2005 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

AFTER FILL UP, VEHICLE STALLS, THE ENGINE CUTS OFF AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED FIRST ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP AND CAUSED SOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE GAS STATION AND MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGULARLY FROM THE FIRST INSTANCE IN 2011. WHEN FUELING, THE VAN IS NEVER OVER FILLED; WE FILL UNTIL THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS GENERATION OF MINIVANS AS REPRESENTED IN ONLINE FORUMS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY USED. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE VAN STALLS OR NEARLY STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME WE'VE FILLED UP THE VAN WITH GAS. CAR STALLS OR NEARLY STALLS WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION OR VERY SOON AFTER. CAR RESTARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR IN THE FUEL TANK. MANY, MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANKS. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY VAN WITH GAS, IT STALLS. I WILL LEAVE THE STATION, AND WITHIN THE FIRST MILE, THE CAR SPUTTERS AND STALLS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND THE DATES/MILEAGE ABOVE ARE ESTIMATES. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I TAKE MY VAN, BUT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO SUGGEST. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE, I FOUND A SITE WHERE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND DECIDED TO REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA SO THAT YOU CAN GET A MORE ACCURATE COUNT OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE REACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TURNED THE LIGHTS ON AS IT WAS GETTING DARK WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN ON HIGH BEAMS IT WAS IF HEADLIGHTS WERE BARELY ON. ALSO THE LEFT FRONT BLINKER FAILED ALTHOUGH THE BACK BLINKER DID WORK BUT FLASHED EXTREMELY FAST. REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND STILL HAVE TO USE HEADLIGHTS ON BRIGHT TO SEE AS IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON DIM. THE LEFT FRONT BLINKER AND SIDE LIGHT FAILED WITHIN A MONTH OF REPLACEMENT. WHEN REPLACED AGAIN, THERE WAS NO CHANGE. THE BLINKER/SIDE LIGHT FAILED TO OPERATE. *TR

HAD JUST FILLED GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT OF GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC. VAN BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALLED IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES FIGURED OUT NOT TO FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY. A COUPLE OF TIMES ALMOST GOT HIT FROM THE REAR. *TR

MY VAN FREQUENTLY STALLS OUT, AND IT'S PARTICULARLY LIKELY TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUEL REFILL, ESPECIALLY IF I FILL UP THE TANK. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK, LEAVING ME STALLED OUT AT A STOPLIGHT FOR A FEW MINUTES. SOMETIMES, TOO, IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED BY ACTING AS IF THE ENGINE IS FLOODED AND THEREFORE, IT WON'T START. IF I LET IT SIT AND DON'T ATTEMPT TO START IT FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, IT GENERALLY STARTS RIGHT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS, BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN OF THE EXACT DATE OF THE FIRST INSTANCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND THE FUEL CAP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,783. UPDATED 10/22/14*CN UPDATED 4/8/2015 *JS

I HAVE POWER STEERING NOISE ON MY T&C 2005 CHRYSLER VAN. IT USED TO COME INITIALLY ON COLD START AND LATER IT IS COMMON EVEN ON HOT DAYS AND THE NOISE IS CONTENTIOUS WHEN EVER I TURN THE WHEEL. IT LOOKS IT IS MANUFACTURE ISSUE AND NEVER RECALLED FROM CHRYSLER AS I SEE LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 (NA) BABY TREND FLEX-LOC REAR FACING INFANT SEAT. THE SEAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON FEBRUARY 1, 2012 AND LOCATED IN A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LATCH BUTTON THAT SECURES THE CHILD SEAT TO THE BASE WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CHILD SEAT WAS NOT REPLACED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN...UPDATED 09-23-14 *BF UPDATED 10/02/14

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY IS TURNED ON. TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF/ON SOMETIMES RESTORE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AS THE TIME GOES ON. WE CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN NJ AND WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR ISSUES WITH OUR VIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WINDOW EXPLODED WHILE CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 280,000.

AFTER ABOUT FIVE YEARS, THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR HAS SLOWLY DETERIORATED. IT HAS TURNED BROWN, REFLECTS DOUBLE OBJECTS, AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT PAY FOR. WE WOULD LIKE A NEW MIRROR. *JS

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATES ON/OFF CONSTANTLY. CAME ON/OFF 38 TIMES ON A RECENT 160 MILE TRIP TO ST. JOE, MO. IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. *************************************** SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ALSO COMES ON SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY. *TR

WHENEVER WE FILL UP WITH GAS, SHORTLY AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE STATION THE ENGINE STALLS. SOMETIMES SOONER THAN LATER BUT SOMETIMES WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT WHEN THE STALL HAPPENS IS UNPREDICTABLE. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES LIFE. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS AND MAYBE THERE IS A REPAIR WITH THIS BUT NONE ARE DEFINITE AND VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP WITH ANY INFO. *TR

CAR STALLED OUT WITHOUT WARNING AT 55 TO 60MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS,FULL FUEL,NO BLOWN FUSES. COASTED TO EMERGENCY LANE. RESTARTED VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR PROBLEMS. HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS. *TR

I WAS INFORMED TODAY BY THE MECHANIC AT MONROE MUFFLER THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PUT HIS FINGERS THROUGH THE FRAME. THERE ARE ACTUALLY LARGE HOLES THROUGH THE FRAME. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE HOLES ON THE FRAME (REAR RIGHT SIDE). THE LEFT REAR FRAME WAS NEARLY AS BAD. WHEN TOYOTA HAD A FRAME RUST/ROT ISSUE ON THE TACOMA AND THE TUNDRA, TOYOTA EITHER REPLACED THE FRAME OR BOUGHT BACK THE VEHICLE AT 1 1/2 TIMES THE KBB RETAIL VALUE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I WAS PLANNING ON DRIVING THIS ANOTHER FEW YEARS, HOWEVER IT WON'T PASS NYS INSPECTION WITH THE FRAME RUST THROUGH. WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD COMPLETE WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WERE MANY CLOSE CALLS INCLUDING ALMOST BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. SHAKEN, I CALLED THE CAR AGENCY EVERY TIME I HAD AN EXPERIENCE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AFTER EACH INCIDENT BOTH IN NJ AND IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ON EVERY OCCASION, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND NO ERROR CODES WERE PRODUCED FROM THE COMPUTER. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR BULLETINS, AND DEMANDED THAT A CHRYSLER REP. REVIEW THE COMPLAINTS, TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE SINCE TRADED IN THE VEHICLE FOR A KIA BUT FEEL COMPELLED TO REPORT THIS AFTER READING REPORTS ABOUT THIS FOR CARS 2007-2009. THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS FURTHER BACK THAN BEING REPORTED. *TR

IN THE RAIN OR WHEN THERE IS STANDING WATER ON THE ROAD, THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS, AND OFTEN WHILE LOWING DOWN OR TURNING. THE POWER STEERING WILL STOP TEMPORARILY AND YOU LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AS WELL WHILE SHE WAS TURNING IN TRAFFIC. THE POWER STEERING WILL START WORKING AGAIN USUALLY IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS STANDING WATER IN THE ROAD DURING OR JUST AFTER MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS. PLEASE ADVISE IS ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS DEFECT? *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN/COUNTRY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AFTER MY HAND/PURSE RAN INTO THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I COASTED TO A STOP. LUCKILY, SINCE IT WAS ON A SIDE STREET WITH NO ONE BEHIND ME I WAS ABLE TO REMAIN CALM, PUT IT INTO PARK AND STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THEN. I HAVE MADE SURE TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD ON MY KEYCHAIN, ONLY HAVING 2 KEYS AND NOTHING ELSE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH!!! THAT IS WHY I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT. THE KEY SURELY SHOULD HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE BUILT INTO IT THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN AND IN GEAR (DRIVE). A SIMPLE BUMP SHOULD NOT MAKE THAT KEY MOVE INTO A NON-DRIVABLE POSITION. I THINK A DEFECT LIKE THIS COULD INDEED CAUSE A FATAL CRASH AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. MY DEALERSHIP ASSURES ME ALL MY RECALLS ARE UP TO DATE. *TR

TOOK TOWN&COUNTRY FOR OIL CHANGE. WHILE TECH DOING SAFETY CHECK, RECOMMENDED 2 TWO TIRES. WHILE ON THE LIFT HE NOTICED THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING POSSIBLY AT THE SEALS. RECOMMENDED REPLACING RACK AND PINION AT A COST OF OVER $700. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND 2005/2006 YEARS. THERE IS A LOT OF POSTED DOCUMENTATION ON THE WEB TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. *TR

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WHILE PARKED. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND AIR VENTS WITH A BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. GOT OUT OF CAR TO CHECK UNDER HOOD AND AIRBAG DEPLOYED. TURNED THE KEY OFF AND FOUND A FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX HAD MELTED. CAR WOULD THEN START, BUT DIE WITHIN SECONDS. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND RADIO WOULD NOT WORK, BUT THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONTAL SENSOR CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V008000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000. UPDATED 7/22/14*CN

MY POWER LOCKS DO NOT WORK WITH THE FOB OR WITH THE INSIDE POWER LOCK BUTTON. I'VE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY MAKING ME MORE ANGRY. THE DOOR LOOKS ARE A PRETTY BASIC FEATURE OF A VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT PEOPLE DON'T NORMALLY BUY MINIVANS UNLESS THEY HAVE KIDS ETC. WE HAVE 3 KIDS AND NOT HAVING THIS DOOR LOCK FEATURE IS RIDICULOUS. BY THE WAY, IT MAKES THE AUTOMATIC OPENING DOORS PRETTY USELESS, BC THEY WON'T UNLOCK! *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I HAD NO POWER WHATSOEVER. WAS UNABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE THE VEHICLE. THE VAN ROLLED THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND STOP LIGHT BEFORE STOPPING COMPLETELY. IT WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES BEFORE I COULD START IT UP AGAIN. NOW I DO NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. FEEL LIKE I HAD A BRUSH WITH DEATH. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFOREHAND, ALL LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE STOPPING WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I PURCHASED NEW BULBS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS BUT SUDDENLY ALL OF THE LIGHTS STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. *TR

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SUDDEN POWER FAILURES. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE MOBILE WITH A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OR BEEN REAR ENDED. INTERNET RESEARCH HAS NOTED THAT DEALERS HAVE DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAPORATOR VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *TT

POWER LOCKS ON THE BACK SLIDING DOORS DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO PULL THE LOCK UP VERY HARD FROM ONE SIDE AS I PULL ON THE HANDLE ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. IF THEIR WAS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL. I WAS LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND THEIR ARE PAGES OF COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *JS

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THE ENGINE QUIT. PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. ALWAYS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, BUT NOT AT EVERY REFILL. CHECKING ON LINE INDICATES THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND THE SOLUTION IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK, APPEARS THAT A VALVE IS ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER A FILTER WHICH IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE SHUT OFF ALL FUNCTIONS, STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. ONCE STOPPED PLACED VAN INTO PARK. AFTER STOPPING, VAN STARTED. SAME EVENT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN A MILE 5 DRIVE. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OF THE PRIOR 2-3 YEARS. WE BOUGHT THE VAN USED AND THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE PURCHASED. IN THE RAIN OR WHEN THERE IS STANDING WATER ON THE ROAD, THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS, AND OFTEN WHILE LOWING DOWN OR TURNING. THE POWER STEERING WILL STOP TEMPORARILY AND YOU LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE TWICE WHILE SHE WAS TURNING IN TRAFFIC. THE POWER STEERING WILL START WORKING AGAIN USUALLY IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS STANDING WATER IN THE ROAD DURING OR JUST AFTER MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS. WE TOOK OUR VAN TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. I HAVE READ O N THE CHRYSLER FORUM WHERE OTHERS HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP, PULLEYS, BELTS, ETC. AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AT 60MPH. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. COASTED TO A STOP. ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN. NO INTERRUPTION WITH ELECTRICAL POWER. LIGHTS AND RADIO STILL ON. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE ENGINE JUST TURNING OFF. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES. AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL IN THE GAS MY TOWN AND COUNTRY WILL STALL AFTER DRIVING A MILE OR SO. COMPLAINED TO DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ALWAYS SUGGESTED FUEL INJECTION SERVICE. ON THIS DATE HOWEVER MY VAN COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING SOON AFTER I FILLED MY GAS TANK. TOOK TO THE DEALER (IT LATER STARTED WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON) AND THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS WITH CABLE AND DID FEW MORE THINGS. IT STILL DOES THE SAME. SOON AFTER PUTTING IN GAS IT STALLS/SHUTS OFF. HAD TO WAIT AND START AGAIN. AFTER THAT NEVER GIVES ANY TROUBLE UNTIL TIME TO PUT IN THE GAS. *TR

VAN LOOSES 1 QUART OF OIL APPROXIMATELY EVERY 700 TO 1000 MILES, I AM HAVING TO PUT IN 3 TO 4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB YET CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE LOOSING THIS MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECTIFY AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: FILLED UP LOW GAS TANK AT A GAS STATION. HOPPED IN THE CAR, STARTED IT, AND DROVE OFF. ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER, THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT STARTED UP AGAIN A MOMENT LATER. SECOND INCIDENT: SAME AS THE FIRST INCIDENT, ONLY A WEEK LATER. EMPTY TANK, FILLED IT UP, SHUT OFF ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. THIRD INCIDENT: SAME AS FIRST TWO FORTH INCIDENT: THIS CONTINUES, OCCURRING EVERY TIME NOW. *TR

WHILE INFLATING TIRES FOR A CUSTOMER THE TPMS VALVE STEM SENSOR BROKE AND DEFLATED THE TIRE. *TR

NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF . ALL BUT TWO TIMES THEY CAME BACK ON. THE LAST TWO THEY DID NOT COME ON UNTIL SHUTTING THE SWITCH OFF AND TURNING BACK ON. ALL WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS . CHRYSLER DEALERS HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS HOWEVER IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED PRIOR TO SOMEONE GETTING KILLED . I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT . *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STALLED ON THE ROAD. ALL THE ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS OF MY MINI VAN I.E. THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING WHEEL WERE DISABLED AND I HAD TO PULL IT ON THE SIDE. IT WAS THANKSGIVING DAY SO THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS TO AVOID ANY COLLISION FROM THE CAR THAT WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME. THE NEXT DAY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY DID SEVERAL THINGS THAT COSTS TOTAL OF $700. BUT NEXT TIME I FILLED UP THE TANK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT ONLINE TO GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN. IT DOES POSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SOME EXTENT. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER BUT THEY TOTALLY IGNORED THIS. THE FIX TO THIS PROBLEM IS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK...A BIG EXPENSE. *TR

PROBLEM: I BOUGHT A NEW DODGE CARAVAN IN 2005, HAD A FLAT TIRE, AND THERE WAS NOT A SPARE TIRE UNDERNEATH THE VAN. I HAD NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THIS VAN, SO WHY WAS THERE NOT A SPARE TIRE OR SPARE TIRE COVER UNDERNEATH MY CAR?) I HAD TO LITERALLY GET DOWN ON MY HANDS AND KNEES USING A CELLPHONE LIGHT TO SEE UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR TO DETERMINE WHY THE SPARE WOULD NOT LEASE. WE HAD NEVER HAD A FLAT IN THIS VAN BEFORE AND WE BOUGHT IT NEW AT HAYES CHRYSLER IN OAKWOOD, GEORGIA IN 2005. THE REASON I COULD NO GET THE SPARE TIRE TO RELEASE WAS BECAUSE I FINALLY DISCOVERED, THERE WAS NO SPARE TIRE NOR TIRE COVER IN THE SPARE TIRE STORAGE COMPARTMENT UNDERNEATH MY VAN. MY SON AND I WERE STRANDED AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00 PM AT NIGHT ON THE SIDE OF I78 NEAR FULTON, MS. NOT ONLY DID I, A WIFE AND MOM, HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, BUT HAD TO KEEP MY SON CALM. HE WAS UNSURE ABOUT SAFETY. LATER, WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY OFFERED NO HELP. AFTER I FIRST DESCRIBED THE EVENTS THAT HAD TAKEN PLACE WITH MY HAVING A FLAT AND NO SPARE TIRE, THE HAYES CHRYSLER EMPLOYEE SAID, "THAT TIRE WAS STOLEN!" I REPLIED, "EXACTLY AND WE GET OUR CAR SERVICED AT YOUR DEALERSHIP SO CHECK YOUR RECORDS AND SEE WHO WORKED ON MY VAN." NEEDLESS TO SAY, AFTER CHECKING WITH A MANAGER THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY SAID THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED AN INSPECTION ON THE CAR WHEN THE CAR WAS BOUGHT (INFERRING THAT A SPARE WAS ON THE CAR). TO REPLACE THE SPARE TIRE AND TIRE COVER THE DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO

THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF EVERY WEEK TELLING ME ONE OF MY TIRES IS LOW. IT IS NOT JUST ONE TIRE. 3 OF THEM SEEM TO BE LOSING AIR FROM THE VALVE STEM AND I HAVE TO REFILL THEM EVERY WEEK. IT SEEMS THE STEM IS MADE OF ALUMINUM AND CORRODES EASILY. THEY BECOME BRITTLE AND CAN BREAK EVEN FROM WASHING THE CAR OR JUST CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE ACCORDING TO T&C OWNERS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY POWER DOOR LOCKS & RADIO/DVD PLAYER INOPERATIVE. THE POWER LOCKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS. PULLING THE 20A IOD FUSE AND REINSERTING IT AFTER 10 MINUTES OR PULLING THE CABLE OFF OF THE BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES ***HAS NOT*** FIXED THE PROBLEM SO FAR. VAN IS CURRENTLY IN SHOP AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FUSE BOX MODULE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

PURCHASED DOUGLAS XTRA TRACK II TIRES AT WAL-MART IN AUGUST 2011. ONE WEEK TO THE DAY LATER WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THE TIRES ONE BLEW OUT. COMPLETE FAILURE RIPPED THE MIDDLE TREAD BLEW APART. MY DAUGHTER WITH A LEARNERS PERMIT WAS DRIVING AND THANKFULLY AT A SLOW SPEED OF ABOUT 40 MPH. RETURNED THE CAR TO WAL-MART. THEY DID NOT WARRANTY THE TIRE BUT DID REPLACE IT UNDER THE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED. TWO OF THE REMAINING TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT CREASES ON THE SIDE WALLS. THE MGR. SAID THAT IS NORMAL WHERE THE TIRE IS PUT TOGETHER. ALL 3 TIRES WERE LOW (1 WEEK AFTER INSTALL NO OFF ROAD). THEY AIRED THEM UP AND REPLACED THE BLEW TIRE AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY ON THE NEW TIRE. THE TIRES BOUNCE, THEY LOSE AIR CONSTANTLY, I AIR THEM UP WEEKLY. I HAVE ASKED REPEATEDLY ABOUT THE WEDGES IN THE SIDE WALLS WHICH ARE GETTING WORSE. I AM TOLD IT IS NORMAL AND I MAY WANT TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES FOR A SMOOTHER RIDE (BOUNCE). THEY RE-BALANCE AS OFTEN AS MY ROAD WARRANTY ALLOWS AND THAT IMPROVES BOUNCING USUALLY FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE PURCHASED AT WAL-MART. ON YOUR SITE I SEE AT LEAST 17 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE BUT NO INVESTIGATIONS. I GUESS THAT SPEAKS TO WHO WAL-MART HAS IN THEIR POCKET. THESE TIRES ARE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I AM SURE THEY HAVE CAUSED SOME. ACCORDING TO WAL-MART THE SEPARATION OF TREADS ARE A ROAD HAZARD SO I AM SURE ACCIDENTS ARE CHALKED UP TO BAD ROADS, NOT

I WAS DRIVING AT 35MPH, THEN I SLOWED DOWN TO 20MPH TO CROSS OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS. AS I WAS CROSSING THE TRACKS, THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED, THEN CLOSED. (THE DOORS ARE REMOTE CONTROL DOORS.) THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. I WAS TALKING TO A FEW PEOPLE ABOUT THIS SITUATION, TO COME TO FIND OUT, THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
