2006 Chrysler Town And Country Lwb

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE IN MOTION, STOPPED OR AT ANY SPEED ON A ROAD SOON AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. THE ENGINE STALLING ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A FILL UP AND WAS NOT AFFECTED BY WEATHER CONDITIONS, FUEL VENDOR OR FUEL AMOUNT PUMPED. NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR CODES SHOWED UP AFTER THE INCIDENTS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING.

FUTURA 2000 LTE P215/65TR16 RM6V XAC 3712 I HAVE A RECEIPT DATED 6-18-2016 FOR 2 TIRES INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF MY 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN. BOTH TIRES HAVE RECENTLY FAILED, TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRE IN MAY WAS A BLOW OUT AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 10, THE NEXT TIRE WAS NOT A BLOWOUT. IN ALL MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT AND NEVER HAD TWO OF THE SAME TIRES FAIL SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. MILEAGE ON MY VAN AT INSTALLATION WAS 102130 AND MILEAGE AT FAILURE WAS 144258 AND THE NEXT TIRE AT 145258. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY YOUR QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICE AND I ALSO WANT MORE THAN THE PATHETIC 25 DOLLAR AND 10 DOLLAR OFF ON REPLACEMENT OF THESE TIRES. YES ALL TIRES WERE INSTALLED AT PEPBOYS, IN NICEVILLE, FL #1535 850-678-0887.

FILLED UP OUR VAN WITH GAS. LEFT THE GAS STATION TO CUT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE LANE WAS CLEAR SO I WENT. AS I ACCELERATED THE VAN SHUDDERED AND CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!. LOST ALL POWER, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT IN A HEAD ON COLLISION OR WERE T-BONED IN THE SIDE. MY WIFE AND 1 YEAR OLD WERE IN THE CAR AND COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. IMMEDIATELY I WENT AND STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT HAPPENED. COME TO FIND IT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS. THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE GAS SYSTEM OF THESE VANS. I FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND YOU CAN SEE THEIR STORIES FOUND HERE: HTTP://EN.ALLEXPERTS.COM/Q/CHRYSLER-REPAIR-807/F/STALLING-REFUELING.HTM ALSO THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED: FOUND HERE : HTTP://RICKSFREEAUTOREPAIRADVICE.COM/ENGINE-STALLS-AFTER-FILLING-TANK-CHRYSLER-MINIVAN/ NOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS, I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL ORDER FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO THIS DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FLAW. MAYBE SOMEONE ALREADY HAS BEEN, AND DIDNT LIVE TO TELL THE STORY. ALL I KNOW IS IT DOESN'T GET MUCH WORSE THAN LOSING ALL POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION, AND THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. HOPEFULLY SOMEONES DEATH OR AN ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURING IS NOT WHAT IT TAKES FOR A MAJOR RECALL TO HAPPEN. T

STALLS AT STOP AFTER FULL GAS TANK REFUELING, DOESN'T STALL IF NOT COMPLETELY FULL. *TR

THE MAP LIGHT BULBS MADE INCOMPLETE ELECTRICAL CONTACT. THIS CAUSED ARCHING BETWEEN THE CONTACTS ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHTS. THE PLASTIC THEN MELTED AND RESULTED IN A FIRE INSIDE THE MAP LIGHT ASSEMBLY (OEM WAGONER PART NO. J5-PC579). *TR

STOPPED TO INFLATE TIRES. AS I STARTED TO REMOVE THE LEFT REAR TIRE CAP IT THE STEM BLEW OUT IN MY HAND. I CHANGED THE TIRE BUT THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT BLEW OUT THE SECOND STEM THIS TIME ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I SHOT INTO THE CURB. BY THE TIME I GOT IT UP ON THE JACK THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE STEM BLEW AND THE RIGHT REAR STARTED TO LOSE AIR. I HAD TO REPLACE 2 SENSORS. THE RIGHT REAR HAD BEEN REPLACED ALREADY. *TR

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED SO NYS INSPECTION COULD BE PASSED. IN MAY OF 2014 I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS BAD AGAIN & NEEDS A REPLACEMENT BUT THE SHOP CAN'T GET IT BECAUSE THE REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED TO USE CA STANDARDS AND THE UNIT US NOT AVAILABLE. THIS US RESULTING IN UNREASONABLE EXPENSE. *TR

WHILE CONDUCTED AN OIL CHANGE, I NOTICED THAT BOTH RACK AND PINION BOOTS ARE WET WITH POWER STEERING FLUID. THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE STEERING IS ALREADY LEAKING FLUID. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS CHECKED WITH A MECHANIC AS OF YET BUT I IMAGINE THAT AFTER READING COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON OTHER SITES, I WILL END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY TO CORRECT THIS LEAK. A SIMPLE BOOT REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT AS DIRT AND WATER WILL ALREADY HAVE DAMAGED THE ASSEMBLY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HAVING CHRYSLER CONDUCT A RECALL AND REPLACING THESE WITH QUALITY COMPONENTS AT NO EXPENSE TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

THE VAN WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES FROM FLEMINGTON CHRYSLER IN NJ. AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES, THE RACK WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SOON AFTER, THE STEERING SEEMED A LITTLE TIGHT BUT WE CHALKED IT UP TO THE NEW COMPONENTS. FAST FORWARD TO 2012, THE VAN NOW HAS 80,000 MILES AND THE STEERING HAS BEGUN TO WHINE, GROAN AND SHUDDER. I HAVE FLUSHED THE FLUID AND NOW REPLACED THE PUMP. THE WHINE AND SHUDDER ARE STILL THERE SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE RACK HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE VAN CAN EASILY BECOME A SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED. DEFINITELY THE LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I BUY WHICH IS TOO BAD BECAUSE THEY'VE PUT OUT SOME REALLY UNIQUE, GOOD LOOKING CARS LATELY. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THANKS. *TR

DISCOVERED THAT VALVE STEM HAD BROKEN OFF. VALVE STEM IS ATTACHED TO TPMS SENSOR AND REPLACEMENT VALVE STEMS ARE NOT OFFERED. THE BREAKING OF THE VALVE STEMS SEEMS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE UNTIL LATER AND LUCKILY, THE TIRE DID NOT DEFLATE RAPIDLY. *TR

AT 49,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. KNOWING I PROBABLY COULDN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS AT OUR DEALERSHIP, I DECIDED TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE MYSELF. THE CHECK ENGINE CODE READ P0480, A CODE NOTING A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING FAN SYSTEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THE CODE ONLINE, I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT TURNS OUT THE TOWN AND COUNTRY, IN WINTER WEATHER, TENDS TO HAVE COOLING FANS FREEZE UP. AS A RESULT, THE COOLING FAN RELAY WILL BLOW OUT. AS I WAITED FOR MY NEW RELAY TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL ($47 ONLINE, $90 AT YOUR DEALERSHIP) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. THINKING THAT MAYBE THE VEHICLE HAD MADE A CLEAN TRIP, I CHECKED THE COMPUTER AGAIN. P0480 WAS STILL STORED WITHIN. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED MY NEW RELAY VIA MAIL, AND WENT TO INSTALL THE PART. UPON CALLING BROOKDALE LUTHER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO ACQUIRE THE LOCATION OF THE RELAY ON MY VEHICLE, THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE, THOUGH VERY HELPFUL, NOTED THAT CHRYSLER NEW OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD NEED AN UPDATE TO MY VEHICLES COMPUTER ($120). IN RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION WHY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO KNOW WHEN THE FAN MOTOR WAS JAMMED TO TURN THE MOTOR OFF BEFORE BLOWING OUT THE RELAY. SO I COULD KEEP BUYING RELAYS, OR PAY THE $120. MY QUESTION IS THIS. IF CHRYSLER KNOWS OF A PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE TO EVENTUALLY OVERHEAT, WHICH IN SOME CASES COULD CAUSE A FIRE, WHY WOULDN'T THEY ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING VAN IS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. IT FIRST BECAME ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM EARLIER THIS YEAR AND IT WOULD THEN GO OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY DURING OPERATION. THE AIRBAG LIGHT NOW STAYS ON CONTINUALLY WHENEVER I RUN THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO CLEARLY BE DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONTAINED WITHIN CHRYSLER'S "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN J38" AND THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #10V008000/NHTSA ACTION #RQ09003. MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO BUILT WITHIN THE TIME FRAME DESCRIBED WITHIN THIS CAMPAIGN. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS CAN BE AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHERE CHRYSLER CLEARLY ADMITS THAT IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ITS FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS ON THE MAKE AND MODEL FOR THIS 2006 YEAR. ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE IN A REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN. WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR THROUGH STANDING WATER OVER 1 INCH DEEP THE SERPENTINE BELT GETS WET AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY WITH NO WARNING MAKING IT DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ON LINE OF THIS HAPPENING AS WELL AS SERVICE CENTERS SAYING THEY HAVE EVEN SEEN THE VEHICLE THROW THE BELT ONCE IT BEGINS TO SLIP. CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM NOR DOES THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SAY THERE IS A RECALL OF ANY SORT. *TR

TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK, OR ELSE IT WILL BLINK THE OPPOSITE SIDE THAN WHAT IS TURNED ON. *TR

BECAUSE I AM DISABLED I BOUGHT A USED 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LWB ON AUGUST 2, 2010. ON THE WAY HOME THE STEERING FAILED. BECAUSE THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, I TOOK IT TO TWO DEALERS FOR ESTIMATES AND WOUND UP HAVING THE RACK AND PINION AND LOOSE TIE RODS REPLACED ON AUGUST 9, 2010. *TR

I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY A/C UNIT HOWEVER, WHETHER THIS ISSUE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW. I HAD GONE TO TURN MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY OFF WHILE IT WAS IN PARK & IT JUST STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS! I QUICKLY REACHED FOR THE GEAR SHIFT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN PARK BUT IT ALREADY WAS! I THEN WENT TO STEP ON THE BRAKE & IT STILL WOULDN'T STOP! I HAVE TO BELIEVE THIS WAS NOTHING LESS THAN A MAJOR MALFUNCTION OF SOME SORT! THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED ME FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS WAS WHEN MY VAN CRASHED INTO MY FATHER-IN-LAWS TRUCK PARKED SEVERAL FEET BEHIND ME. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HURT, EVEN KILLED SOMEONE HAD THEY BEEN IN THE WAY OF MY VAN ROLLING BACKWARDS! MY 7 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN MY ARMS AS THIS OCCURRED. I HAD SIMPLY REACHED ACROSS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED. I MANAGED TO JUMP ONE LEG ACROSS TO THE DRIVERS SIDE TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE JUST TO FIND OUT IT WASN'T GOING TO STOP THE VAN FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS ANYWAYS! *TR

2006 CHRYSLER T&C: PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN WITH REMOTE OR CONSOLE SWITCH. DRIVER DOOR SWITCH WILL SOMETIMES UNLOCK TO ALLOW MANUAL OPENING. *TR

LEFT FRONT DRIVE AXLE SHAFT BROKE WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY IN DESTIN FLORIDA WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I CAN IMAGINE SEVERAL TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES. THIS VAN IS GENTLY DRIVEN, WELL-MAINTAINED, AND GAVE NO WARNING OF FAILURE BEFORE-HAND. *TR

I STARTED EXPERIENCING A LOUD WHINING SOUND COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA ON AN EXTENDED TRIP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED CHANGING AND FLUSHING AND COMPLETE SERVICE ON TRANSMISSION. WHILE THE WHINING SOUND SUBSIDED SOMEWHAT THE SOUND STILL REMAINED. NOW I COME TO FIND OUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS LEAKING FLUID ALL OVER THE EXHAUST WITH A TERRIBLE AND NAUSEATING ODOR COMING INTO THE CABIN AREA. NOT ONLY IS THIS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD BUT ALSO CAN BE DAMAGING TO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. THE FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM IS PREMATURE AT BEST AND EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AT ITS WORST. *TR

REAR ROTORS DELAMINATED CAUSING SEVERE VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING AND PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY IN VEHICLE LESS THAN 4 YR OLD WITH 42K MILES. I HAVE RETAINED THE ROTORS AND CAN SEND PHOTOGRAPHS IF REQUESTED
