Y CAR ACCELERATES TOO FAST AT CERTAIN TIMES, LIKE AT INTERSECTIONS. IT ACCELERATES TOO QUICKLY THAT MY TIRES SCREECH LIKE I PRESSED THE GAS PETAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE THE BRAKE PRESSED AND THEN PUT MY FOOT ON ACCELERATOR. THIS HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY BUT NOT EVERY TIME. FINALLY, I SHOULD MENTION THAT ALL MY CARS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE WE MOVED AND RENTED A HOUSE FROM MY EX-LANDLORD PAUL, WHO IS A MECHANIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I HAVE A AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN" J-38 AND X-26, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V008000, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ09003. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER ( ROBERT LOEHR ) IN CARTERSVILLE GA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN" BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO TORIE AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR VEHICLE IN THE "SALT BELT" BUT MY VAN'S VIN WAS BUILT IN THE SAME TIME FRAME AS THE DEFECTIVE PART BUT BECAUSE MY VAN VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN SHE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ME TALK TO SOMEONE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. I SPOKE TO EMILY AND SHE STATED THAT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I THEN SPOKE TO HER SUPERVISOR MIKE AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING BUT THAT AFTER I GOT THE REPAIRS MADE TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR AN REIMBURSEMENT. IT SOUNDS TO ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SENSOR BUT THEY ONLY WANT TO REPLACE THE ONES WHERE THERE IT SNOW AND THEY SALT THE ROADS. I LIVE IN NORTH GEORGIA AND WE HAVE SNOW AND THEY SALT THE ROAD PLUS WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL INTO AREA (LIKE ME) WHERE IT SNOWS AND THEY USE SALT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD REPLACE IT NO MATTER WHERE LIVE. IN THE LETTER CHRYSLER SENT TO NHTSA THEY STATE " HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED NHTSA THAT IT WILL PR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHEN USING THE KEY FOB TO OPEN THE TAILGATE, IT OPENED BUT SLAMMED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 01/05/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED IT ONLY HAPPENED IN COLD WEATHER. UPDATED 01/12/17.*JB

PROBLEM STARTED 01/2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES.VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. IF YOU FILL TANK AND PUMP SHUTS OFF THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT, ABOUT 85% OF THE TIME. IT STALLS ANYWHERE FROM 1-3 TIMES. IT HAS STALLED WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC DRIVING AND WHEN I SIT STATIONARY AND WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN BEFORE DRIVING. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. HAD A REPAIR ON IT AT THE DEALER ON 03/17/2011. THEY REPLACED THE EVAP CANISTER. COPY ATTACHED. IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND THEN IT CAME BACK. I'VE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE READ THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. FOR YEARS NOW I'VE BEEN SITTING AT THE PUMP FOR 5 MINUTES AFTER FUELING OR I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP. THE STALLING IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHEN STATIONARY, DRIVING AND TURNING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I WANT TO SELL MY CAR BUT, I'M AFRAID OF GETTING SUED IF THIS DEFECT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER FOR A RECALL. THEY REALLY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS COMMON COMPLAINT. *TR

AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL,(NOT TOPPING OFF),ENGINE WILL STALL IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC.REPLACED FUEL TANK ON 10/28/11,DOING SAME THING AGAIN!CHRYSLER HAS A TSB #14-001-16REV.A DATED 02/25/2016,15K MILES,UNLIMITED MILAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY,BUT NOT THIS VIN#.THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE,MY TECH LINE HAS 3 CASES.CALL [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

FUEL TANK MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, SO VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING BOTH WHILE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS AND AT GAS STATIONS. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER CHRYSLER AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE WITH THE EXISTING RECALL. I HAVE A SECOND TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND I HAVE ATTACHED THAT RECALL LETTER.

MY VAN DIES ON ME WHILE DRIVING AFTER I FILL UP WITH GAS. DOES IT EVERY TIME NOW. I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND AM IN THE STREET AND IT DIES, I RESTART IT AFTER A MINUTE BUT AS I TRAVEL FURTHER INTO TRAFFIC AND SLOW DOWN BEHIND ANOTHER CAR OR A LIGHT IT DIES AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE EACH TIME. I READ OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING AND THAT IT WAS A BAD PART SO I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAID TOUGH, THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS UP. WHEN I ASKED FURTHER THEY HUNG UP ON ME. I LIVE ON A VERY WINDY AND HILLY ROAD WITH ZERO SHOULDER, JUST A MILD TO STEEP DROP OFF INTO TREES. IF I STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ROAD, NO ONCOMING CAR WILL SEE ME IN TIME TO STOP AND THEY CAN'T GO ONTO A NON-EXISTANT SHOULDER. IT WILL BE WORSE WHEN SNOW AND ICE COME. I HAVE KIDS AND NO EXTRA CAR TO USE. IF THIS IS A BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART SHOULDN'T THEY FIX IT OR RECALL IT? I AM CLEARLY NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME THING WITH THE SAME VAN. WHAT CAN I DO? ON THE DATE BELOW WHERE IT ASKS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN I AM PUTTING THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED SINCE I CAN'T PUT A RANGE OF DATES.

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU READ, ITS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. I WAS ON CHAT WITH A REP FROM MANUFACTURER,: CHRYSLER, THIS IS NO RECALL-SEE BELOW:2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY RECALL - #10V008000 RECALL FOR AIR BAGS : FRONTAL : SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 DODGE CARAVAN, GRAND CARAVAN AND CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, TENNESSEE, UTAH, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, ALASKA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. THE FRONT CRASH SENSORS MAY CRACK UNDER CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND ALLOW WATER TO ENTER INTO THE SENSOR. THIS CAN CAUSE THE SENSOR TO BECOME INOPERATIVE AND ILLUMINATE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. THESE SENSORS WERE ADDED TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN CERTAIN FRONTAL CRASHES.

THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WENT OUT ON OUR MINIVAN. THE MECHANIC THAT WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM GAVE US A TENTATIVE QUOTE BASED ON THE LAST CHRYSLER MINIVAN HE REPLACED ONE ON OF $380. WHEN HE CALLED ALL OF HIS NORMAL PARTS DISTRIBUTORS NO ONE CARRIED THEM ANY LONGER. HE THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY QUOTED HIM $570. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO US THAT IT IS ABNORMAL BECAUSE USUALLY PARTS FOR OLDER MODELS BECOME LESS COSTLY, UNLESS YOU HAVE A COLLECTIBLE CAR, AND HE SAID AN 05 T&C IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT A COLLECTIBLE CAR. HE STATED THAT THE DEALER ONLY CARRIES PARTS ON HAND IF THEY ARE USING THEM REGULARLY, WHICH IMPLIES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC STOPPED SHORT OF OUTRIGHT CLAIMING CHRYSLER IS EFFECTIVELY PRICE GOUGING CONSUMERS. THIS IS A MECHANIC WE TRUST & HAVE USED BEFORE, & TRUST HIS FRANKNESS & FRUSTRATION ABOUT THE SITUATION. HE EVEN EXPLAINED THAT HE CAN NOT USE AN USED PART BECAUSE OF PROGRAMMING ISSUES THAT CHRYSLER BUILT IN.

POWER LOCKS DONT WORK. TRIED RESETTING IOD FUSE AND UNPLUGGING BATTERY. LOCKS WORKS A FEW TIMES THEN STOPS WORKING. THIS IS A SAFETY AND SECURITY FEATURE. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. PASSENGER SEAT BELT DOES NOT SET WHEN PUT ON. IF IN AN ACCIDENT PASSENGERS SE AS T BELT WILL NOT RESTRAIN. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS VAN AND THE TWO PREVIOUS OWNERS SAID LOCKS HASN'T WORKED CORRECTLY SINCE 2005.

VAN WAS SITTING STILL AND WENT TO START. LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATION CAME FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. POPPED HOOD AND FOUND ALTERNATOR BROKE LOOSE FROM MOUNTINGS. ALTERNATOR MOUNTING ON THE TIMING CHAIN COVER BROKE OFF. TOOK TO SHOP TO GET REPAIR EVALUATED. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE MODIFIED THE TIMING CHAIN COVER FROM ORIGINAL DESIGN. THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES NEW TIMING SPROCKETS AND CHAINS. POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW IN ORIGINAL DESIGN? REPAIR IS ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE VEHICLE CURRENT VALUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT, THE KEY FOB FAILED TO LOCK THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY. IN ADDITION, THE POWER DOOR SWITCH FAILED TO LOCK THE DOORS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS WORKING CORRECTLY AND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

POSSIBLE TAKATA RECALL. DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION - DID NOT DEPLOY. UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME AS TO THE SPECIFIC MECHANICAL PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN THIS ACCIDENT. ACCIDENT: DRIVER OF (VEHICLE NO.2) WAS DRIVING A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ON HIGHWAY WHEN HE WAS HIT ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE/REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE REPORT STATES THAT VEHICLE NO. 1 WAS CHANGING LANES AND HIT VEHICLE NO. 2 CAUSING HIM TO LOSE CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE. AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT FROM VEHICLE NO. 1, VEHICLE NO. 2 CRASHED INTO A MEDIAN WALL AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL TO TREAT HIS INJURIES. SEE POLICE REPORT. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT CAUSING GREAT INJURY TO THE DRIVER OF VEHICLE NO. 2. PLEASE SEE PHOTO OF THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE IS SHOWS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY. THE UNSAFE CONDITION WAS THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT THEREBY CAUSING THE DRIVER OF VEHICLE NO. 2 TO INCUR INJURIES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED AS IT WAS EXPECTED TO. IT IS NOTED ON THE POLICE REPORT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

AIRBAG SHOWED AS FAILED UPON STARTING MY MINIVAN. TOOK THE VAN TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND I ORDERED NEW SENSORS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V008000, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ09003. AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WASN'T ON RECALL, IF IT WAS ADDED THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW. I AM TRYING TO GET MAY CAR ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. INTERNET CHAT AS FOLLOWS: [XXX]: HI, MY NAME IS [XXX]. HOW MAY I HELP YOU? [XXX]: HELLO [XXX].

I HAD A FLAT ON MY MINI VAN. WHILE TRYING TO LOWER THE SPARE TIRE I FOUND IT STUCK IN PLACE. THE SAFETY CATCH WILL NOT RELEASE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCESS THE SPARE WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY BY CRAWLING UNDER THE VAN. IF THIS HAD BEEN MY WIFE AND HAD I NOT BEEN AT HOME WHEN I FOUND THE FLAT THIS COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A LIFE THREATINING ORDEAL. WHY ISN'T ANYONE ADDRESS IN THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE.

2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY, 96,000 MILES, LOSES POWER AND STEERING LOCKS WHEN DRIVEN THROUGH ANY WETNESS. THE VAN IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. NO ONE CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN WHAT IS CAUSING IT THEREFOR THERE IS NO RELIABLE REPAIRS. IT COULD JUST BE LIGHT RAIN AND NO PUDDLES BUT EXPOSURE TO WETNESS SEEMS TO BE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR. IT HAS OCCURRED TURNING LEAVING OUR DRIVEWAY, I LANDED ON MY NEIGHBORS LAWN AND IT HAS OCCURRED AT 50 MPH AND CAUSED ME TO DRIFT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ONE AND THE RADIO SHUTS OFF WHEN IT HAPPENS. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS BUT THE DISCUSSIONS OUT ON THE INTERNET TELL A VERY DIFFERENT STORY. IF WE COULD HAVE A CLEAR RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO FIX THIS IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I HOPE MY FAMILY DOES NOT DIE IN THIS VAN, OR GOODNESS FORBID WE HURT SOMEONE ELSE. WE HAVE FEW OPTIONS FINANCIALLY AND NO CERTAINTY TO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. WE CANNOT REPLACE EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD AND HOPE THIS GOES AWAY, ONLY TO FIND OUT WHEN WE ARE DRIVING SOMEWHERE WE CANNOT GET THE VAN OUT OF THE PATH OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP.

HI, I WAS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS RUST THOUGH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENDER WELLS IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRES. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON MANY OTHER MINIVANS ON THE ROAD AND BELIEVE IT TO BE A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURE. PIECES OF THE VAN FELL OFF , THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THESE VANS AGE.. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ISSUED?

THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND WARNING CHIME IS HEARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL WHILE IN MOTION, AT ANY SPEED. HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, TURNING INTO A BANK PARKING LOT AND ANOTHER TIME WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION. TOOK THE VAN INTO A REPAIR SHOP, MECHANIC SAID BELT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AND TENSION ON BELT WAS FINE, DIDN'T NEED REPLACING. HE HAD NO OTHER EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS WOULD OCCUR. HAS HAPPENED TO US ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW. AFRAID TO DRIVE VAN WHEN IT IS WET OUTSIDE.

I BEGAN HAVING THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT AS THE 2004-5 DODGE VANS HAVE WITH REGARD TO STALLING ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER A FILL UP. IT HAS HAPPENED AT EVERY FILL UP SINCE DECEMBER 2015, AND SPORADICALLY BEFORE, BUT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE SOURCE OF THE STALLING. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY VAN WAS MADE IN THE WINDSOR (AFFECTED PLANT) ON 6-10-2005 BUT THAT THE RECALL/REPAIR SHUT OFF IN APRIL, I BELIEVE. IT SEEMS TOO BIG A COINCIDENCE TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS SINCE ON SOME TRIPS, I AM ON THE INTERSTATE GETTING GAS AND GET BACK ON WHEN THE STALL OCCURS. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR ME? IT HAS BEEN OCCURING EVER SINCE DECEMBER, THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED, AT LEAST THAT IS WHEN IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITHOUT LETUP.

VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE AFTER EACH USE. FUEL IS VISIBLY LEAKING AT THE FUEL LINE CONNECTION TO THE FUEL TANK. THE VIN SEARCH COMES UP WITHOUT RESULTS BUT THE MAKE/MODEL SEARCH LISTS A FUEL LINE RECALL. WHAT GIVES?

THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING IN BOCA RATON, FLORIDA ON FEBRUARY 12, 2016. SERVICE MANAGER AT MASSEY YARDLEY DENIED EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE FAULTY HEADLIGHT SWITCH. CASE MANAGER, LAURA DENIED EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH.

WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL ROAD AT NIGHT, SHORTLY AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND DISABLING WINDSHEILD WIPERS: THE HEADLIGHTS AND ENTIRE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. PULLING BACK ON THE BLINKER LEVER AND HOLDING IT BACK ACTIVATED THE BRIGHTS AND THOSE WORKED. AFTER TOGGLING HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHTS REACTIVATED. THIS FAILURE MODE DOESN'T EXACTLY MATCH EA11010, WHICH CLAIMS THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS IN OPERATION WHILE ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL. HOWEVER I AM UNCLEAR ON WHETHER MY VAN'S PROBLEM COULD STILL BE AT LEAST PARTLY CAUSED BY THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, SO I WILL REPLACE IT AT MY OWN COST. MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE SWITCH UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND OTHERWISE THEY WILL CHARGE A $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE... MORE THAN THE COST OF THE SWITCH! I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT TRICK! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DECISION TO NOT RESOLVE EA11010 WITH A RECALL. HEADLIGHTS FAILING WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS TOO INTERMITTENT TO DIAGNOSE ON DEMAND. THUS A RECALL IS THE ONLY APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO ENSURE SAFETY. INSTEAD, IN ORDER TO PROACTIVELY PROTECT MY FAMILY, I AM FORCED TO SPEND MY OWN MONEY FOR REPLACEMENT. I THOUGHT THE NHTSA WAS HERE TO HELP?

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER TO VARYING DEGREES ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SOMETIMES CAUSES THE ENGINE TO DIE WHILE CAR IS IN TRANSIT THEREBY CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO IS A DANGER AND ANNOYANCE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT NIGHT. SEVERAL ENTITIES HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING ATTEMPTS BY MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL ONGOING AS OF 2-16-16 AND BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2007.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASH KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN GOING OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED 4 TIMES AND EACH TIME NOT AT A VERY CHEAP PRICE. YET THERE STILL SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR. THIS COMES ON RIGHT AFTER START UP OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN GOES ON AND OFF AS YOU DRIVE.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS AN ISSUE: THE SASH AND ENGINE TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN. WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN, ALL THE LIGHTS, MILEAGE DISPLAY, DRIVE SELECTOR, AND RADIO RESETS TO IT DEFAULT. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH NEEDLES GO TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED SO THAT I CAN PUT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART THE ENGINE.

STALLING AFTER REFUELING BEGAN ON OUR VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. TODAY, WITH MY SON IN THE VAN, IT STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY 610 GARRISIONVILLE, STAFFORD VA.. THE DANGER WAS THAT I WAS ON A TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TURN IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND MY HOPE IS THAT CHRYSLER MAKES GOOD ON A DEFECTIVE PART.

I JUST PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER GETTING RECALL R03 PERFORMED AT FOWLER DODGE IN OKLAHOMA CITY. I HAD NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM THAT WAS STATED IN THE RECALL BUT WAS ADVISED TO GET IT FIXED ANYWAY. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 07/27/15 AT APPROX. 1800 HRS. I HIT A BUMP AND THE KEY FOB WENT TO THE OFF POSITION LEAVING ME WITH OUT POWER STEERING , BRAKES, AND ENGINE. THAT IS WHAT THE RECALL WAS SUSPOSE TO FIX. THE ONE PROBLEM I HAD NEVER HAD WITH THE VEHICLE, NOW I AM HAVING IT AFTER THE RECALL.

FREQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED, LESS THAN 30 AND YOU ARE MAKING A TURN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. NORMALLY IT WILL GO BACK OFF IN LESS THAN 20 SECONDS. I WAS ADVISED THERE IS A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT ON TOWN AND COUNTRY'S FROM OTHER YEARS WAS A RECALL ITEM. IN SEARCHING MY PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTED INCIDENCES OF THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. COST TO FIX IS APPROXIMATELY $400.00. THIS ISSUE HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AN APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY....UPDATED 10/27/15 *BF
