Consumer Description
The rocker arms have failed twice and caused a constantly flashing check engine light. I was told by the mechanic that this is a common problem with the 3.6 liter engine and if you continue to drive you will have catastrophic engine damage. The engine shudders and shakes and will not respond as it should. It constantly needs spark plugs. There is a constant ticking in the engine, it misfires and when it loses power you have to make a quick maneuver to avoid being hit. This model requires constant repair. My Chrysler trained mechanic said that there is no permanent repair. He called the Town and County 3.6 liter junk. While going out of town the engine slowed from 80mph to 40mph. An 18 wheeler behind me slammed on brakes and blew his horn. I had to drive off of the road to avoid being killed. I could not drive over 40mph. I found the closest hotel for the night and had to have the vehicle towed the next morning.
