to roll down the driveway, dragging my wife and with our two small children in the van. The van went across the street striking a neighbors ac unit. My wife suffered a broken arm, sprained ankle, and a gash on her chin. A police report was filed for the incident. I believe this to be a mechanical failure of the vehicle.
The vehicle vibrates excessively when driven. The seats all move violently. Car dealers have balanced the tires to no avail. The tires wear out unevenly, cupping because of this issue. We just had new tires installed to correct the problem, according to the dealer that was the fix but the car is still vibrating. The dealer looked at the car again and suggested we rotate tires that were just installed 60 days ago. The tires are again wearing unevenly. We need assistance in having this problem resolved once and for all. The car has 1 year or 12,000 miles left on its warranty. I've lost hope that the dealer will be able to resolve the issue.
While driving on the expressway the bolts that hold hood latch in place became loose and the hood lifted while in motion. Vehicle was going at a speed of about 70mph. The hood hit the windshield with a strong force and instantly shattered the front windshield.
The tire pressure monitoring system TPMS is not functioning correctly, the system does not detect a low pressure or zero psi event or wheel removal for all four tires while stationary or moving. The system constantly reports all tire pressures are ok and without any faults. Chrysler has a recall for this issue "NHTSA campaign: 14V632000, TPMS left in test mode" but for unknown reasons my VIN does not qualify even though vehicle is within recall mfg date of April 2014. I have posted a video documenting the malfunctioning/disabled TPMS system at https://youtu.be/xd08eoiwntu
The vehicle was parked in the garage when the driver entered the vehicle. The driver pressed the ignition button to turn the vehicle, keeping her foot on the brake. As the vehicle started, the wipers came on at high speed without having been turned on at the time or previously. At the same time, the engine revved and began to accelerate in reverse despite being in park with the driver's foot on the brake. The driver's door was open and crashed against the side of the garage door, ejecting the driver who had not even had time to put her on seat belt. The van continued to reverse down the driveway where it completed (almost) a 180 degree turn. The van finally came to a stop rolling up against a sidewalk curb with a couple more engine revs. A person other than the driver was the first to the vehicle after it came to a stop. He noted that the vehicle was in park. He shut the vehicle off by pressing the ignition button. The owner of the van and driver are very concerned about the vehicle's and their safety after having experienced this incident.
Sometimes when you open the side door on the drivers side it opens and then starts to shut again before you have a chance to get in or out. If you are in the process of getting in or out the door will hit you. This doesn't always happen but when it does it is frustrating. I am afraid someone will get hurt. When this happens I hit the button by the mirror and it seems to fix the problem.
