2015 Chrysler Town & Country Speed Control & Cruise Problems

when coming to a stop the van will jerk, and when taking off it acts like it does not want to catch the gear, now we are expirancing no take off, it will not go past 20 miles, and when we try the engine will rev up and will not pick up speed.

THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, WE CAME FROM A SHORT 4 DAYS VACATION IN ELKO NEVADA, WE ARE HEADING HOME BUT AFTER PASSING DONNER PASS APPROACHING COLFAX THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, RPM SHOOTS UP BUT THE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO SPEED UP AND COME TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING ANYMORE EVEN IT WAS IN THE DRIVE MODE UNLESS YOU TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THEN IT WILL MOVE JUST A FEW METERS AWAY AND THE SAME STORY. THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO CALL ON AAA TOWING SERVICE EVEN BECAUSE IT DIDN'T WORK OUT. NEED YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE REGARDING THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH MOUNTAINOUS ROADS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT PROPERLY OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOORE CHRYSLER JEEP FIAT (8600 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382, (800) 757-0140) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON DOESN'T ALWAYS TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL ON OR OFF. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO USE THE BREAK TO TURN IT OFF. WHEN TURNING IT OFF, THE CANCEL AND EVEN THE OFF BUTTON DON'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHEN I'M TRYING TO TURN IT ON. THE BUTTON TO MAKE IT GO FASTER OR SLOW DOWN SEEM TO WORK. IT'S THE ON/OFF AND THE CANCEL BUTTONS THAT DON'T SEEM TO WORK. I PUT TODAY'S DATE BELOW, BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS. IT ALSO HAPPENS AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. PRESSED ON GAS TO PASS VEHICLE AND WHEN I LET OFF OF GAS, VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING. STEPPED ON BRAKE MULTIPLE TIMES AND TURNED CRUISE CONTROL OFF & VEHICLE STILL ACCELERATED UP TO 92 MPH. A RED LIGHTENING BOLT LIKE ITEM SHOWED ON THE DISPLAY. FINALLY, AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED. THERE IS A RECALL THROUGH CHRYSLER FOR THIS VERY ISSUE BUT THE TOWN & COUNTRY IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CODE THAT SHOWS UP SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME AND SUGGESTED I NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL (WASN'T PLANNING ON USE IT!). I TOLD THEM THAT NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL IS OKAY TEMPORARILY BUT IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX.

I HAVEN'T REACHED 50,000 MILES YET BUT MY FUEL INJECTOR HAS GONE BAD. WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE. I CHECKED THE MANUAL AND IT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TO THE LOCATION CLOSES TO ME AND THE LOCATION I BROUGHT IT FROM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM.

ACCELERATES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE PARKING

CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT HOLD A STEADY SPEED ON HILLS, EVEN SMALL HILLS LIKE WE HAVE IN MICHIGAN. THE SPEED DROPS 3-4 MPH AS IT GOES UPHILL (VERY UNSAFE FOR THOSE TRAVELING BEHIND US), THEN IT DOWNSHIFTS AND ACCELERATES 5-7 MPH (VERY UNSAFE FOR THOSE TRAVELING IN FRONT OF US). EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP I MENTIONED IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER (I TAUGHT AUTOMOTIVE SO I HAVE GRADUATE CONNECTIONS AT CHRYSLER). THEIR ANSWER IS THAT IS NORMAL. NO OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, EVER, HAD THIS PROBLEM, ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE EIGHTIES. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

ENGINE HESITATES AND TRANSMISSION JERKS UPON ACCELERATING AND AT TIMES DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY AND /OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED TWICE (LOCATES ON ROUTE 60 BRANDON FL) AND RESPONSE WAS NO ISSUES ENCOUNTERED. MIND YOU MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE.
