In owners' own words
From february 22nd 2018 to date, this automobile has registered numerous no crank no start failures, requiring several tows. It has stalled in traffic on a major highway, nearly causing an accident. Chrysler refuses to take a responsibility for these actions, that was caused by many years of poor quality control and engineering practices. They have a responsibly to their customer to provide the quality promised them. Electrical system · reported at 111,902 miles

We have a 2012 Town And Country just over 36000 miles and the blind spot detection system is failing. Now when I drive the car the lights on the mirrors light up all the time and there is a beeping sound that will not quit. It's a danger at night because the lights stay on or blink on and off all the time. There is not a separate fuse for this feature so you can't pull the fuse or you will lose things you need.
