2008 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

AFTER ARRIVING AT WORK AND ENTERING MY OFFICE, I HEARD A HORN CONTINUOUSLY GOING OFF AND REALIZED IT WAS COMING FROM MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON AT A HIGH SPEED, AS WELL AS MY LIGHTS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSIDE WAS FLASHING AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE VAN WAS ACTUALLY ON AND RUNNING... WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION! SOMEHOW IT HAD STARTED ITSELF UP (MINE DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE). I TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF TO GET IT TO STOP BY TURNING ON THE IGNITION WITH THE KEY, PRESSING AND HOLDING THE BRAKE - NOTHING WORKED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, A COWORKER CAME TO HELP ME DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BUT JUST BEFORE WE DISCONNECTED IT THE VAN STOPPED AND IT WAS QUIET AGAIN. I CRANKED THE CAR UP WITH THE KEY AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE NORMAL. I HAVE YET TO DRIVE IT SO I WILL SEE IN A FEW HOURS IF ANYTHING IS AFFECTED. I PLAN ON CALLING MY DEALERSHIP TODAY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! *KB

EARLY BRAKE WEAR - I BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER T&C IN DECEMBER 2010 WITH APPROXIMATELY 26,500 MILES. THE SERVICE HISTORY INDICATES THAT IT HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED WHEN IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND HAD 11,996 MILES. WE HAVE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS AT 27,000 MILES AND AT 28,500 WE ARE NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS WHICH ARE WEARING UNEVENLY AND ALL FOUR ROTORS. *KB

FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE VALVE STEM ON MY 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY BROKE. THIS TIME IT RESULTED IN A TIRE GOING FLAT WHILE GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR. FORTUNATELY WE COULD GET OFF THE ROAD AND AAA CAME TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE. WE REPLACED THE STEM BUT WILL NEED AN EXPENSIVE SENSOR TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THIS PART AS PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE NEXT TWO STEMS COULD GO AND CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

PROBLEM IS THE TIRE VALVE STEMS ON THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM BROKE OFF. THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AFTER A 20 MILE DRIVE AND HAD BEEN SETTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR 10 MIN. THE END OF THE VALVE STEM JUST BLEW OFF. GOOD THING WE WERE NOT GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH. I SAW ON THE INTERNET HUNDREDS OF THESE HAVE BEEN OCCURRING. THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND SAFETY FROM BEING STRANDED OR WORSE. THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONES THAT DO NOT CORRODE. I PUT NEW TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO TO BE SAFE AND NOW I CAN NOT TRUST A SIMPLE VALVE STEM !!!!!!!!!

VAN STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, RESULTING IN A TRAFFIC JAM. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES HAYWIRE UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN THE HORN GOING OFF FOR MINUTES, FRONT AND REAR WIPER BLADES AND WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID GOING OFF, HEAD LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF. VAN WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS PUT ON OFF AND KEY REMOVED. THE VAN HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEAL SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. BOTH CHILDREN AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR EXPOSING US TO POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A GRINDING NOISE DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL OF THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE BRAKES WERE AGAIN REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

FOR SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS AT 30,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES AND GRIND ROTORS. ON 6/29/2011 2008 CHRYSLER T&C TOURING 3.8L WENT TO WOLBERT AUTO BODY IN PITTSBURGH, PA FOR BRAKE WARNING SQUEELERS AND A TIRE ROTATION. UPON PAYING FOR FRONT BRAKES, MACHINING OF FRONT ROTORS AND ROTATING TIRES MY MECHANIC INDICATED ON MY INVOICE THAT BOTH FRONT VAVE STEMS BAD. TOOK CAR TO MICKS ODGE CHRYSLER IN ROBINSON TWP., PA ON 7/7/2011 (NOTE THIS WAS SCHEDULED AND IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO CHRYSLER THAT THE TWO VALVE STEMS WERE CORRODED AND CRACKED). CAR PICKED UP FROM FRANK STIFTER WHERE HE INDICATED ONLY ONE VALVE STEM WAS BAD. I ASKED THAT HE SHOW ME WHAT HE SAW AND SHARED WITH FRANK THAT OUR MECHANIC WARNED AND DOCUMENTED TWO FRONT STEMS BAD. HE INSISTED ONLY ONE AND SHOWED ME. AFTER LEAVING I WENT BACK TO WOLBERT AUTO WHO SPECIFICALLY SHOWED ME THAT NOT ONLY WERE THE FRONT TWO CORRODED AND CRACKED (NUT AND VALVE) BUT THAT THE BACK TWO WERE ALREADY CORRODING AND COULD SOON CRACK. SAME DAY 07/07/11 CALLED CHRYSLER AND INDICATED THEY MAY WANT TO REPLACE ALL FOUR AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. LATER ON 07/07/11 TOOK TWO DAUGHTERS TO MOVIES AND TIRE FAILS ON EXIT. PATRON TOOK ME TO THEATER, 911 CALL MADE, TOW REQUESTED, HUSBAND NOTIFIED TO RESUCE US. ALL IN ONE DAY. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ON A RAMP AND NOT 79 S AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED. MY CHILDREN WERE DEVISTATED. NOTE ALSO I TOLD FRANK THAT I HAD CONCERN FOR SAFETY WITH THREE KIDS AND PLAYED OUT A SENARIO OVER THE PHONE. WITHIN 90

MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY SPORADICALLY ACTS UP. THE WIPERS GO NUTS, THE WASHER FLUID EMPTIES, THE HORN GOES OFF, AND THE LAST TIME THE CAR SHUT DOWN, AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT WAS VERY SCARY. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND BUMP INTO THE CURB TO STOP. IF I WERE ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY ROAD IT WOULD HAVE ENDED IN AN ACCIDENT AND COULD KILL MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE SERVICE DEPT THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT BY REFLASHING SOME MODULES BUT IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES AFTER THAT AND NOW THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN SO THEY WANT ME TO TAKE THE CAR UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I THINK THAT IS POOR SERVICE FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN CAUSE A DEATH. THIS ISSUE IS NOT NEW AS I HAVE READ ABOUT IT ONLINE I AM JUST TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD IT FIXED SO I CAN TELL THE SERVICE DEPT. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND I CAN DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY WITH MY FAMILY. THIS SHOULD BE AN ISSUE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH SIDE AIR CONDITIONER HOSE FAILED AND BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. UPDATED 09/02/11*LJ UPDATED 10/31/11

I PURCHASED MY 2008 T/C VAN IN 2010 FROM EASTGATE CHRYSLER JEEP IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN. THE VAN HAD LESS THAN $30K MILES. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED IT, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN 'TURNING ITSELF OFF' WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE AND SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIND ANYTHING ON THE COMPUTER THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I AM GOING 60 MPH. IT HAS EVEN DONE IT WHILE GOING 30 MPR. THERE IS NEVER A WARNING. YOU JUST REALIZE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE RADIO TURNS OFF, AND EVERYTHING ELSE ELECTRICAL STOPS. IT MAY DO THIS TWICE A MONTH OR TWICE A WEEK. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE IN 1 DAY. THE DEALERSHIP DID REPLACE THE KEY, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. I'VE HAD 1 INSTANCE WHERE THE VAN CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT I HAD NO POWER TO THE WIPERS, WINDOWS, RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER OR LIGHTS. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM NOTHING WAS WORKING. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL I TOUCHED MY KEYS THAT EVERYTHING CAME ON. I DIDN'T TURN THE KEY'I ONLY TOUCHED THE KEY CHAIN. THE MAN AT CHRYSLER SAW THIS HAPPEN AND WAS JUST AS CONFUSED AS I WAS. I HAVE POSTED THIS PROBLEM ON A WEBSITE CALLED WWW.EDMUNDS.COM LOOKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR T/C VANS. THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THE 2008 MODELS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I DON

I HAVE A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THAT I PURCHASED NEW WITH CURRENTLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN A YEAR WE BEGAN EXPERIENCING LOUD SQUEALING NOISES WHILE DRIVING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. IN 2010 THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS. THE LOUD SQUEALING NOISE FROM THE REAR NEVER REALLY WAS RESOLVED. MOST RECENTLY WE HAVE NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND SMELL FROM THE REAR TIRE AREA AND THE REAR WHEEL RIMS ARE VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH WHEN WE STOP THE CAR TO INSPECT. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON-LINE AND NOTICE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALER IN CHICAGO AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN AND ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE FREQUENTLY WITH BRAKE TYPE ISSUES FOR CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY 2008 MODELS AND THE STANDARD REMEDY IS TO CHANGE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. THIS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM HERE, THE ROOT CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED, AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I AND OTHERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY PAY OR INVEST TIME TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON INVOLUNTARILY AND ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS FAILURE ALSO CAUSES ALL THE OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO FAIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LAST LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE WAS THE (NO BUS) LIGHT, WHICH CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS TO FLASH. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS IN WHICH A WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED THE WARNING INDICATOR SOUNDED AND ALL THE GAUGES ZEROED OUT AND THE VAN TEMPORARILY LOST POWER THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS IT ONLY LAST A SECOND AND THE VAN SEEMS NORMAL AFTERWARDS. NOT SURE IF ITS A COMPUTER GLITCH OR SOMETHING ELSE.

PROBLEM 1 - THE VAN VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING DOWNHILL. CHANGING BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS DOES NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM 2 - DURING WARM WEATHER (80 DEGREES AND ABOVE) THE WIPERS RUN CONTINUALLY, THE POWERED DRIVERS SEAT GOES BACK AND FORTH, THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON, THE STEREO/NAV WILL NOT WORK, THE A/C QUITS COOLING BUT THE FAN CONTINUES TO BLOW, THE POWER WINDOW WILL NOT WORK AND THE LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN.

FRONT END NOISE AND VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TT

3RD REPLACEMENT OF FRONT ROTORS ON 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED. LAST ROTOR REPLACEMENT WAS SEPT 2010 NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO. TOTAL MILES ON VEHICLE 51,000. 1ST REPLACEMENT OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. IF NOT CAUGHT DURING INSPECTION COULD HAVE LED TO SEVERE ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES, AS WELL AS THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. IN ADDITION, THE REAR BRAKES WOULD NEED RESURFACING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,215. UPDATED 07/08/11*LJ THE REAR ROTORS WERE MACHINED. UPDATED 07/28/11

FAILURE OF 3 TPMS VALVE STEMS.(TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR) TPMS IS MOUNTED TO THE WHEEL WITH A ALUMINUM VALVE STEM AND ALUMINUM NUT. THE NUTS AND STEMS ARE CORRODING AND THE NUT IS CRACKING. THE SENSOR AND STEM IS HELD IN PLACE BY AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE BUT IT BEGINS LEAKING AIR AFTER THE NUT CRACKS. TIRE LEAKS 1-2 PSI PER MILE AT 65MPH. CAN NOT ADD AIR TO TIRE BECAUSE WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE VALVE STEM IT PUSHES INTO THE RIM. 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH 30 THOUSAND MILES. THE TIRES ON THE VAN HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN REPLACED YET. VALVE STEMS ON THE SENSORS ARE BARE ALUMINUM WITH NO CORROSION PROTECTION. TPMS APPEAR TO BE MADE BY SIEMENS VDO AND ARE NOT MADE BY CHRYSLER. STEMS NEED TO MADE FROM A MORE CORROSION RESISTANT METAL OR NEED TO BE ANODIZED. CHRYSLER HAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY SO FAR BUT VALVE STEMS/SENSOR DON'T LAST 3 YEARS. *TR

THE PROTECTIVE LENSES COVERING THE MIRROR MOUNTED TURN SIGNALS FALLS OFF AS IT WAS ONLY LIGHTLY GLUED ON AT THE FACTORY. THIS LEADS TO RAIN AND OTHER ITEMS COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE BARE CIRCUIT BOARD THE CONTROLS THE LED TURN SIGNALS. THIS CAN LEAD TO MALFUNCTION WHERE THE MIRROR MOUNTED TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT PROPERLY ACTIVATE ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINING. CHRYSLER HAS FIXED THE DESIGN ISSUE IN THE NEWER REPLACEMENT LEDS HOWEVER THE DEALER CHARGES $80S PER SIDE FOR PARTS ONLY. I WAS QUOTED SEVERAL HUNDRED FOR INSTALLING THE NEW PARTS. *TR

OUR SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL IS NOT HOLDING AT THE POINT OF SUPERLATCH AS IT SHOULD. AFTER CONFIRMING WE HAVE A TIGHT INSTALL, JUST A TOUCH, KNOCK, NICK, ANYTHING TO THE RELEASE TAB WILL LOOSEN THE STRAP TO THE POINT OF THE SEAT TIPPING. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE GONE TO TAKE MY SON OUT OF HIS SEAT AND HIS SEAT IS COMPLETELY LOOSE (EVEN THOUGH I CHECK HIS SEAT WEEKLY AND KNOW IT IS TIGHTLY INSTALLED). (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2008, MAKE=TOWN AND COUNTRY, MODEL=CHRYSLER). *TR

I OWN A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN AND YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A WEIRD SOUND FROM THE OUTSIDE AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED AROUND TO SEE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM MY LEFT REAR WHEEL. I PUT SOME WATER ON IT AND HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER AS I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCE. THE DEALER (GURNEE DODGE) TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE MY REAR BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTORS AS THEY ARE WORN OUT AND AT ONLY 21,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE ON ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 20 YEARS, HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND AM NOT DRIVING ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE PAST. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME THE VEHICLE AS HE SAID IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS FORCED INTO CHANGING MY PADS FOR $300.00. PLEASE NOTE, I HAD ALREADY REPLACED MY FRONT BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTORS AS THEY ARE WORN OUT AT ONLY 15,961 MILES IN APR-2010. BUT FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT BRAKE AND ROTORS , SO I GOT THIS REIMBURSED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD "TOO BAD" AND NO RECALLS ON REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS AND THEY WOULD ONLY COVER UNTIL 12,000 MILES. I BROWSED AND SAW MANY HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. I THINK CHRYSLER HAS SOME INFERIOR QUALITY ON THESE PARTS ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE AND SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO RECALL. *TR

I BELIEVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE BADLY CONSTRUCTED. I HAVE JUST HAD MY 2ND ONE BUST WHILE TRYING TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. I AM LUCKY THAT BOTH TIMES THEY BROKE I WAS AT A PLACE THAT COULD IMMEDIATELY PUT IN A REGULAR VALVE STEM SO THAT I COULD STILL USE MY CAR.....BOTH TIMES MY TIRES DEFLATED BECAUSE THE TOP WHERE THE AIR IS PUT IN BROKE COMPLETELY OFF THE STEM.....MADE WITH ALUMINUM????? WHY???? NOW I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER ONES LEFT ON MY CAR TO BREAK......CAR IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD (2008 CHRYSLER TOWN N COUNTRY) THE 1ST ONE THAT BROKE WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE 2ND ONE WHICH PROMPTED THIS COMPLAINT.......THESE NEED TO BE EXAMINED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL....THEY NEED TO BE MADE TO LAST. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER ZONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS......I WOULD HATE TO BE DRIVING AND FOR ONE TO BREAK.....I FORESEE MAJOR LAWSUITS IF THIS HAPPENS. *TR

THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY 08 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ARE FAILING AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ONLY 27,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

THE RIGHT REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR ON THE 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY FAILS TO LATCH PROPERLY AND DOES NOT NOTIFY THE OPERATOR OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE DOOR WILL FAIL TO OPERATE IN THE CLOSING OPERATION WITH THE POWER SLIDING OPTION AND REQUIRES OPERATOR INTERVENTION TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR. IN MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE DOOR FAILS TO CLOSE PROPERLY, IIT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR TO GET THE LATCH MECHANISM TO ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OF THE DOOR TO LATCH CONSTITUTES A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO WARNING INDICATOR TO NOTIFY THE OPERATOR THAT THE DOOR HAS NOT LATCHED POSES A SEVERE SAFETY RISK TO THE OCCUPANTS. THE ONLY NOTIFICATION THE OPERATOR RECEIVES DURING THIS MALFUNCTION IS INCREASED ROAD NOISE DUE TO POOR SEALING BETWEEN THE DOOR AND DOOR FRAME. OCCUPANTS COULD BE EJECTED FROM THE UNLATCHED DOOR. THE MANUFACTURERS REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE CONCERN AND HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THE CONCERN OR SHOWN ANY INTEREST IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE. OTHER OWNERS OF CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VEHICLES HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR CONCERNS WITH THEIR POWER SLIDING REAR DOORS. *TR

STUCK CALIPERS AND SMOKING REAR WHEELS AT APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES. COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP WHICH HAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER NEW BRAKES AND CALIPERS AGAIN AND BEARINGS REPLACED, AGAIN THIS WAS DONE IN NOVEMBER 2010 CUSTOMER COMPLAINED OF REAR NOISES AS BRAKES STICKING OR SOME PROBLEM WITH BEARINGS THAT WERE REPLACED. DEALER FOUND "NO PROBLEM". 3/11/2011 HOWEVER THE CAR IS STILL MAKING NOISES AND CONCERN FOR SAFETY IS THE ISSUE FOR THE CUSTOMER. ALSO, THE DEFROSTER DO NOT ALWAYS WORK AND CUSTOMER HAS TO SCRAPE THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW TO SEE OUT. DEALER COULD NOT RE-CREATE. ALSO WHEN IT RAINS OR SLUSH THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR BANGS AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE. CUSTOMER ASKED DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ALSO ON 3/11/2011 AND STILL THE SAME ANSWER "COULD NOT RE-CREATE" AND FOUND NOTHING. CUSTOMER ASKED TO CHECK BRAKES, BEARINGS, CONVERTER AND DIFFERENTIAL ON 3/11/2011 FOR THE 4TH TIME AND AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE STEERING "CLOCK SPRING" WAS SUGGESTED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE "STEERING ANGLE SENSOR" WAS PART OF A WHOLE UNIT (THE CLOCK SPRING) AND CANNOT BE CHANGED SEPARATELY.

THE TPS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FULL BODY THROTTLE LAMP AND PCV VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,600.

VEHICLE STALLED ON SLOW RIGHT HAND TURNS. HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE DEAD, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE INDICATORS STOPPED BLINKING. VEHICLE RESTARTED EVERY TIME AFTER STOPPING AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK POSITION. CHRYSLER 5 STAR DEALER IN ELLINGTON CT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD THE IGNITION KEY MODULE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE IT DIED. THE DEALER DIDN'T THINK THE NEW MODULE COULD BE THE PROBLEM.

2008 CHRYSLER T & C BRAKES FAILING & NEED TO BE REPLACED @ 20000 MILES & 12 MO. OF OWNERSHIP. HAD REPLACED BY DEALER & NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AFTER JUST 13 MOS. & 20000 MILES MORE. CHRYSLER ADMITS TO A FLAW- THE BRAKES TOO SMALL FOR SIZE & WEIGHT OF VEHICLE. BRAKES NEED TO BE RECALLED & CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX FLAW. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS VAN USED IN MARCH 2010. IT HAS BEEN THE WORST VEHICLE WE HAVE EVER PURCHASED. PRIOR TO THIS 2008 MODEL, WE HAD A 2005. WE REALLY LIKED IT SO WE FIGURED WE'D UPGRADE SO TO SPEAK. THAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MISTAKE EVER. SINCE THEN WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS TWICE AND NOW IT NEEDS REAR BRAKE ROTORS. WHEN I AM BRAKING AT ANY SPEED THE VAN SHAKES. THE VAN FEELS COMPLETELY UNBALANCED FOR SOME REASON. WE HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE ON IT, NEW TIRES, A/C LINE BROKE, RADIO WOULD STOP WORKING, AND ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VAN HAD THIS WEIRD WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. THE STEERING IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND IT EITHER PULLS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN I BRAKE, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS TO SLOW. I HAVE 5 YOUNG CHILDREN AND I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN THIS VAN. UNFORTUNATELY NOT ONLY ARE WE WASTING MONEY ON REPAIRS, BUT WE'RE WASTING PRECIOUS TIME IN DEALERSHIPS/MECHANICS THAT COULD BE SPENT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. I REFUSE TO DRIVE HIGHER SPEEDS IN FEAR THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. IN NO WAY DO I HANDLE THIS VEHICLE IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER. I FOLLOW ALL SPEED LIMITS AND DO NOT RIDE THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT I REPEAT NOT NORMAL WEAR ON TEAR FOR ANY KIND OF VEHICLE! THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP TO US. WE HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT'S DOING NO GOOD SINCE IT'S NOT EVEN COVERED. WE WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN AND GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO DISCOURAGE OTHERS FROM BUYING THEM AS WELL. I
