2007 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 11/21/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. UPDATED 5/5/2015 *JS

THE HORN STARTED ACTIVATING ON ITS OWN, LASTING 2-3 MINUTES AT A TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS PERSISTED SINCE THAT DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUE (AFTER DIAGNOSTICS) WAS THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS SLOWLY EXPANDING CAUSING THE CONTACTS ON THE HORN TO ACTIVATE. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG COULD HAVE DEPLOYED WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH IT DID NOT IN THIS CASE AS I TOOK IT QUICKLY TO THE A DEALER, WHERE IT SITS TODAY. THE DEALER ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE HAPPENING ON THE RARE OCCASION. THIS NOT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RESEARCHED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY. I ALSO THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDED REPAIRS TO THESE VEHICLES, I HAVE SENT A REQUEST TO CHRYSLER AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AND DRIVING ABOUT TWO BLOCKS, THE ENGINE STALLED DURING DECELERATION FOR A STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND BEING ALLOWED IT SIT FOR A MOMENT. THE ENGINE STARTED TO DIE AGAIN AT A STOP SIGN A FEW BLOCKS LATER, BUT THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PREVENT THAT BY GIVING IT GAS AND AVOIDING COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. BETWEEN THEN AND THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED UP WITH GAS, THERE WERE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM HAS RE-OCCURRED PERIODICALLY OVER APPROXIMATELY THE LAST YEAR, OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT'S COME TO BE EXPECTED AFTER GETTING GAS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED, BETWEEN TWO AND SIX BLOCKS FROM THE GAS STATION, AND WHILE DECELERATING. *TR

ENGINE SHUT OFF GOING AROUND A CORNER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HAD TO RESTART VAN. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE VAN, THE ENGINE STALLS AND WE LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITH IN A MILE OF THE GAS STATION. IT SPUTTERS AT OTHER TIMES AND LOOSES POWER. WE HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP BUT THAT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. AFTER DOING SOME ON LINE INVESTIGATION IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN GOING ON WITH MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED TO CAPACITY, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

IF I FILL THE GAS TANK UNTIL THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF STOPS THE FLOW OF GASOLINE, AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION, THE FIRST STOP I MAKE THE CAR WILL WANT TO STALL. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP IT REVVED OR FEATHER THE GAS PEDAL IN DRIVE. ON SOME OCCASIONS IF IT DOES NOT STALL AND I AM ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND FEATHER THE GAS PEDAL. AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT OFF THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF I HAVE NO PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS RECTIFIED. I HAVE OWNED 3 DODGE CARAVANS AND ANOTHER CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM, ALL WERE PRIOR 2007 MODELS. *TR

VAN SURGED AND STALLED WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AFTER FILL UPS. *TR

VEHICLE SOMETIMES STALLS OR DIES AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. *TR

THE VAN HAS STALLED A HANDFUL OF TIMES WHILE MID-TURN AFTER BEING FUELED UP! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE. I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN OUR LOCAL PAPER AND WAS SHOCKED THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AS WELL. HERE IS THE ARTICLE: HTTP://WWW.DETROITNEWS.COM/ARTICLE/20140909/AUTO0101/309090093/1361/COMPLAINT-LEADS-TO-PROBE-OF-CHRYSLER-MINIVAN-STALLING-ISSUE PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON THIS ISSUE! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, EVERYTHING GOES OUT....NO POWER STEERING AT SLOW SPEED AROUND A TURN IS BAD! THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVEN OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. UPDATED 11/14/14*CN

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WE ARE GOING AROUND A CURVE OR PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. THE VAN HAS TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY HAS TO BE TURNED ON. WE HAVE ELIMINATED ALL KEYS FROM OUR FOB. THE VAN HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT OUR FAMILY IS GOING TO BE KILLED IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD US THERE ARE NO RECALLS. WHY DOES IT TAKE NUMEROUS DEATHS IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE A RECALL? WE BOUGHT THIS VAN BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND NOW WE FEAR IT IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL OUR FAMILY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST 2 YEARS OUR VAN HAS STALLED WITHIN 1-2 MILES OF LEAVING A GAS STATION. ON EACH OF THOSE OCCURRENCES THE AUTO SHUTOFF FUNCTION OF THE GAS PUMP WAS USED TO TERMINATED FUELING. ON ONE SPECIFIC OCCASION THE VAN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. IF IT HAD BEEN RUSH HOUR IT WOULD HAVE PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE AROUND. ON OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN MANUALLY TERMINATING FUELING THE VAN HAS STALLED. THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY OCCURS AT A CERTAIN LEVEL IN THE TANK WHEN IT IS APPROACHING FULL. *TR

DRIVING OVER A WATER PUDDLE SUCH AS IN A POT HOLE RESULTS IN A SPLASH OF WATER THAT SOMEHOW CAUSES THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP TO COME ON. DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES THAT I CAN RECALL IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. OFTEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF THEN RESTARTED THE LAMP DOESN'T STAY ON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD NO POWER STEERING . I DIDN'T TOUCH IGNITION OR ANYTHING IT JUST SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER PUT IN PARK AND IT DID RESTART HAS NOT HAPPENED TODAY VERY SCARY. *TR

PRETTY MUCH EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR, I WILL OCCASIONALLY BE DRIVING AND BUMP THE KEY WITH MY KNEE, TURNING THE VAN OFF ALTOGETHER. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WITH THE ENGINE OFF, SO I HAVE TO TRY TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND CAREFULLY NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PUT THE VAN IN "PARK" AGAIN SO THAT I CAN RESTART IT (I CAN'T RESTART IT WHILE I'M STILL MOVING). I AM VERY, VERY CAREFUL TO TRY TO NEVER EVEN TOUCH THE KEY WITH MY KNEE SO THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, BUT IT STILL DOES OCCASIONALLY. *TR

FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW WHEN WE HAVE THE A/C RUNNING IT LEAKS FROM THE FIREWALL ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN FLOOR. IF THE A/C IS RAN LONG ENOUGH WITH OUT DRYING OUT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE GETS WET ALSO. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY'S FOR THE REASON. OUR VAN WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2007 AND THE RECALL ON THE 2008'S START ON JUNE 27, 2007 AND GO TO JULY 30, 2008 MANUFACTURED VANS. I DO BELIEVE MY VAN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN ON THIS RECALL BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THE A/C DRAIN CLEANED AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LEAK IS FROM THE FIREWALL WHERE THE A/C CONNECTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE VAN UNDER THE CARPET. WE HAVE SEEN IT LEAK AND I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE FIXED SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. I DON'T WANT THE CARPET TO ROT OUT AND I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO BE MESSED UP EITHER. THANK YOU. ALSO WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VIN SINCE WE GOT THE VAN.... WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD IT IS AN INVALID VIN IT WOULDN'T EVEN WORK ON THIS SITE BUT THAT IS WHAT IS ON THE VAN IN THE VIN LOCATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR THE REVENUE OFFICE DID TO GET IT TO WORK. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK AND DRIVING MAYBE ONE BLOCK THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS HAPPENS NOW AFTER EVERY FILLUP. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE13016 FOR OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR. A SEARCH IN GOOGLE CAME UP WITH MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH MANY DIFFERENT CARS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. IF YOU PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION DIRECTLY ONTO A HIGHWAY AND STALL WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD BE DISASTROUS (B'AH). *TR

WE HAVE NOTICED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF RUST IN THE WHEEL WELLS AND THE FRAME OF THE SLIDING DOORS. THIS VAN HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND DO NOT THINK THE RUST IS A FEEL CAUTION OF ITS CARE. I AM UNSURE IF THE SLIDING DOOR FRAME WILL REMAIN INTACT AND WE MAY NEED TO STOP OPENING IT UP. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE MESSAGE ON THE CONSOLE. REMOVED VALVE STEM CAP AND WENT TO FILL TIRE WITH AIR WHEN PART OF THE VALVE STEM SHOT AT ME. LUCKILY IT HIT MY SHOULDER AND NOT FACE OR EYES OR WHILE DRIVING. TIRE THEN RAPIDLY DEFLATED. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TPMS SENSOR. TPMS SENSOR VALVE STEM WAS MADE OF CHEAP ALUMINUM. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN STALLS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE ISOLATED, BUT AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH, IT SEEMS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD ISSUE. MY OPINION IS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 55,000 MILES. THANKS. *TR

AFTER FUELING, THE 2007 T & C VAN WITH 3.3 L V-6 STARTS TO STALL, SPUTTER AND SURGE. THIS HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY MORE FREQUENT WITH EACH TANK FILL. AFTER 30 SECONDS FROM THE ONSET, THE ENGINE NORMALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL IDLE AND RUNS SMOOTHLY. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST EVENING (3/9/13) AND THE ENGINE SURGED BY UP TO 800 RPMS JUST AFTER THE VAN WAS PUT INTO GEAR AND WE WERE PULLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP AND WE HAD A BIT OF CONTROL LOSS WITH PEDESTRIANS IN THE WAY. NO ONE HURT THANKFULLY. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ON, COULD NOT RESET. HAD PREVIOUS ERRORS AND COULD RESET. PROBABLE AIR BAG SENSOR BAD. HAD TO REPLACE WHOLE AIRBAG (VERY EXPENSIVE) OR NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WOULD WORK. DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL. HAVE NOTICED MANY AIRBAG RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES LATELY. WHY NOT THIS ONE? *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A CITY STREET THAT WAS IN GOOD REPAIR (NO POTHOLES OR ROUGH ROAD). BACK WINDOW JUST SHATTERED. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 46 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, I DID NOT HAVE THE HEAT ON IN THE VAN, NOR DID I HAVE THE BACK DEFROSTER ON. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE (I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT) AND THE WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE VAN ... NO BULLET, NO ROCK, NOTHING IN THE VAN AS EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WAS THROWN / SHOT THRU THE WINDOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE A TIRE BY UTILIZING THE FACTORY JACK THAT CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE VEHICLE, THE JACK FAILED AND AWKWARDLY BENT OUTWARD FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT IGNITED INTO FLAMES. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE LARGE FLAMES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE FIRED ORIGINATED WITHIN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDERING EFFECT WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 38-55 MPH. THE TRANS-AXLE HAS BEEN REBUILT MULTIPLE TIMES AND LASTS APPRX. 12000 MILES AND THEN HAS TO BE REBUILT AGAIN. AS THE MILES PROGRESS UP FROM THE REBUILD THE SHUDDERING INCREASES AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES A DANGER TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER POSITION IS THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE AND IT IS OUR PROBLEM. WE ARE CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN A WARRANTY SUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER, OUR ATTORNEY IS KROHN & MOSS. THE CASE IS SCHEDULED FOR TRIAL IN FEB. 2013. *TR

FRONT COURTESY LIGHTS HAVE MELTED IN THEIR SOCKETS AND TAIL LIGHT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF STARTING TO DO THE SAME. TURN SIGNALS HAVE GONE CRAZY: SOMETIMES THEY WORK AS THEY SHOULD, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL, AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO USE THE LEVER OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO GET THEM TO ENGAGE. THE WORSE PART IS THAT AT TIMES IF YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT, THE LEFT COMES ON. WE FEEL BOTH OF THESE ISSUES COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. THEY BOTH SEEM TO BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THE LIGHTS COULD PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD AND THE TURN SIGNALS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE MOVING IN REVERSE AROUND THREE TO FIVE MILES PER HOUR, THE FOUR-WAY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ACTIVATED AND THE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENED APPROXIMATELY ONE TO THREE INCHES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND WHILE SHIFTING TO DRIVE THE POWER SLIDING DOOR COMPLETED THE OPENING CYCLE. THE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR WAS THEN UNRESPONSIVE AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY CLOSED. ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT THE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR BEGAN SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN OPENING, THE DOOR WOULD STOP JUST A FEW INCHES FROM THE LATCH. WHEN CLOSING, THE DOOR WOULD STOP JUST A FEW INCHES FROM THE LATCH. *JS

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE ELECTRIC DOOR RELEASE WON'T WORK AND NOW THE MANUAL DOOR RELEASE WON'T WORK. PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED INSIDE. ONLY WAY OUT, IS TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE TO RELEASE THE PEOPLE INSIDE. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT ANY SPEED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONE TIME PER WEEK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE MINIVAN WITH GAS (ESPECIALLY IF FULL), ONCE DRIVING OFF GAS STATION LOT--CAR STALLS. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. USUALLY SHAKES RIGHT BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BRAKES TOO. THE MORE YOU BRAKE RIGHT AFTER TURNING CAR BACK ON AFTER FILL UP, THE MORE LIKELY IT WILL STALL. VERY DANGEROUS IF MAKING A TURN, ON HIGHWAY OR IF CARS ARE BEHIND IT. ALSO DIED ONCE WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING CAR BECAUSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE GONE TOO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND IS A HUGE PROBLEM. OUR CHRYSTLER/DODGE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS ONLINE. THIS IS A 2007 MOST OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE WITH 2005. *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR, ALL FOUR VALVE STEMS HAVE BROKEN OFF EACH TIRES PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR RESULTING IN AN UNEXPECTED FLAT TIRE. THE FIRST WAS WHILE ROUTINE AIRING OF THE TIRE, THE SECOND WAS IN A CAR WASH, AND TWO OCCURRED IN ONE DAY AS I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF THE STEM CAPS. THE EASE AT WHICH ALL FOUR BROKE IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING (SIMPLY UNSCREWING THE CAP, FOR EXAMPLE), AND SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS COMPLETE PLAUSIBLE THAT THE STEMS COULD HAVE SNAPPED OFF WHILE ON CRUISING ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC, CAUSING A FLAT TIRE AT SPEED, WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER CHECKING A CHRYSLER MINIVAN BLOG, IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE IS COMMON AMONG ALL CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE SENSOR. I HAVE CHECKED WITH CHRYSLER BUT AM NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL WITH THIS DEVICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE.

ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETECTED WATER PUMP LEAKAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

AFTER FILL IN GAS IN GAS STATION, DROVE ABOUT 3/4 MILES, TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST POWER. ENGINE STOPPED, NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKE. FINALLY THE CAR STOPPED AT THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON, THEN EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. *TR
