2009 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

THE POWER DOORS, BOTH SIDES AND THE REAR HATCH, OPEN AT RANDOM, EITHER WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF OR WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUND MY VEHICLE ON THE STREET WITH A DOOR OPEN, ONCE DURING A SNOW STORM AND THE INSIDE WAS INUNDATED WITH SNOW. I'M AFRAID I MIGHT FIND A HOMELESS PERSON SLEEPING THERE OR A NEST OF SKUNKS PERHAPS, OR MAYBE STRIPPED CLEAN BY A THIEF. THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN ELIMINATED AS A SUSPECT OF INADVERTENTLY OPERATING THE DOORS. ONCE I CLOSED A SIDE DOOR WITH THE BUTTON ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, IT REOPENED. ON THREE INCIDENCES DOORS OPENED WHILE DRIVING. THIS I ASSUME TO BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. IMAGINE IF THE REAR WAS PACKED WITH LUGGAGE OR GROCERIES AND THE HATCHED OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE THE CAR DRIVING BEHIND ME! THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 09/08/09 AND CURRENTLY HAS 4400 MILES ON IT. THESE EVENTS HAPPEN SPORADICALLY AND I HAVE YET TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK INTO IT (I HAD TO CANCEL THE FIRST APPOINTMENT DUE TO A SNOWSTORM) BUT I SUSPECT THEY WILL THINK I'M CRAZY JUST AS I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS CRAZY WHEN THE FIRST TIME SHE TOLD ME THE REAR HATCH OPENED WHILE DRIVING. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME A FEW MONTHS LATER. AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN MORE RECENTLY. *TR

DURING THE PROCESS, HE LOST HIS BALANCE AND FELL AGAINST THE BUTTONS ON THE SIDE THAT OPERATE THE SEAT FOLDING CLOSURE. THE BACKS OF BOTH SEATS BEGAN TO FOLD FORWARD. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO STOP THE MOVEMENT BY PUSHING THE BUTTONS, BUT THEY KEPT FOLDING. THEY FINALLY CAME TO STOP AND THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE REST OF HIS BAGS.
