I OWN A 2006 TOWN & COUNTY CHRSYLER VAN, IT IS FINE UNTIL MY HUSBAND DRIVES IT. THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IN THE UNIVERSAL JOINT/DRIVE TRAIN/SOUNDS LIKE IT CLUNKS AND FALLS INTO PLACE WHEN TAKING OFF OR STOPPING. I TOOK IT FOR MY NORMAL OIL CHANGE AND ASK THEM WHY IT DID THAT. THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THAT MY VAN'S HAS A MEMORY OF MY DRIVING AND WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DRIVES IT, IT NEEDED TO BE PUT ON A MACHINE TO CLEAR, THAT WAS ALL. IT DRIVES WITHOUT THAT SOUND NOW. I'M NOT A HARD STOPPER OR FAST STARTER. DOES MY HUSBANDS DRIVING CAUSE IT TO DO THAT, HE STOPS HARDER AND TAKES OFF FASTER THAN I DO?

SECOND ROW SEAT BELT LATCH IS NOT LATCHING. THE RELEASE BUTTON STICKS IN THE RELEASE POSITION. WHICH CAUSES THE SEAT BELT NOT TO HOLD. IT WILL NOT CLICK. *JB

HEAVY WEAR ON BRAKES. AT APPROX 13,000 MILES WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES DUE TO WEAR. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE NORM THESE DAYS DUE TO NEWER BRAKE MATERIALS AND OUR CHRYSLER T&C BEING A HEAVY VEHICLE. I DON'T THINK BRAKES SHOULD WEAR OUT AT 13000 MILES. PLEASE MONITOR THIS ISSUE. *JB

MY 2 YEAR OLD SON PUSHED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE HATCH ON OUR 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI-VAN AND MY HUSBAND WAS PACKING THE CAR AND WAS UNDER THE HATCH AND HE THOUGHT IS WAS GOING TO BOUNCE BACK UP LIKE IT HAS IN THE PAST AND IT DID NOT. THE BACK HATCH KEPT CLOSING DOWN ON HIM HE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO PIN HIM IN SO HE PUT HIS ARM OVER HIS HEAD TO TRY AND STOP THE HATCH FROM PUSHING DOWN ON HIM AND ONLY WHEN HE PUSHED UP SO HARD THAT IS SNAPPED THE ARM OFF THE BACK HATCH DID IT STOP AND BOUNCE BACK UP. ALSO MY HUSBANDS WRIST AND ARM WERE SWOLLEN FROM THE HATCH PUSHING DOWN ON HIM. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BY TWO YEAR SON UNDER THERE AND IT COULD OF KILLED A SMALL CHILD OR PERSON.

A TIRE DEALERSHIP EXAMINED THE TIRE AND DETERMINED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE; HOWEVER THE AIR VALVE ON THE WHEEL WAS LEAKING AIR. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE AIR VALVE.

AFTER STARTING MY CAR, THE LIGHT INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF STAYED ON FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP. AN HOUR LATER I STOPPED, TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI-VAN. THE VAN IS EQUIPPED WITH STOW AND GO SEATING. ON THE THIRD ROW SEATS, LOCATED ON THE END OF EACH SEAT, LEFT AND RIGHT, IS A PULL TAB. WHEN MY 6 YEAR OLD SON PULLED THE TAB THE SEAT EJECTS FORWARD. THE FORCE CREATED A LUMP ON HIS HEAD. THE TAB IS EASY TO ACCESS AND EASY FOR A CHILD TO PULL. WHEN THE TAB IS PULLED THE UPPER PART OF SEAT MOVES FORWARD FAST AND WITH FORCE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR CHILDREN AND EVEN ADULT. ESPECIALLY, IF YOU AREN'T EXPECTING THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE SUN ROOF GLASS BLEW OUT, HITTING THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING SOME BODY DAMAGE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SUN ROOF GLASS AND METAL FRAME WERE REPLACED.
