NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION:PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE SENSOR filed March 22, 2023

NHTSA complaint #1882095 (ODI reference 11513214) concerns a 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY and was filed on March 22, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 13, 2023. The vehicle had 59,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:oil/lubrication:pressure/temperature sensor, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:engine:oil/lubrication:pressure/temperature sensor failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, steam was coming from the radiator. The temperature gauge failed to indicate that the engine had overheated. The contact pulled over and discovered that the coolant had leaked out. The contact added water to the coolant reservoir and then drove the vehicle to the residence where the coolant hose was replaced. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and the contact was informed that he needed pay for a diagnostic test to determine the cause of the temperature gauge failure to indicate that the engine had overheated. The temperature gauge was not replaced. The failure mileage was 59,000.
