2006 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

THE SEATBELTS OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY DO NOT LOCK. THE DEALER TOLD ME WHEN I PURCHASED THAT THEY WOULD IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN CAME TO A QUICK STOP. TODAY ME AND MY THREE CHILDREN WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY DID NOT LOCK. MY OLDEST IS NO LONGER IN A CAR SEAT OR BOOSTER AND WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT WHICH DID NOT KEEP HER IN PLACE THE SAME WITH MY MIDDLE GIRL WHO IS IN A HIGH BACK BOOSTER SEAT WEARING A REGULAR SEAT BELT LUCKILY MY YOUNGEST WAS IN A REGULAR CAR SEAT WITH A HARNESS. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT NOBODY GOT SERIOUSLY HURT BUT IT REALLY DOES SCARE ME THAT THESES SEAT BELTS ARE NOT DOING THERE JOB! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY MINI VAN WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE REAR PANEL WINDOW EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THE WINDOW WAS GONE. I PULLED OVER OUT SHEAR FEAR AND A TRUCK WITH TWO MEN FOLLOWING BEHIND ME WITNESSED THE EXPLOSION AND PULLED OVER AS WELL TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK. THEY REMARKED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS WAS IN 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD WINDOW REPLACED. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 5/20/2011. CLOSE TO 4 YEARS LATER WITH ABOUT 79,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, MY DAD BEHIND ME AND MY CHILD IN THE FAR BACK SEAT. THE SAME WINDOW EXPLODED, AGAIN SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THE WINDOW EXPLODED AND MY CHILD SEATED IN THE FAR BACK BUT LUCKILY SEATED BY THE LEFT SIDE REAR PANEL COVERED HER HEAD AND FACE FROM THE EXPLOSION. THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS NOT NEXT TO THE WINDOW THAT EXPLODED. IN BOTH CASES WHEN THAT SAME WINDOW EXPLODED THERE WAS NO TYPE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS HAPPENING. JUST QUIET CALM DAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THEY HAVE NO OTHER RECORD OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER MINI VANS. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY IS SAYING JUST TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS RESOLUTION FOR I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG AND IT IS NOT SAFE. I WORRY ABOUT OTHER FAMILIES AND THEIR TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VANS ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS WHERE MOST CHILDREN SIT. I DO NOT TRUST THAT WINDOW NOW. *TR

STEERING RACK AND PINS. I OWN A 2006 TOWN & COUNTRY AND TOOK IT IN FOR 19 POINT CHECK UP AND HEARD WHINING WHEN TURNING ON THE VAN. TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING. INFORMED BY DEALER THIS IS A MAJOR THING GOING ON IN THESE VEHICLES. DID RESEARCH ON LINE TO FIND OVER 2,000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. COST OVER $900.00. THIS SHOULD SERIOUSLY BE LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE IF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS MANY PROBLEMS. *TR

CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING VAN HAS 99,000 MILES AND ORDERED NEW GRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS ALONG WITH CERAMIC BRAKE PAD FOR FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN FIVE YEARS I HAD TO REPLACE WARPED ROTORS AND PADS. TOLD BY AUTOZONE REP THAT ALL CHRYSLER VANS AND JEEP HAVE INFERIOR BRAKE DESIGN CAUSING UNUSUAL AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE PULLING INTO THE WATABURGER (FAST FOOD JOINT) OFF MARBAUCH ROAD AT ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR, THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM OF THE STEERING MECHANISM BASICALLY EXPLODED. THEY HAD ALMOST NO CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION THE VEHICLE WAS GOING. IT HAS FAILED BUT THE ONCE, AND NEARLY CAUSED MY WIFE TO HIT PARKED AUTOMOBILES. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO IPAC ON LOOP 410 WHERE THE ENTIRE R&P UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH, I HOPE, NEW PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V008000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC CAUSE TO THE REPEATED FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,461.

I BOUGHT MY CHRYSLER TC NEW AND WITHIN 2 YEARS AND ONLY 20, 248 MILES MY BRAKES ARE GONE. CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS MY HEAVY FOOT. NOW 2 YEARS LATER BRAKES ARE OUT AGAIN AND I ONLY HAVE 45,300 MILES ON THIS CAR AND IT ISN'T MY FOOT. CHRYSLER HAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I PRESS THE BRAKES AND THERE IS THIS GROWLING NOISE. *TR

AFTER STOPPING IN MY GARAGE, I USED THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK AND OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR. THE DOOR BEGAN TO OPEN, AND I REACHED IN TO PICK UP MY BAG. THE DOOR CAUGHT SUDDENLY AND STARTED TO CLOSE QUICKLY. I REACHED UP WITH MY RIGHT ARM TO STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ON ME, WHICH IT DID. I THEN TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE CAR IN CASE THE DOOR SUDDENLY CLOSED AGAIN. THE DOOR CAUGHT AGAIN, THIS TIME SLAMMING INTO MY RIGHT CHEEK AND CAUSING A CONCUSSION. 10 DAYS LATER, AND I AM STILL RECOVERING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T WANT OTHERS TO FACE THE SAME POSSIBILITY OF INJURY. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ON 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY (MODIFIED VAN). WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF AND CLOSED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES; HOWEVER, AN OPEN SPACE REMAINED BETWEEN THE DOOR FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND STATED THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED WITHIN THE BLACK BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,201 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,636.

DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT, I LOST ALL POWER TO MY ENGINE, MOST OF MY GAUGES, AND MY POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. I PULLED MY CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR APROX. 5 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE CAR STALLED THE SAME AS BEFORE, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT WAS RIGHT AFTER I STARTED THE ENGINE AND BEGAN PULLING UP THE DRIVEWAY. APROX. 8 MINUTES LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN, WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AS IN THE FIRST INCIDENT A MONTH PREVIOUSLY; HOWEVER, THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH ON WET COUNTRY ROADS. I SUDDENLY LOST MY HEATING/FORCED AIR, MY ENGINE, AND MOST OF MY GAUGES. I DIDN'T LOOSE MY POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY. WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING AT 50 MPH, I PUT THE CAR FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND PUT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE. A FEW SECONDS LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN, BUT I NOTICEABLY LOST THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY THAT TIME. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR OVER, TURN THE IGNITION TO OFF, THEN RESTART THE CAR. I DROVE FROM THERE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 10 DAYS SO FAR, AND CANNOT LOCATE OR DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. IN EVERY INCIDENT, THERE WAS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE ANY UNUSUAL NOISES OR BEHAVE ERRATICALLY. ONE MOMENT I HAD POWER, AND THE NEXT I DIDN'T. I SIMPLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE, LOST MY POWER STEERING, MY ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, AND THE GAUGES ALL DROPPED TO ZERO.

I OWN A 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH 44,925 MILES. AT 38,000 MILE (JUST OUT OF WARRANTY I NOTICED A WHINE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AFTER INTERSTATE DRIVING. AFTER CHECKING I NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW BUT NOT EMPTY. I FILLED THE UNIT AND THE NOISE SUBSIDED BUT DIDN'T GO AWAY. I READ THAT THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR SOMETIMES HAS A PLUGGED FILTER SO I CHANGED THE RESERVOIR BUT NO CHANGE. I'VE CONTINUALLY HAD TO ADD SMALL AMOUNTS OF ATF +4 MOST RECENTLY 2 WEEKS AGO. AFTER CHECKING TODAY THE LEVEL IS DOWN AGAIN. AND THE RACK AND PINION ASSY BOOT IS LEAKING. COST TO REPLACE ... ABOUT $1000 IF THE PUMP IS OK. MY FIRST AND LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

HE MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK AND IN ORDER TO RELEASE IT, HE HAD TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A DIRTY AIR FILTER.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAS BEEN WHINING AND STEERING HAS SHUDDERED WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. SAME CONDITION EXISTS ON THREE OTHER CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVANS OWNED BY DIFFERENT FAMILY MEMBERS FROM 2006 THROUGH 2009 MODELS. FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SAME CONDITION ON OTHER WEBSITES. SOME HAD TWO AND THREE RACK AND PINION RACKS REPLACED WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT WHILE. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS AIR LEAKING INTO THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMALLY LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID TO THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE MORE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS ADDED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,300.

SEATBELTS DO NOT LOCK. YOU CAN PULL ON THEM AND PULL ON THEM AND THEY KEEP RETRACTING. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING IN SEVERAL YEARS OF CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AND DODGE GRAND CARAVANS AROUND 2006 HAVE NO PROVISION FOR GETTING SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER LIGHTING INCREASED; THIS MAKES THOSE INSTRUMENTS LITERALLY INVISIBLE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS AS AROUND SUNRISE AND SUNSET. THIS CONDITION IS ALWAYS PRESENT AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I POINTED THIS OUT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS, BUT GOT NO HELP! *TR

POWER STEERING LEAK AND FAILURE. BEGAN WITH WHINNING NOISE AT AROUND 40,000. UPON INSPECTION, POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF SERVICE, NEW STEERING ASSEMBLY BEGAN WHINNING AND LEAKING AGAIN. THE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED A SECOND TIME. CONCERNED ABOUT POWER STEERING FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND POSSIBLE SAFETY RISK FOR THE FUTURE. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AT LOW MILEAGE FOR THIS MODEL AND HAVE REQUESTED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER.

2006 TOWNE & COUNTRY. ON 12/16/2010, CAME INTO THE LANDMARK DODGE & CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AFTERWORK FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I HAD A COUPON WHICH OFFERED TIRE ROTATION AND SAFETY INSPECTION. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED MY CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO STOP NORMALLY. THE NEXT FEW DAYS IT BECAME MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND ME GREW INTENSELY. ON THE EVENING OF 12/2210 DRIVING HOME FROM THE MALL THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT KEPT MOVING FORWARD EVEN AS I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH FLASHERS ON AT LESS THAN 10MPH AND THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. AAA DRIVER SAID THE VAN HAD NO BRAKING SYSTEM. THE CAR WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED MY 2006 TOWNE & COUNTRY VAN HAD OIL IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAD TO BE TOTALLY OVERHAULED WITH A MASTER CYLINDER, FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SHOE PADS, FLUSH, AND ROTORS DUE TO CONTAINMENTS. THEY QUOTED A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $2700.00. I REFUSED TO PAY A BILL FOR A VEHICLE THEY MESSED UP. I HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES OR BRAKING SYSTEM BEFORE THE OIL CHANGE ON 12/16/10. I HAVE ROUTINELY HAD MY VAN SERVICED CONSISTENTLY THIS YEAR AND SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE. I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED CORRECTLY AND THE MATTER RESOLVED EXPEDITIOUSLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN MAKING A TURN AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

RACK & PINION WHINING, POWER STEERING HARDER TO STEER. AT ABOUT 50K MI STARTED TO HEAR A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA, TOOK IT IN TO CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED IT WAS COMING FROM THE RACK AND PINION, BUT IT DOES NOT AFFECT DRIVE OF VEHICLE AND REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY, SO WE DID NOT DO ANYTHING WITH IT; OVER TIME MY STEERING GOT HARDER AND HARDER, AND WHINING GOT LOUDER; TOOK IT BACK IN 30K MI LATER AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE RACK AND PINION AND THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH POWER STEERING PUMP. AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH SAME ISSUE AT APPROX THE SAME MILES WHEN PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING. THIS TO ME DOES SEEM TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT AND DEALER IS REFUSING TO HELP OUT WITH ANY OF THE REPAIRS. AND THE FACT THAT IT AFFECTS STEERING RAISES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IN MY MIND. *TR

PURCHASED 2006 TC CHRYSLER IN NOVEMBER 2006. AT APPROXIMATELY 43K MILES, DECEMBER 2007, THE POWERING STEERING BEGAN WHINING. VEHICLE WAS DETERMINED BY CHRYSLER TO NEED A NEW RACK FOR THE STEERING, NEW HOSES, NEW STEERING RESAVOR ETC.. COSTING OVER $1,500. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. *TR

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2006 T & C AND HAVE MAINTAINED IT LIKE NEW INSIDE AND OUT - NOT ABUSED. STILL LOOKS BRAND NEW. AT 34,000 MILES WE NEED TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION! COST IS AROUND $1,000 THAT WE DON'T HAVE! CHRYSLER NEED TO BE HONEST AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IF THERE IS ANY HELP, SUGGESTIONS, WE'D APPRECIATE IT. *TR

POWER STEERING-WHINING NOISE. NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF 900.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE; WHEN HE WENT TO RELEASE IT, THE FOOT PEDAL HIT HIM HARD ON THE HAND. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

STARTING WHEN MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN HAD 29,0245 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW BEGAN TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY. SOME DAYS THE WINDOW WOULD GO UP AND DOWN WHEN THE DRIVER'S CONSOLE SWITCH WAS PUSHED OTHER TIMES IT WOULD RESPOND TO THE SWITCH ON THE DOOR. OTHER DAYS IT DID NOTHING WHEN THE SWITCH WAS PUSHED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES, BUT WHILE MILEAGE WAS STILL LESS THAN 36,000, THE WINDOW REFUSED TO WORK AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT SWITCH WAS USED. I HAVE ASKED VARIOUS DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IF THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS NO. I ASK IF THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY NO. SINCE THIS IS SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM WITH MY 1997 DODGE CARAVAN WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH REFUSED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS, EVEN AFTER ANOTHER, CERTIFIED CORRECTLY OPERATING STALK SWITCH WAS INSTALLED AND ALL WIRING CHECKED. THE WIPERS STILL WORKED MECHANICALLY WHEN THE "WASH" POSITION WAS PUSHED. FINALLY I HAD TO HAVE A NEW "BODY CONTROL MODULE" COMPUTER INSTALLED AND ALL THIS TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND COST $741.19, I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE MY VAN TO BE "EXPERIMENTED UPON" (WITH ME PAYING THE BILL). I BELIEVE ALL THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE INSTALLATION OF A DEFECTIVE COMPUTER MODULE (WHICH THEY CALL "BODY CONTROL MODULE") DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO THINK I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AS THE VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY "PROGRAMMED TO FAIL" DUE TO THE USE OF DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AUTHORI
