DRIVING ON ROAD MOTOR JUST STOPPED FOR NO REASON , PUT IT IN (N ) TURN KEY STARTS BACK TO RUNNING, PUT BACK IN ( D ) AND GO ON DOWN ROAD .UNTIL THE NEXT TIME.

SOMETIME OVERNIGHT ON JAN 1/2ND 2019 MY VEHICLE STARTED ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN USE, WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY, AND HAD NOT BEEN IN USE SINCE THE MORNING BEFORE. THE FIRE MUST HAVE WENT OUT ON ITS OWN. BUT CAUSED DAMAGE TO BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE INSIDE OF THE VAN SMELLS HEAVILY OF ELECTRICAL SMOKE.

MY CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING, EASILY RESTARTS AFTER SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. HOWEVER, RPM GOES TO ZERO, LOSE POWER STEERING. DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO KEY FOB RECALL. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, USUALLY WHEN WEATHER IS COLDER LIKE 30 DEGREE. HAVE ALSO NOTICE BLIND SPOT AID SYSTEM WILL PERIODICALLY NOT FUNCTION. HEATED SEAT LIGHT OCCASIONALLY DO NOT FUNCTION. THE BLIND SPOT AND HEATED SEATS ARE MINOR COMPARED TO CAR STOPPING DEAD. IT DID RECENTLY WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AND WAS VERY SCARY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY STATE THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES SHOWING. I TOLD MY HUSBAND IF I DIE IN A VEHICLE CRASH, ESPECIALLY IF REAR ENDED OR WHILE TURNING TO SUE CHRYSLER. DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN WARM WEATHER. I'M AFRAID TO HAVE ANYONE IN MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY MY FIVE GRANDKIDS. I STAY OFF INTERSTATES BECAUSE OF THIS, AND HAVE SPENT MORE TIME LOOKING BEHIND ME FOR POSSIBLY GETTING REAR ENDED. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. ITS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WHILE GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME, DRIVING 55, 35, 25 MPH, WHILE GOING STRAIGHT, OR TWICE WHILE TURNING. I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR PERHAPS THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND KEY FOB RECALL. MY CAR HAS 84330 MILES. IT'S HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. FREQUENCY SEEMS TO BE GETTING GREATER.

LT LOW BEAM COMES ON FOR 3 SECONDS WHEN CAR IS UNLOCKED, THEN STAYS OFF MOST OF THE TIME. I'VE TRIED ALL SWITCH POSITIONS. OCCASIONALLY IT HAS COME ON FOR SUSTAINED PERIODS BUT THAT HASN'T HAPPENED FOR A WHILE. I'VE WIGGLED THE BULB CONNECTION WITH NO EFFECT. CHECKING ON LINE, I FOUND SIMILAR PROBLEMS SIMILAR PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. ACTED IGNORANT OF SUCH PROBLEMS AND CHECKED THE RECALL LIST. I'M LUCKY, IT ONLY HAPPENS ON ONE SIDE, BUT I'M UNEASY ABOUT WHEN THE OTHER SIDE GOES OUT. NOT TO MENTION GETTING A CITATION FOR A NON FUNCTIONING SAFETY ITEM.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHOLE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. NO LIGHTS, POWER STEERING GOES OUT, BRAKES LOCK UP AND ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS DRIVING.

YELLOW TRIANGLE,ABS,SRS ETC COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SCAN DIAGNOSIS SHOWS THAT C2200 ABS MODULE INTERNAL FAILURE, NEEDS SPECIAL PROGRAMMING. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THEN GOES OFF AGAIN FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN COMES ON AGAIN. BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE, HAD NEW BRAKES ETC PUT ON REAR EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I AM MOVING. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS.

MY VEHICLE WILL STOP AFTER I HAVE FINISHED DRIVING IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY. I WILL HAVE TO JUMP START MY BATTERY AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL START. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT OR FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME (MEANING OVER 6 HOURS). I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID IT A BIG PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTY. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS NOT WORKING RIGHT AND CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DRAIN OR NOT START. HE SAID THERE ARE RECALLS FOR VERY SIMILAR CARS AND MODELS, BUT CHECKED MY VIN AND IT WAS NOT ON MY VEHICLE. I NEED TO THE COMPANY TO LOOK INTO THIS AS THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR STOPS ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING.

SE ENCIENDE EL PANEL MARCANDO ABS. TAMBIN SE ABRE LAS PUERTAS COREDISA Y EL BAL ESTANDO EL CARO PARADO. HAY VECES QUE SE QUEDA PEGADO Y TENGO QUE ESPERAR QUE EL SISTEMA QUIERA PARA PODER CERRAR LAS PUERTAS Y / EL BAL. ME A PASADO VARIAS VECES.

MOTOR SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS UP TO 40 MPH. WITH ENGINE SHUT OFF VERY HARD TO STEER OR APPLY BRAKES. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND IT WILL START BACK UP. WHEN MOTOR SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.CAR SHUTS DOWN ON CITY STREETS AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AS THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN. ONLY LIGHT THAT APPEARS ON DASH IS THE TRACTION CONTROL WHEN THE MOTOR SHUTS DOWN. HAVE NOW QUIT USING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF DANGEROUS CONDITION IT CREATES

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON EXPRESSWAY THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY CRACKED IN HALF CAUSING UNCONTROLABLE UNSTABLE/SWAYING MOTION WHICH IN TURN CAUSED DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER 15 MPH IMPOSSIBLE. I BELEIVE THAT IF I WERE DRIVING AT NORMAL HWY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE FLIPPED OVER OR CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

MY VAN STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND WOULD NOT RESTART. IT WAS NOT MAKING ANY NOISE AT THIS TIME, WHEN IT COOLED DOWN IT RESTARTED AND THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING.

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AS IF IN IGNITION MODE. I CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTART WITHOUT TROUBLE. THE 2014 RECALL WAS COMPLETED FOR THE KEY FOB AND IGNITION SWITCH. I ONLY HAVE ONE KEY AND PLASTIC CARDS ON THE FOB. THE MECHANICS CAN FIND NO CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IT WILL SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON . WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE ALL STEERING AND POWER TO THE ENGINE . IT DOES THIS ON TURNS , HILLS, AND EVEN HIGHWAYS.

WE WHERE DRIVING IN FLORIDA ON VACATION ON JUNE 12, 2017 WHEN OUR 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STARTED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS . THE WIPERS WOULDN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL THE WIPER MOTOR BURNED UP , THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULDN'T STOP MOVING FORWARD AND BACK , THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T GO DOWN , AC WENT OUT , THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD LIGHT UP AND ALL THE LIGHTS STAYED ON , THE SPEEDOMETER WAS DEAD , THE GAS GAUGE WAS DEAD , THE TURN SIGNALS DIDN'T WORK , THE DVD PLAYERS DIDN'T WORK . WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT . IT THEN DID IT AGAIN AND IT WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING . ON THE WAY HOME ON I-95 IT STARTED AGAIN . WHEN WE GOT HOME WE TOOK IT TO A GARAGE THAT DEALS WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND HE FOUND OUT IT WAS A DVD PLAYER IN THE FRONT THAT WAS MAKING IT GO NUTS . HE DISCONNECTED IT AND ITS OK BUT NOW NOTHING WORKS , LIKE THE 3 DVD PLAYERS, THE HEATED MIRRORS , THE REMOTE START . THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY .

VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHTS ARE ON IN DASHBOARD. CANNOT STEER VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS ON. VEHICLE BECOME RESPONSIVE AFTER TURNING BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED ENTERING A MAIN ROAR. BOTH TIMES HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING UNDER 20MPH.

VALVE STEM TIP CAME OFF WHILE REMOVING THE CAP TO PUT AIR IN TIRE. TIRE KEEP GOING FLAT. CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. ALUMINUM VALVE STEM CORRODED JUST FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SOME COMPLAINTS SAID THERE'S CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING

TIRE VALES CORRODS/CAUSES WHEEL CORROSION. NEED TO REPLACE ALL TIRE VALVES INCLUDING SENSORIES. ONCE TIRE VALVES CORRODES AIR DEFLATES OUT OF TIRES IMMEDIATLY WHICH CAN CAUSE A DANGER TO ON THE ROAD AND CAN CRASH. THE CORROSION IS CAUSED FROM THE VALVES NOT BEING MADE OF RUBBER. THIS IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY LIVING IN CERTAIN WHEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS FILLING MY TIRES UP WITH AIR BECAUSE SENSOR CAME ON IN CAR SAYING PRESSURE WAS LOW, THE VALVES IN THE REAR BACK OF VEHICLE ONE BROKE OFF AS SOON AS I WENT TO PUT AIR IN AND THE OTHER THE CASSING EXPLODED OFF WHEN AIR WAS BEING PUT IN TIRE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL IS CORRODED DUE TO VALVE CORROSION. THANKFULLY I WENT TO MY MECHANIC IMMEDIATLY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THAT LIVED DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR WITH ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AND RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THESE TIRE VAVLES.

SUDDEN ENGINE SHUTOFF: THE ENGINE HAS STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AT LOW SPEED, ABOUT 20 MPH, CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO BE LOST. THERE ARE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OR ALARMS AT ALL THAT COME ON, EXCEPT FOR THE SKID WARRING LIGHT. THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES RECORDED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CANNOT BE REPRODUCED TO BE REPAIRED. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW, TWICE IN ONE DAY, BUT USUALLY DAYS APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND 65 MPH RESPECTIVELY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPITZER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM CLEVELAND (13001 BROOKPARK RD, BROOK PARK, OH 44142, (440) 220-5805) AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

VAN WILL STALE WHEN DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A CODE. THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTH.

THE WHEEL / TIRE AIR VALVE STEMS CORRODES AND BREAKS. THE TIRE LOOSES ALL AIR PRESSURE AND NEEDS REPAIR. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING, IT COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING ISSUE! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OF MY WHEELS SO FAR. NOTE: I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW AND SALT IS USED ON THE ROADS.

THE REAR AIR DEFLECTOR LOCATED ON THE BACK LIFTGATE FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE IS A MANUFACTURED PART.

HELLO, CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE 'TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE' (TIPM) IN MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LX, 3.3L MINIVAN? HOW TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH IT? ARE THERE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH IT? MY VAN EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING RANDOM CONDITIONS' 1.) HORN STOPS WORKING AFTER REPEATED USE. IT WILL WORK AGAIN AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME. RECENTLY, I HAVE PUSHED ON THE HORN AND IT WILL BLOW AND THEN CUT OUT AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS HAPPEN WHETHER THE VAN IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. 2.) STARTER WILL ROTATE THE ENGINE BUT ENGINE WILL NOT FIRE. THIS IS VERY INFREQUENT BUT HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE WORSE. ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY START AND RUN FINE. AND THE NEXT TIME IT NEEDS TO START IT WILL WITHOUT ISSUE. ALSO, ONE TIME DURING THE SAME DAY THAT THIS HAPPENED, THE ENGINE STARTED BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY DIED.IT STARTED AND RAN FINE AFTER THAT. VAN WAS ALWAYS STATIONARY. 3.)CENTER MOUNTED REAR BRAKE LIGHT WILL LOOK VERY DIM OR NOT WORK AT ALL ONE DAY, AND THEN WORK THE NEXT. VAN WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. 4.)CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THEN IT WILL. THIS WAS HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AGO BUT HAS NOT HAPPENED LATELY. VAN WAS IN MOTION. THESE SITUATIONS HAVE HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VAN IN 2012. AM I AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER OF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING WHEN THEY SHOULD? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING IN A PARKING LOT. THE VAN HAD BEEN RUNNING AND IN MOTION FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO ARRIVING AT THE PARKING LOT WHERE IT WAS THEN PLACED INTO PARK AND LEFT RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR MY KIDS TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL. RADIO ON, HEAT ON THEN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, LOST ALL POWER. I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO THE OFF POSITION ALLOWING ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY TO THE VARIOUS POSITIONS TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AUTO LOCKS WOULD NOT UNLOCK, THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES IN A PANIC TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW CARS I WAS BLOCKING WERE GOING TO GET OUT OF THEIR PARKING SPOTS. THEN THE VAN SUDDENLY STARTED UP ON ITS OWN. MY HANDS WERE NOT ON THE KEYS, NOWHERE NEAR THE IGNITION AND IT JUST STARTED UP. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IN MOTION AND EVEN WORSE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED???? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE DID RECEIVE THE RECALL FIX FOR THE ISSUE WITH IGNITION A COUPLE YEARS BACK AND NOW I WONDER IF THAT WAS EVEN THE REAL ISSUE SINCE MY VAN RANDOMLY SHUT OFF ON ME FOR NO REASON AT ALL WHATSOEVER. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER OFFICIAL REPORTS BUT A GOOGLE SEARCH PULLS UP MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THIS YEAR WITH VARIOUS YEARS OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY AND THE REPORTS ARE RECENT.

FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE OWNING THE CAR I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR BRAKE CALIPERS, BECAUSE THEY SEIZED UP AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL, CAUSING THE FRONT PADS TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, UNDERSIZED CALIPERS/BRAKES THAT HEAT UP EXCESSIVELY, CAUSING THEM TO SEIZE. I DRIVE ON FLAT NJ HIGHWAYS, SO THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN DRIVING INVOLVED, THAT COULD OVERHEAT THE BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME, EACH SIZED FAILED SEPARATELY AND THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD, AS IF JUST 1 SEIZES, BOTH REAR BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE FAILURE, OTHER THAN IT FEELING FUNNY, WHEN YOU BRAKE. I FIND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON WEBSITES LIKE LEMONLAW.COM

VAN DASH LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. VAN WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH ALL ELECTRICAL DYING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN SITTING AT A LIGHT OR SLOWING TO YIELD TO TRAFFIC REPLACED ALTERNATOR, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. JOSTLING THE BATTERY CABLES WILL RESTART ELECTRIC SYSTEM. NEW BATTERY, CABLES ARE SECURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MILNE'S AUTO GROUP, 1900 S CEDAR ST, IMLAY, MICHIGAN, 48444), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED IN 2012. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA; HOWEVER, NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN THE PAST; HOWEVER, IT WENT AWAY UNTIL RECENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

DRIVING ON A STATE ROUTE AT MIDNIGHT, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE JUST BLEW. WE GOT THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LONG STORY SHORT, AN "ANGEL" STOPPED AND CHANGED THE TIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING THE VAN THAT A TIRE BLEW WHILE DRIVING. I WAS VERY LUCKY. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SENSOR VALVE ON THE TIRE HAD JUST CRACKED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH RUBBER SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE NEWER CARS. SHOULDN'T THIS BE RECALLED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE NOW I AM AFRAID THAT THE OTHER 2 TIRES MIGHT DO THE SAME. I AM 79 YEARS OLD AND I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR BUT I ALSO CAN'T GO AROUND WORRYING EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE, IF ANYTHING. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.

THE VAN HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ITS MAKER- CHRYSLER WHICH IS WITH MOTOR OF THE STOW-N-GO. THE BACK SEAT THE MOTOR DOES NOT WORK ON HALF OF THE SEAT MAKING THE SEAT LOOK "BENT" AND UNABLE TO BE USED.UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE MAKER IS AWARE OF AND MANY OF THE MOTORS GO OUT. THIS IS WHY IT'S A VERY HARD PART TO REPLACE COSTING ABOUT 4000 AS IT NEEDS TO BE MADE BRAND NEW.THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THE FRUSTRATION IS THAT MOPAR (CHRYSLER) WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER OFFERING ANY KIND OF ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED WARRANTY EXPIRED. THIS, HOWEVER IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY ARE KEEPING QUIET ABOUT AS THEY CAN'T CALL IT A RECALL WHEN IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A "SAFETY" CONCERN. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IF MY CHILD CAN'T SIT IN THE SEAT. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SEAT IS NOT SAFE TO SIT IN. SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR AT MOPAR WHO DISMISSED ME PROMPTLY. WOULD NOT OFFER TO HELP WITH ANYTHING SINCE "THE VEHICLE HAS 105,000 MILES ON IT" UNSURE WHY THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THIS WOULDN'T BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO WANT TO HELP. WILL NOT EVEN ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF BUYING AN AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE AGAIN. THIRD TIME OWNING A CHRYSLER/DOGE VEHICLE WITH MAJOR ISSUES. THIS IS WHY OUR ECONOMY CAN'T BOUNCE BACK-TOO MUCH DISHONESTY!!

THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, BLINK, AND A RED LIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH COMES ON AND BEEPS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE WITHOUT USING THE SWITCH. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS? IS THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE?

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2009 TOWN AND COUNTRY WHEN A VEHICLE CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND STRUCK ME HEAD ON. THE IMPACT FROM COLLISION LEFT ME SERIOUSLY INJURED AND I WAS TRANSPORTED BY HELICOPTER TO THE NEAREST TRAUMA CENTER. NEITHER MY FRONT OF SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE COLLISION. I SUFFERED A BROKEN ARM FROM THE SIDE IMPACT AND A DISLOCATED HIP, PELVIC FRACTURE, AND PATELLA INJURIES FROM THE FRONT IMPACT. I AM UNSURE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE CONTAINED DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS, BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS REGARDING WHY THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

TIMP IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT TIMES. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE FOR 1 YEAR. *TR
