CHRYSLER DECLINED COVERING MY CAR UNDER K19 RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED 2 DAYS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE AND ALSO THEY ALSO SAID MY CAR WAS SOLD ORIGINALLY IN OK. THE CAR RESIDES IN IL SINCE 2013. EVEN MY SERVICE ADVISOR THOUGHT IT WAS COVERED BY THE SAME RECALL. THE RECALL COVER BOTH OF THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, THE LEFT ONE WAS REPLACED ALMOST A YEAR AGO ON MY EXPENSES IN CHRYSLER DEALER AND NOW AFTER 10 K MILES THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING STARTED TO CREATE HUMMING AND GRINDING SOUND. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 DAYS BEFORE THE K19 TIME FRAME. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR REPAIRING MY CAR, BUT THIS MINIVAN TRAVELED TO THE DEALERSHIP 19 TIMES FOR MANY DIFFERENT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS SINCE AUGUST 2013, THIS IS TOO MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS REGARD. *TR

INCIDENT WITH CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY 2008 2/9/15 BETWEEN 4:26-4:29 P.M. DRIVING SLOW AFTER JUST HAVING GOTTEN A GREEN LIGHT (25MPH OR LESS) HIT A BIG BUMP IN THE ROAD. EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND I FELT THE ENGINE LOSE POWER. THE VAN COASTED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS THEN SEEMED TO GAIN POWER BACK. WENT AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD SLOWLY AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. IT DID NOT COME BACK AT ALL THIS TIME. I TRIED TO USE THE TURN SIGNAL TO GET TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. SIGNAL DID NOT WORK. NEITHER DID POWER STEERING. I COULD NOT GET VAN TO TURN INTO PARKING LOT. THERE WAS A MOVING VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND A PARKING LOT FULL OF CARS TO MY LEFT. I FOUND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AND THANKFULLY THE VAN COASTED INTO A SNOW BANK WHICH STOPPED IT FROM MOVING ANY FARTHER. TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN INTO PARK AND MAKE SURE IT REALLY WAS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WAITED JUST UNDER A MINUTE. I DECIDED TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION AND SEE IF I COULD GET THE VAN TO START. IT STARTED WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS?! CAR KEY' ATTACHED TO KEY RING WITH OTHER KEYS. DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT RECALL. LOOKED UP POSSIBLE RECALLS AFTER THE FACT AND YES, THERE IS ONE. AND IT IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN CHRYSLER LETS ON. TRIED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER BY PHONE SEVERAL TIMES AND CAN'T GET THROUGH. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN ONE

BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2013 MY CAR STALLED (COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN...LIGHTS, ENGINE, POWER STEERING, ETC.) WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR PARKWAY. IT WAS NIGHT AND NO OTHER CAR WAS NEAR ME (THANKFULLY), AND I SLOWLY GLIDED TO THE SIDE. IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT SINCE I DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER STEERING OR LIGHTS. I HAD A FRIEND, MY DAUGHTER AND MY DAUGHTER'S FRIEND IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE WERE ALL VERY FRIGHTENED. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO MY DEALERSHIP (MEADOWLAND CHRYSLER IN CARMEL) NEW YORK. AT THAT TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND CAUSE. AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A NUMBER OF MONTHS BACK, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (L25/NHTSA 14V-373) DESCRIBING THE VERY SAME SITUATION. AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL, I HAVE FOLLOWED THEIR SUGGESTIONS, TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER - BUT STILL NO PART. THE FREQUENCY OF MY CAR STALLING WHILE IN MOTION HAS INCREASED. IT HAPPENED ON I-84 AT NIGHT AND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST PLOWED INTO ME. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BUT WAIT FOR THE PART. I HAVE KEPT MY COPIES OF CORRESPONDENCE WITH THEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THIS TIME TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AND DRIVING THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS AND ANY OTHER CAR THAT HAPPENS TO BE ON THE ROAD NEAR ME. *TR

OUR VEHICLE HAS FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS THAT ARE FAILING. WE FOUND THAT, UNBEKNOWNST TO US, CHRYSLER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE TO 5 YEARS OR 90,000 MILES.

APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER, L25/NHTSA 14V-373, ADVISING THAT MY CAR COULD UNEXPECTEDLY SWITCH FROM "RUN" TO "ACCESSORY", CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHUT OFF. THIS WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND THE INACTIVATION OF THE PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS. THE LETTER SAID THE PART TO FIX THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL PROBLEM WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL WHEN IT WAS. SIX MONTHS LATER AND STILL NO FIX. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO INTRODUCE NEW CARS, BUT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIX MY DEFECTIVE CAR. A CALL TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER GETS ONLY A RECORDING, RECITING ALMOST VERBATIM, THE RECALL LETTER. IS MY, OR MY WIFE'S DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY GOING TO BE THE RESULT OF THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE DELAY IN CORRECTING A KNOW SERIOUS PROBLEM? IT'S A THOUGHT THAT IS IN MY MIND EACH TIME WE START OUR VAN. CAN WE GET SOME HELP BEFORE ANYTHING ACTUALLY HAPPEN? UPDATED 03/04/15. *JB

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
