1999 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

PARKED AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. VEHICLE BEHAVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. LET THE CAR IDLE FOR FEW MINUTES, AND CAR OVERHEATED. CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER. *AK *ML

POWER STEERING PUMP MADE A LOUD GROWLING NOISE; ACCOMPANIED BY DIFFICULTLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. UPON CHECKING THE POWER STEERING PUMP RESEVOIR, A LARGE QUANTITY OF METAL FILINGS WAS FOUND. PUMP ASSEMBLY & RACK & PINION ACUTATOR WERE REPLACED.

PLASTIC GAS TANK DEVELOPED A HOLE IN IT WHICH ALLOWED FUEL TO POUR OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE BEING DRIVEN. DEALER HAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. *AK

WE HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN

POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING CAUSING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.

LIGHT ON INTSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT ILLUMINATE BRIGHT ENOUGH, AND IS INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. *AK

I HAVE A CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED 1999 WITH 21,000 MILES. LAST WEEK WHILE PULLING FROM A PARKING LOT. I HEARD A NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND THE CAR STOPPED AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO STEER THE WHEEL. I LOOKED IN THE ENGINE AND I FOUND THE BELT LOOSE AND THE THE BELT TENSION PULLY AND THE BOLT UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER. NOW SEVERAL QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT THIS CAR, WHICH I GOT NO ANSWER FROM THE TECHNICAL MANAGER.

A) THIS FORM IS HORRIBLE -- THERE IS TOO MUCH NON-APPLICABLE INFORMATION. B) I AM A CERTIFIED CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIAN. I RECENTLYT HAVE RUN INTO A PROBLEM WITH THE CINCH PLATES ON THE CHRYSTLER MINIVANS. NAMELY, THEY DON'T CINCH AND THEREFORE REQUIRE THE USE OF A LOCKING CLIP -- THIS RUNS COUNTER TO THE 1996 ACT REQUIRING RESTRAINT SYSTEMS TO BE CSS FREINDLY. PLEASE FEEL; FREE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS.

BRAKES DO NOT HAVE TO BE APPLIED WHEN CHANGING GEARS. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE SHIFT LOCK WHEN FOOT IS ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT ABOUT 35MPH AND NEITHER DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER IS GOING TO INVESTIGATE. *AK

WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP SIGN WHILE ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARD WHILE IN DRIVE UNLESS I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE CONTINUOUSLY. MY FORD VAN AND ESCORT AND MY VOLVO DO NOT DO THIS WHEN ON THE SAME HILLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED, AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME AS I WAS ROLLING BACKWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR. LUCKILY THE OTHER CAR HONKED AND ALERTED ME. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER SALESMAN AND THE DEALER MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT IS THE WAY ALL NEW TRANSMISSIONS ARE. WE THEN TEST DROVE ANOTHER CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT ALSO DID THE SAME THING. THIS CONCERNS ME; IF THE NEW OWNER IS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ROLLING BACKWARD HAZARD THEY ARE AT HIGH RISK OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT.
