Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 4 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2015 TOWN AND COUNTRY. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I was driving at 515 am on the highway about 60 mph, when all of a sudden Drive aside headrest airbag went off. I am thankful that it was early in the morning and not a lot of people on the road cuz I did swerve but did not hit anyone or anything as it startled me as I was driving. I called Chrysler see case number below and they will do nothing about this. As this car is made you need to replace the whole seat they want me to pay for the Diagnostics waiting for a supervisor to call me back. I've been icing my lower neck and back since it happened.

Passenger side active head rest deployed suddenly while driving down the road on a hot day (90 degrees with heat factor 100+) Called dealer and they stated extended coverage for this expired June 13. This happened on July 28. They want to order parts, approx 170 USD and charge 108 USD labor. This is a common problem because of manufacturing with inferior plastic parts and it is violent when it pops apart unexpectedly.
I purchased the vehicle yesterday. On drive home I noticed that it stop pulling. I took foot off of gas and reapply and the vehicle picked up speed again. I got home and checked recalls for this year vehicle and noticed a safety recall for the transmission. When I called dealership today and gave the VIN # they said there were no recalls for my vehicle. But my vehicle is performing exactly like the safety recall reported. Person I bought it from said she's been the only owner. So now I'm going to have to find a shop to repair the transmission because I refuse to drive a vehicle that's unsafe. Why was my van not included in the recall when the recall list included my year make and model?
The Head Restraint (AHR) on the driver's seat opened, without warning, striking the back of my head with considerable force. I was startled and momentarily dazed, as a result. The vehicle was parked at the time, so no impact or collision was involved. The Head restraint has not been repaired and is available for inspection. I have seen many reports of the same problem with numerous other vehicles. The manufacturers should be responsible for the repairs. Thank you!

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while her husband was driving uphill at an undisclosed speed, the transmission failed to properly shift into a higher gear, and the engine was revving abnormally. The contact pulled over the side of the road 1,000 ft away from the residence and added transmission fluid to the vehicle. The contact stated that while following her husband in another vehicle, she observed leaking fluid underneath the vehicle. The contactâs husband stopped the vehicle and the contact noticed that transmission reservoir was empathy.

The passenger side active head restraints (AHRs) deployed unexpectedly while the van was unoccupied inside our garage. Upon investigation the metal latch bar was still in it's undeployed location (latched into the head rest) but there were visible plastic parts missing on the other portion of the headrest. It appears that the plastic clamps had broken at some point and caused the AHR to deploy - luckily nobody was in that seat at the time. The AHR was unable to be reset so a replacement headrest has been ordered for installation.
In approximately 10 separate instances starting around December 12th when I was driving my 2015 Town and Chrysler Mini van, it would lose power and shut off randomly. I would attempt to steer the car to the side or middle of the road (I lost the ability to turn the wheel), shut the car off and turn it back on and the car would start up again no problem. I took the car to the dealership three times for this issue and they were not able to find an issue any of the times I brought it in. It happened once when my daughter was in the car. I was concerned from my safety because I could have been rear ended. I avoid highway driving because of this issue.
