Known issues to check on a 2013 Chrysler Town And Country
- 62TE 6-Speed Automatic: Shift Quality and Pump Recall (2011–2016)
Every 2011 and later model uses the 62TE 6-speed automatic with the Pentastar V6. Used vans should be road tested for harsh, slipping or delayed shifts, since the transmission works hard in a heavy family vehicle. Separately, certain 2015-2016 vans built from July 31, 2015 to April 18, 2016 were recalled because the transmission pump could seize and cause a loss of drive (NHTSA 16V-461).
What to do: Road-test carefully and confirm the 16V-461 recall is complete if it applies to the VIN. - Pentastar V6 Oil Filter Housing / Cooler Leaks and Early Head Wear (2011–2016)
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 mounts a plastic oil filter housing with an integrated oil cooler in the engine valley. With age it can crack or its gaskets can leak oil or coolant, which may collect out of sight before dripping. Some early (roughly 2011-2013) Pentastar engines also suffered left cylinder-head valve-seat wear that caused a misfire and ticking; FCA extended warranty coverage on that head for 10 years/150,000 miles, which has likely expired on vans of this age.
What to do: Look for oil or coolant leaks around the oil filter housing; a documented replacement is a plus. - Driver Armrest Vent-Window Switch Overheating Recall (NHTSA 14V-234) (2011–2014)
Certain 2010-2014 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vans built August 25, 2010 through October 31, 2013 were recalled because the power vent-window switch in the driver's door armrest could overheat, creating a fire risk.
What to do: Confirm the vent-window switch recall is complete on a 2011-2014 van. - Power Sliding Doors and Liftgate Operation (2011–2016)
Power sliding doors and power liftgates see heavy family use. Worn cables, rollers, latches, door wiring or pinch sensors can cause doors that stall, reverse, or will not latch.
What to do: Cycle each power door and the liftgate several times during inspection. - Rear Climate Control and Stow 'n Go Seating Check (2011–2016)
Three-zone climate control and Stow 'n Go fold-in-floor seats are key features. Rear air conditioning can lose performance from leaks in the long rear lines, and seat latches and floor bins can be damaged by heavy use.
What to do: Test rear A/C and fold every seat before buying a family van. - Airbag Software (2013) and Windshield Bonding (2015-2016) Recalls (2013–2016)
Certain 2013 vans built May 10, 2012 through June 7, 2013 were recalled because airbag-controller software could deploy the side airbags on the side opposite an impact (NHTSA 13V-283). Certain 2015-2016 Town & Countrys built August 2014 through December 2015 may have windshields installed with expired primer, letting the glass displace in a crash (NHTSA 16V-044).
What to do: Run the VIN and confirm these recalls are complete if they apply.
Recall applicability varies by model year, production date and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls and completed remedies, including the vent-window switch (2011-2014) and transmission-pump (2015-2016) recalls where they apply.
