2010 Chrysler Town And Country

The 2014 Town and Country is notorious for TIPM failures that cause fuel pump relay sticking (engine won't start or fuel pump runs continuously with ignition off), horn honking randomly, power windows and locks malfunctioning, and wipers activating on their own. This is a widespread defect affecting most 2011-2016 Chrysler minivans and was subject to a class-action lawsuit.

Replace the TIPM unit entirely. Chrysler extended warranty coverage for TIPM-related fuel pump relay issues under Customer Satisfaction Notification N47. An external bypass relay can be installed as a temporary fix for the fuel pump relay issue specifically. Aftermarket rebuilt TIPMs are available for significantly less than dealer cost.

Both power sliding doors fail to open, close, or latch properly. Common symptoms include the door reversing mid-travel, opening only partway, making grinding noises, or becoming completely inoperative. The problems stem from worn door track rollers, frayed cables in the door motor assembly, and faulty door latch microswitches.

Replace the sliding door cable and motor assembly. TSB 23-007-14 addresses the sliding door track roller and cable replacement procedure. Lubricate the door track rails with white lithium grease. If the door latch is the issue, the entire latch assembly must be replaced as the microswitches are not serviceable separately.

The 62TE 6-speed automatic transmission develops a shudder during light acceleration between 35-50 mph, commonly caused by degraded torque converter clutch material contaminating the transmission fluid. In more severe cases, the transmission loses gears entirely, goes into limp mode, or suffers solenoid pack failure.

Perform a transmission fluid and filter change using only ATF+4 fluid. If shudder persists, the torque converter must be replaced along with a complete fluid flush. TSB 21-003-14 REV. A addresses torque converter shudder. Solenoid pack replacement may resolve electronic shift quality issues.

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 oil filter housing assembly develops leaks from the oil cooler O-ring seals, causing oil to drip onto the exhaust and create a burning smell. The leak often appears at 50,000-80,000 miles and progressively worsens. If left unaddressed, significant oil loss can lead to engine damage from low oil levels.

Replace the oil cooler housing gaskets and O-rings. TSB 09-002-14 covers the updated oil filter housing assembly with revised seals. The entire housing must be removed to access the lower O-rings. Use OEM Mopar seals as aftermarket O-rings tend to fail prematurely on this application.

In northern climates and salt-belt states, the 2014 Town and Country develops severe corrosion along the rocker panels, rear quarter panels, and front subframe. The subframe rust is particularly dangerous as it can compromise structural integrity. The issue is accelerated by road salt exposure and inadequate factory corrosion protection in wheel well areas.

Inspect the subframe and rocker panels annually for rust perforation. Minor surface rust can be treated with rust converter and undercoating. Severely corroded subframes must be replaced for safety. Chrysler extended corrosion warranty to 10 years on certain structural components under Customer Satisfaction Notification P49.
