2006 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

SURELY AFTER FILLING UP, MY VAN WILL STALL OUT NEARLY STALL OUT. AT TIMES, THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON. AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHT GOES OFF. IT WILL ALSO LURCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY, SOMETIMES STALLING AND SOMETIMES NOT. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ONLY APPEAR JUST AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

WHEN THE WEATHER IS BELOW 80 DEGREES THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A WINING NOISE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE INSIDE. I HAD THE STEERING WHEEL FLUID CHECKED AND IT WAS OK. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN COLDER WEATHER. IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT ~ VAN SLID ON ICE, HITTING A MAILBOX. BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER AIRBAGS EXPLODED WITH A POP-LIKE SOUND, SIMILAR TO GUNFIRE, EMITTING TERRIBLE SMOKE AND SHARP DEBRIS, WHICH SMELLED AS THOUGH THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE. NOTICED SEVERAL HOLES PUNCTURED AS THE AIRBAGS REACHED THEIR MAXIMUM CAPACITY, SHOWING LARGE BURNT-LIKE HOLES. BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN THE CAR. SHE WAS IN PASSENGER'S SEAT, WITH HER BACKPACK IN LAP, WHICH SAVED HER FROM INJURY, THANK GOODNESS! UNFORTUNATELY, MY LEGS WERE PINNED IN VEHICLE, BURNT AND CUT BY THE AIRBAGS & DEBRIS. UPON THE AMBULANCE'S ARRIVAL, WE NOTED THAT MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY BELT NEEDED TO BE CUT, SINCE IT WOULD NOT RELEASE FOR HER AUTOMATICALLY. SHE WAS CLEARED THROUGH THE PARAMEDICS TO HEAD ON TO SCHOOL. THE PARAMEDICS STATED THAT I MAY HAVE BLACKED OUT FOR A BIT, AND FELT THAT I MOST LIKELY HAD WHIPLASH. THEIR OTHER CONCERNS WERE THE MAJOR PAIN IN MY LEFT SHOULDER, AND NOTED THE NEED FOR ME TO BE SEEN BY A DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY. I WAS DRIVEN TO THE HOSPITAL. TO DATE, DEEP BRUISING IS STILL EXTREMELY APPARENT, ALONG WITH BEING PAINFUL. MAJOR SCARING REMAINS ON BOTH LEGS DUE TO BEING BURNT AND CUT. MY SHOULDER AND BACK OF NECK CONTINUE TO THROB, ALONG WITH ACKNOWLEDGMENT THROUGH MY DOCTOR'S REFERRAL, WITHIN CHIROPRACTIC CARE. HE INDICATED THROUGH AN X-RAY, THAT I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE IN THE BACK OF MY NECK, WHICH CAUSES PAIN AND NUMBNESS THROUGHOUT MY RIGHT ARM AND HAND. THE VAN WAS DECLARED TOTALED'. PLEASE NOTE: PICTURES OF BO

VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. FROZEN, NEVER TO TURN AGAIN. OIL LEVELS WERE FINE, OIL CHANGE RELIGIOUSLY. ENGINE BURNED OIL LIKE CRAZY, BUT I WAS AWARE SO I WAS ON TOP OF IT. OUTCOME: NEW ENGINE AT THE COST OF $4000. FAILURE WAS: A PISTON BEARING THAT JUST FELL APART. ENGINES DO NOT FAIL AT 79K UNLESS THEY ARE POORLY BUILT. CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE. *TR

I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IS SUBSTANTIAL. MY WIFE AND SON HAD BOTH MINOR INJURIES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT EVERY TIME THE FUEL WAS REPLENISHED, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS.

HAD JUST FILLED MY GAS TANK AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY HALF A BLOCK IN DISTANCE, WENT TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET AND CAR STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING IN THE TURN. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW PREVIOUS INCIDENTS OCCURRING AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK (SOMETIMES ENGINE SPUTTERS, SOMETIMES STALLS, AND TWICE THE ENGINE REVVED AFTER RESTARTING AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK). *TR

PASSENGER READING LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK AND WENT OUT. I REMOVED COVER AND THE LIGHT SOCKET ASSEMBLY HAD MELTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS,STARTED DRIVING WAS MAKING A TURN AND THE ENGINE CONKED OUT. LUCK WAS WITH ME, AS I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE ON ROAD, SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT INTO DRIVEWAY, TURNED ON RIGHT TURN SIGNAL - INSTEAD OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL COMING ON, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL CAME ON. I TURNED IT BACK OFF AND TRIED ONCE MORE - AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I MADE THE RIGHT AND VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. I COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL, COULD NOT CONTROL STEERING, BUT LUCKILY IT WAS A DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO CRANK THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND MADE IT FURTHER INTO THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. AGAIN LOST STEERING CONTROL. NOW VEHICLE WILL NOT START, SIMPLY TURNS OVER AND CRANKS BUT NO ENGINE STARTING. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND WAS DEPARTING A GAS STATION. IT WAS A LARGE PARKING LOT, SO I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO US-19 IN HOMOSSASSA SPRINGS, FL AND THE ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY. LUCKILY, WE HAD NOT EXITED THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER OUT OF TRAFFIC AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, WITHOUT INJURY, OR ACCIDENT. EVER SINCE THE THIRD OCCURRENCE AND A REVIEW OF ONLINE LITERATURE, WE NEVER COMPLETELY FILL UP THE GAS TANK ANYMORE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS GO ON AND OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE ENVIRONMENT. VERY UNSAFE TO BE HAULING MY FAMILY IN. *TR

HAVE OWNED THIS UNIT FOR OVER 1 YEAR, AFTER PURCHASE IN 2013, NOTED THAT ON FUEL TANK FILL UP, AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION, THE ENGINE WOULD EITHER DIE, OR STUMBLE. POTENTIAL HAZARD AT THE STOP LIGHT PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WOULD ONLY HAPPEN AFTER FULL FILL UP AND NOT EVERY TIME. BEING AWARE OF THIS I COULD PLAN ACCORDINGLY. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE STUMBLE OR DIE HAPPENS WITH THE PURGE SYSTEM ACTIVATION AFTER ENG START AND SHORT DRIVING, IE, LEAVING GAS STATION . IF YOU DO SOME RESEARCH ON LINE YOU WILL FIND THE THREADS THAT LEAD YOU TO THE SAME CONCLUSION. AS A MECHANIC, I DO FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE, AS REPORTED IN THE PRESS, IS AS BIG A PROBLEM IF NOT MORE THAN THE GM KEY RECALL ISSUES. ( I HAVE ONE OF THOSE CARS TOO. ) *TR

AFTER A FILL UP AND DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STALLED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED 2 OR 3 OTHER TIMES RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL AND THEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE FIRST INTERSECTION. WHAT I DISCOVERED IS THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE TANK UNTIL THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A HAZARD AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, THE PROBLEM IS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

WHEN TURNING ON LEFT BLINKER, THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON INSTEAD. SOMETIMES THE LEFT BLINKER DOES NOT STAY ON AND I HAVE TO TURN IT ON AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN TURNING ON THE RIGHT BLINKER, THE LEFT BLINKER COMES ON INSTEAD. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH CHRYSLER. I HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BY REPLACING THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH, HOWEVER I DO FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

ISSUE- DRIVER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING THEN SOMETIMES IT CLOSES VERY SLOWLY THEN STOPS. DURING THE WINTER I OPENED THE WINDOW TO GET GAS AND WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE. SEEN SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. ISSUE 2- AIR CONDITIONER FRONT CONDENSER GETS DAMAGE ALLOT WITH STUFF COMING OFF THE ROAD ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY. CREATES A HOLE AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. 3 TIMES ARE READY THIS HAPPENED. ISSUE 3 - RUST FORMING NEXT TO TAIL PIPE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VAN. RUST SPREADING NOW TO UNDER CARRIAGE OF DOOR. TO MUCH DAMAGED HAS OCCURRED BEFORE NOTICING THE RUST ON THE SIDE. EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL, AND CLOSING THE CAP PROPERLY AND NOT TOPPING OFF, I DROVE AWAY, MADE A LEFT HAND TURN, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, MOSTLY GOING BETWEEN 25-35 MILES/HOUR AND ONE TIME HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EXIT RAMP TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE. *TR

SIDE IMPACT CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE SPUN AROUND APPROXIMATELY 200 DEGREES. TOTAL DAMAGE TO SIDE OF VAN AND SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VERY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN RIDING IN REAR SEATS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ACTIVATE AND THE HIGH BEAMS HAD TO BE USED INSTEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURERS RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP. THE VAN SHUT DOWN. NO BRAKES. NO STEERING. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A 3-4 MORE TIMES AFTER THAT WITH SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN. ON JUNE 12, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ON JUNE 19, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID HE HOOKED IT UP TO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HE DRAINED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND PUT IN NEW FLUID. TODAY, ON 7/29/2014, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE VAN SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO STEERING OR BRAKES AS I WAS TURNING AND ALMOST HIT A CAR ON THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PUT VAN IN PARK AND START IT UP AGAIN. IT SCARED ME SO MUCH I WAS SHAKING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT IS NOT NORMAL. *TR

ISSUE #1: AS I WAS DRIVING ON A RAINY DAY AND WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE, I LOST STEERING CAPABILITY. THE WHEEL JUST STAYED IN THE SAME PLACE THAT I WAS GOING IN...IMAGINE THAT HAPPENING WHILE TRYING TO TURN...ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN...I TOOK IT BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VAN. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT TO GET WORK DONE ON IT....FOR YEARS I TOOK IT IN TO NO AVAIL...THEN AS I MADE 60K MILES I DID A TUNE UP ON MY VAN AND CHANGED THE SERPENTINE BELT EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT NEED IT AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT...MY ISSUE HAD WENT AWAY...I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO BEHIND THE MAKER AND MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE'S NUTS AND BOLTS ARE SECURED ON A NEW VEHICLE! ISSUE #2: THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS A RECALL, BUT LOCAL DEALER WON'T FIX IT, MY DEALER WON'T FIX IT SAYING I PASSED MY 36K WARRANTY MILES WHAT GIVES? I NEED IT FIXED! ISSUE #3: AS I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON A HWY, MY VAN SHUTS OFF STUNDED I DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER TO RESTART AND BE ON MY WAY THIS HAS HAPPENED MAY TIMES IF I HAVE ANYMORE THAT THE VAN KEY IN THE STARTER THEN IT TURNS MY IGNITION OFFI NEED THIS FIXED THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN JUST LIKE FORD AND JUST LIKE THE ONES CHRYSLER HAS JUST RECALLED. *TR

THE SPARE TIRE CARRIERS DO NOT RELEASE THE TIRE. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE A TIRE. THE CABLE RELEASES BUT THE TIRE STAYS UP. YOU HAVE TO LAY ON THE GROUND GET YOUR LEGS UNDER THE CAR WHILE IT IS JACKED UP AND WITH TRY TO KICK THE TIRE LOOSE. VERY DANGEROUS! WE HAVE A FLEET OF DODGE / CHRYSLER MINI VANS MOST HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE. WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE TOYOTA CAMPAIGN I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

DRIVING ON ROAD AT 50 MPH. THE ENGINE JUST JUST OFF. DROVE OFF THE ROAD INTO WOODS LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT. THE CAR THEN STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. I HAD TO REVERSE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAD 3 YOUNG KIDS IN CAR AT THE TIME AS WELL. PUT ME IN A SCARY SITUATION. HAD WORK DONE ON IGNITION SYSTEM, TUNE UP, BELT CHANGES AND A FEW VALVE SENSORS REPLACED. HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR BEFORE WITH MY WIFE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING OVER A SPEED BUMP OR MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,200. UPDATED 10/23/14*CN UPDATED 4/13/2015 *JS

LEFT TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS SELECTED AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON WHEN LEFT TURN IS SELECTED. OCCASIONALLY THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL. ALSO WIPER BLADES WILL NOT TURN ON OCCASION UNTIL ANOTHER ACTION IS SELECTED (SUCH AS A TURN SIGNAL) WHEN THEY DO TURN ON AFTER ANOTHER ACTION IS TAKEN THEY TURN ON AT HIGHEST SPEED AND WILL NOT GO TO THE SPEED I SELECT UNTIL ANOTHER ACTION IS TAKEN(SUCH AS TURN SIGNAL). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER REMOVING THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD BEEPING SOUND. AFTER MAKING SEVERAL ATTEMPS, THE LIGHTS FINALLY TURNED OFF BUT MOMENTS LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LEFT IS ACTIVATED INSTEAD. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED AND CAUSED SING SMOKE TO EMIT FROM THE TIRES.

I HIT A BUMP AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPER CUT ON AND WOULD NOT CUT OFF EVEN WHEN I TURNED THE VAN OFF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER KEPT RUNNING I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSS. WHEN I PUT THE FUSS BACK IN THE WIPER ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL NOW. *TR

CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS. *TR

REPLACED PUMP 4 TIMES WITH NO FIX. *TR

OVER THE YEARS WE'VE LEFT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE BATTERY HAS GONE DEAD. CHRYSLER HAD CHECKED IT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. THE FIRST BATTERY LEAKED AND DESTROYED THE HARNESS, WHICH CHRYSLER PAID PART OF. THE SECOND HAD PARTIAL REPLACEMENT. MY OPINION IS SOMETHING IS WRONG. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AFTER 15 MINUTES, SO THE BATTERY SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE DEAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. WE HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES. WE LEARNED TO TAKE THE KEY COMPLETELY OUT. WE'RE NOT SURE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WE WANT THE PROBLEM DOCUMENTED. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED. SINCE WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS. THE DATES ARE OFF, BUT CHRYSLER KNOWS WHEN WE WHERE THERE. *TR

I AM HEARING A LOUD WHINE. IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND CAN BE HEARD MORE LOUDLY INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAN OUT. IT IS CONSTANT. IT IS USUALLY LOUDER IN COLD WEATHER. IT IS NOT AS LOUD IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING WHEN I HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICE AND ALL FLUIDS ARE TOPPED OFF. LATELY IT HAS BEGAN TO MAKE A BIT MORE OF A GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE IS VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS--NOT SO MUCH AT HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT THEN AGAIN THERE IS MORE ROAD NOISE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IF PARKED AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHINE GETS LOUDER. THE PITCH SEEMS TO CHANGE WITH ENGINE SPEED, NOT MOVEMENT. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK & PINION. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED YET? IF LEFT UNFIXED, THE POWER STEERING CAN FAIL. I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO STEER THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND IT WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A CRASH. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED A WHINE DEVELOPING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT TO BE A BEARING IN ONE OF THE PULLEYS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS A POWER STEERING PUMP OR THE RACK AND PINION. I HAD THE POWER STEERING FLUSHED AND REFILLED BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE WHINE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE RACK AND PINION. AFTER READING THE BLOGS ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING WITH 88000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOME LIGHT FAILED. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SOCKET AND SURROUNDING PLASTIC HAD MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AUX, DVD AND SATELLITE SOUND STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE DRIVING SLIDING DOOR WONT OPEN, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING , THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE DEALER WANTS 110 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT . ANY IDEAS ? *TR

IGNITION SWITCH SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ENGINE STOPS RUNNING. POSSIBLE FROM BUMPS IN ROAD OR BUMPING KEY RING WITH DRIVERS KNEE. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN THREE TIMES. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WITH MY VAN OF IT TOTALLY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING BOTH AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY CHRYSLER AND THEY REPLACED A CAM SHAFT SENSOR TWICE. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS RESTARTS BUT ALL BUT ONE OF THE INCIDENCES WHEN IT SHUT DOWN HAVE LEFT ME/US IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE UNLESS I DO NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A CASE # WITH CHRYSLER OF [XXX]. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS ON VACATION IN FLORIDA 2/14 AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO NOT RESTART AND GO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FOR PERIODS OF TIME AND THEN GOES OFF. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC WHO TOLD US THAT THE FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME DEFECT HOWEVER ARE VIN # WAS NOT AMONG THE VEHICLES RECALLED. IT IS CLEAR THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME DEFECT THAT THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL HAVE. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON OUR OWN AND ARE HOPING THAT BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT, ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT I AM SURE HAVE BEEN FILED, CHRYSLER WILL EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. UNTIL THEN WE ARE TAKING OUR CHANCES DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WE BOUGHT FOR ITS SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT HELD UP THEIR END OF THE DEAL IN PROVIDING GOOD CUSTOMER CARE AND WILL SHOP OTHER MAKERS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF RACK AND PINION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MAP LIGHT FAILED TO FUNCTION AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SOCKETS HAD MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 04/04/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER NO LONGER REPAIRED THE MAP LIGHTS. THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. UPDATED 04/14/2014 *JS

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. THIS VEHICLE WAS FIRST SOLD IN CALIFORNIA, THEREFORE IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY TO THE J38- AIRBAG SENSOR SAFETY BULLETIN. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

FOR 3 MONTHS NOW, EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO STALL AND SPUTTER. THIS HAPPENED ON 2/20/2014 AT 5PM AFTER LEAVING THE FUELING STATION AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THROUGH A HEAVY TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, I LOST POWER STEERING AT A CRITICAL POINT IN THE TURN AND CROSSED ONE LANE AND ALMOST INTO A CONCRETE WALL BEFORE MUSCLING THE STEERING WHEEL INTO A SAFE SPOT TO TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF REPORTS ABOUT A FAILURE WITH THE VAPOR LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE ON THE GAS TANK THAT ALLOW LIQUID TO FILL THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH INTURN SENDS RAW LIQUID FUEL RATHER THAN VAPOR INTO THE ENGINE INTAKE CAUSING AN EXTREMELY RICH MIXTURE CAUSING THE STALLING AND SPUTTERING. THIS IS HAPPENING AFTER EVERY REFUEL AND I AM SEEING HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER DENIED EVER HEARING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TO INQUIRE. APPARENTLY THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. SOUNDS LIKE A VERY UNSAFE DESIGN FLAW TO ME. *TR
