What 679 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Chrysler Town And Country

The Battery died and would not recharge. I checked the van. No lights were left on; no warning notifications. I replaced the battery. I had the seat behind the driver seat stowed because I had surgery on my left foot and needed to haul my knee cart with me. I no longer needed it so I raised the seat and found it had melted/burnt in several spots on the seat back. I was mortified! My van is a 2013 but is in great shape and only has 46,937 miles on it. It was parked in my garage and could have caused a house fire killing all occupants. I contacted Chrysler. They won't assist in the repair or replacement stating it hadn't been recalled and was no longer in warranty. Insurance denied the claim due to it being a part malfunction. Please let others know that the seat heater & wiring harness are defective!! I feel Chrysler should accept the responsibility pay for the repairs due to defective parts. Had this fire continued, they would be facing a much larger lawsuit such as wrongful death, etc.

I was driving and all of a sudden I heard a loud pop and the driver side head rest deployed on its own. There was no accident, I was just was driving. The headrest struck the back of my head resulting in me having a sore neck.

What started as an intermittent crank / no start issue quickly progressed to complete failure of fuel pump relay that is part of TIPM. During the first crank no start issue on the day in question I was able to use remote start and the vehicle started normally. (Probably do to slightly higher system voltage as some accessories are turned off during remote start vs pushbutton start). Later the same day is when the complete failure occurred. This could be a major inconvenience for many, but in the harsh Minnesota winters it's more than just inconvenient when you have a wife and young kids in a vehicle away from home that will not start when air temps are in the single digits and wind chill is far below zero. Fortunately / sadly, this is such a common problem that I was able to diagnose it rather quickly with Google, but not before getting a frostbitten finger. I was able to bypass this fuel pump relay by forcing a paper clip into fuse holder M37 and getting keyed power from an alternative source, fuse M25. I don't, however, recommend this fix. What I do recommend is that Chrysler Corporation expand the recall of affected vehicles with this TIPM to include ALL vehicles that this was installed in. In hindsight, a totally unexplained, drained battery overnight while hundreds of miles from home was probably my first sign of this failing relay as it most likely stuck on forcing fuel pump to stay running with ignition off. This occurred 26 days prior to my crank / no start issue. After jump starting and fully charging, battery was tested and passed. Battery resting voltage tested day after crank / no start issue is 12.8V. If I remove relay jumper, crank no start persists.

ON 8/15/19, MY 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT RIDING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON THE CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN THE HEADREST POPPED OUT AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD THROWING MY HEAD FORWARD CAUSING MY HAT AND SUNGLASSES TO FLY INTO THE DASHBOARD. MY NECK WAS SORE FOR A DAY OR 2 BUT I DO NOT HAVE LINGERING PHYSICAL ISSUES THAT I KNOW OF. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE VIA THE MOPAR WEBSITE CHAT AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHICH QUOTED ME $700 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST. UPON INSPECTION, THE THIN PLASTIC MOUNT THAT RETAINS THE METAL RELEASE BAR CRUMBLED CAUSING THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY. THIS IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE AS I HAVE READ ON CAR FORUMS HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENING TO PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME HEADREST. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF A DRIVER IS HIT IN THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING.

YESTERDAY MY 69 YEAR OLD MOTHER GOT INTO THE 2ND ROW CAPTAIN SEAT OF MY VAN. I WAS BUCKLING MY SON INTO THE OTHER CAPTAIN SEAT. ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE SCREAMED. SHE PULLED THE LEVER ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO LEAN THE SEAT BACK AND THE HEADREST SNAPPED FORWARD WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE AND ALMOST KNOCKED HER OUT. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED SO I INVESTIGATED.... THE LEVER THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TILT THE SEAT BACK IS ALSO THE SAME LEVER THAT RELEASES THE SEAT FROM THE FLOORBOARD AND SNAPS IT FORWARD SO THAT IT IS FOLDED UP TO GO DOWN INTO THE FLOOR FOR STORAGE. SO, IF YOU PULL THAT LEVER ALL THE WAY UP - THE SEAT SNAPS OUT OF THE FLOOR AND FOLDS UP LIKE A ACCORDION WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF FORCE. IF YOU GENTLY PULL THAT LEVER UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY, IT ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THE TILT OF THE SEAT BACK. IN OTHER WORDS, ALLOWS YOU TO RECLINE OR SIT UP MORE. I WAS SHOCKED!!! IF THAT HEADREST SNAPS FORWARD WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO ALMOST KNOCK OUT A FULL GROWN ADULT, WHAT WOULD IT DO TO A CHILD? HOW IS A CHILD SUPPOSED TO KNOW NOT TO PULL THE LEVER UP ALL THE WAY? HOW CAN I PREVENT MY KIDS FROM PULLING THAT LEVER? THERE'S NO WAY TO LOCK IT. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME IN A STATIONARY POSITION. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT ME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE PURCHASED NEW TIRES FOR THE FRONT OF OUR 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY ON 9/29/17 FROM TIRES PLUS IN STILLWATER, MN. ON 10/10/17, JUST 11 DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON A SMOOTH, CLEAR HIGHWAY, THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEW UP, CAUSING A HORRIFIC CRASH. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION, THE CAR VEERED OUT OF CONTROL, MY HUSBAND FOUGHT THE WHEEL AS IT SKIDDED ALONG THE GRAVEL VERGE. WE WERE ON 2 WHEELS, ABOUT TO FLIP, WHEN WE HIT A PAVED DRIVEWAY, WHICH SWUNG THE VAN AROUND FULL FORCE DOWN A DITCH INTO A PINE GROVE. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, WE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES (ALTHOUGH IT TURNS OUT THEY AREN'T SO MINOR AFTER ALL) THANKS TO SAFETY CONSTRUCTION IN THE CAR AND OUR SEAT BELTS. THE VAN WAS TOTALED. WITNESSES, THE SHERIFF, THE WRECKER DRIVERS (IT TOOK 2), AND (LATER) OUR MECHANIC AGREED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE RIM SUDDENLY, (HENCE THE EXPLOSION SOUND) AND WAS CLEARLY THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. WE WERE 200 MILES FROM HOME AND NEEDED A HOTEL, HOSPITAL VISITS, AND A NEW CAR. RESIDUAL INJURIES ARE MINOR BUT IMPAIR OUR DAILY LIVES: WRENCHED SHOULDERS, PERSISTENT BRUISING, PTSD, AND THE TIME AND COST OF BORROWING MONEY TO GET A REPLACEMENT CAR. ATTORNEYS AREN'T INTERESTED IN THE CASE BECAUSE OUR INJURIES AREN'T PROFITABLE ENOUGH FOR THEM, BUT THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE THE PRODUCT FAILED, AND OUR LIVES THREATENED. IF WE HADN'T HIT THAT DRIVEWAY, OR SEAT BELTS AND STRUCTURAL PROTECTIONS, WE'D HAVE ROLLED AND DIED. THE TIRE WAS CLEARLY THE CAUSE.
