“Engine noise. Compared to our old van, the sounds from the new van engine are louder. I noticed when we bought the 2011 van in january, that it does not have a sound insulated hood. Today when driving a 2010 loaner t&c - from the local dealer when our transmission was being serviced - the 2010 has a piece of insulation on the underside of the hood. The 2011 model does not have this insulation and is noisier. Is this a cost cutting effort? Nothing like trying to please customers to help future sales.”

NHTSA complaint #10427116, filed 2011-09, 1,250 miles“Chrysler s best kept secret, flaws in the cylinder heads of their new 283 hp v6 engine. The engine over heats at highway speeds, mine ran as high as 244 degrees f. And the AC would not work on a hot day and a long trip. The dealer did not know about this problem. I went on the internet and for $56.00 I knew all about it in 5 minutes. If I had known about the problem ahead of time I would not have spent $32,000.00 for the head ache. I showed my information to the service manager and he called me and told me I was right! Now he has to find new improved heads. …”
