2010 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THE PAST MONTH, THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE TRAVELING. IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WE WERE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE WHEN IT SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS HAPPENING, BUT CHRYSLER SAYS THIS PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ITS 2011 RECALL FOR A FAULTY IGNITION (OR ANY RECALL). WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE THAT SHUTS DOWN FOR NO REASON WHILE IN MOTION. *TR

BURNING RUBBER SMELL AROUND THE REAR BRAKE AREA. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY DETERMINED 2 PROBLEMS. THE CALIPER D'S WERE BAD WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE BRAKES WERE BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY OUR TENTH CHRYSLER VAN WE HAVE LEASED AND NEVER HAVE WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WAS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE HEADLIGHTS START FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND BRIGHT AND DIM. IT WAS HAPPENING INDIVIDUALLY, SO ONE LIGHT MAY BE ON AND THE OTHER ONE OFF. FINALLY THEY BOTH STOPPED AND IT WAS ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKING. NOTHING WOULD MAKE THEM WORK. DROVE LATER THAT SAME NIGHT AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL I TURNED MY LIGHTS ON BRIGHT. I ALMOST HAD A WRECK WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM AND RECALL OR EXTEND FREE REPAIRS FOR THIS ASAP BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT. IT WAS 2/14/2013 WHEN THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE HAPPENED AND IS CONSISTENTELY HAPPENING. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENS ON ITS OWN WITH THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. UPON LEAVING MY VEHICLE, I CHECK TO MAKE SURE ALL OF THE DOORS ARE CLOSED. AT RANDOM TIMES, DAY OR NIGHT, THE DOOR WILL OPEN. THE KEY FAB ARE SOMETIMES NOT EVEN IN RANGE. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES, AND GAS PEDAL ALL LOCK UP LEAVING THE DRIVER UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 10 OCCASIONS. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE. CORPORATE WAS NOTIFIED AND SENT OUT A CORPORATE MECHANIC WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS LOCKED THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES (SINCE THE LAST ATTEMPTED REPAIR) AND BOTH THE DEALERSHIP (WHO IS NOW REFUSING TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE) AND CORPORATE (WHO HAVE NOT RETURNED CALLS OR EMAILS) HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. AFTER CONDUCTING AN INTERNET SEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE--IT HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE NHTSA AS WELL AS ON OTHER WEBSITES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF ITS CONSUMERS. *TR

THE ENGINE DIES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. IT HAPPENED ON BOTH DECEMBER 15 AND DECEMBER 17. THE FIRST TIME WAS I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BOTH TIMES WITH SOME DIFFICULTY SINCE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. AFTER PULLING OVER, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THE LOCAL DEALER IN TERRE HAUTE, IN INFORMED US THAT SINCE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE DID NOT INDICATE A PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ANY FIXES THAT ARE NOT INDICATED AS NECESSARY BY THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY OUR WARRANTY. *TR

TRAVELING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE CHEVY SILVERADO APPLIED HIS BRAKES ALL OF A SUDDEN. TRIED TO CHANGE LANES, BUT COULDN'T AS THERE WAS CARS PRESENT. HIT THE SILVERADO IN THE MIDDLE TO DRIVERS SIDE FRONT END. BEING THE MAIN POINT OF CONTACT. YET THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, AS THE FRAME WAS BENT AND THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGED TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

OCTOBER 1, 2012 STARTED WITH DEAD BATTERY. AFTER PICKING UP "FIXED" VEHICLE AFTER TWO WEEKS AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OFF LOT, THE VAN WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK. AFTER PLAYING WITH IT, IT FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RETURNED VAN - IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. NOW DECEMBER 13. VAN STILL IN REPAIR. HAVE REPLACED TIPM TWICE AND PCM. $1,600. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM BEFORE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS 40000 MILES ON IT. APPROXIMATELY AFTER A MONTH OF OWNING IT, THE TMPS VALVE STEM BROKE OFF THE TIRE WHILE REFILLING WITH AIR. THE SENSOR HAS NOW BROKEN OFF THREE SEPARATE TIRES. I RESEARCHED WHETHER THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND FOUND OUT THAT IS HAS BEEN. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED? THESE VALVE STEMS ARE ALUMINUM, NOT RUBBER AND THEY CORRODE QUICKLY. ALSO, THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO REPLACE APPROX. $100 EA. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS FROM FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

AT FIRST I NOTICED THAT THE AUTO HEADLIGHTS DID NOT COME ON IN MY DARKENED GARAGE LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. THEN WHEN I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL DID NOT COME ON. ONCE THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND A FEW HOURS LATER, THE LIGHTS WORKED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES, IN A VERY INTERMITTENT FASHION. ONCE THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. ANOTHER TIME, THE LIGHTS REMAINED OFF EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK USING ONLY FOG LIGHTS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE LIGHTS WILL WORK WHEN I NEED THEM AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. *TR

FRONT BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 9,000 MILES. CHRYSLER SENT LETTER STATING THEY WERE COVERING FRONT BRAKES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD ( NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW LONG). NOW AT 15,500 MILES I NEED FRONT BRAKES DONE AGAIN AND HAD REAR BRAKES DONE AT 15,500 MILES WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR BECAUSE THEY WERE ONLY COVERING FOR 12,000 MILES. HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL, THEY ARE JUST HELPING THOSE CUSTOMERS WITH ISSUES. HAVING ISSUES DEALING WITH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LEAK WATER FROM THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN GROMMET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO ILLUMINATION OF THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BUT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT A DEFECT AND INSTEAD WAS SIMPLY A FRACTURED PART. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES BEGIN TO PULSATE ABNORMALLY, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE.

ON 3 OCCASIONS, WHEN I TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY, THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN AS IF THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE CAR. IT TAKES OVER AN HOUR OF FIDDLING WITH REINSERTING THE KEY TO GET IT TO ACTUALLY TURN OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT PARK AND LEAVE MY CAR WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING WITHOUT A KEY EVEN IN THE IGNITION. SOMEONE COULD GET INSIDE AND DRIVE AWAY WITHOUT NEEDING A KEY....NOT TO MENTION CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IN A GARAGE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE. *JS

MY VAN HAS BEEN SHAKING UPON BRAKING AND RECENTLY HAS BEGUN MAKING A RUBBING NOISE. WHEN TAKEN IN FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION THEY SAID THAT MY REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ALREADY NEED REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS UNCOMMON FOR NEWER VEHICLES WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT TO NEED REPLACEMENTS AND THAT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN RECALLED. IT HAS NOT BEEN, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT IT'S HAPPENING TO MANY OWNERS. I LOVE MY VAN, AND WOULD LOVE FOR CHRYSLER TO STEP UP AND REPLACE THE FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. *JS

A FEW MONTHS AGO A SQUEAKING NOISE BEGAN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE END OF MARCH I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEARLERSHIP TO HAVE THE SQUEAK LOOKED AT AS WELL AS HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED (AT THE TIME THE VEHICLES MILEAGE WAS 22,160). SERVICE ADVISOR REPORTED THAT THE SQUEAKING WAS LIKELY THE RESULT OF THE REAR BRAKES AND WAS NOT UNCOMMON. THE SQUEAK HAS CONTINUED. SET UP ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 17TH TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AGAIN. SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT THE SQUEAKING ISSUE IS INDEED STILL THE REAR BRAKES, THEY ARE NOT BAD AND THE PADS ARE HALF GONE BUT DOES NOT RECOMMEND THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME. AS OF JUNE 19TH, THE SQUEAK CONTINUES AND AT TIMES GET'S WORSE. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY THE BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN I AM NOT EVEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES, WHY ARE THEY NOT REPLACING THE REAR BRAKES WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAD MORE WEAR AND TEAR DUE TO THE FRONT BRAKE ISSUE THEY DID ADDRESS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT FAULT ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL. *JS

DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE HEADLIGHTS START FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND BRIGHT AND DIM. IT WAS HAPPENING INDIVIDUALLY, SO ONE LIGHT MAY BE ON AND THE OTHER ONE OFF. FINALLY THEY BOTH STOPPED AND IT WAS ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKING. NOTHING WOULD MAKE THEM WORK. DROVE LATER THAT SAME NIGHT AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL I TURNED MY LIGHTS ON BRIGHT. WIFE ALMOST HAD A WRECK WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM AND RECALL OR EXTEND FREE REPAIRS FOR THIS ASAP BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TERRAIN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION). THE REPAIRS WERE MADE IN JANUARY 2012. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

HAVE HAD T&C 2010 VAN FOR 2 YEARS - OUR 11TH CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND OUR 3RD CHRYSLER VAN. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE ON THIS SITE BEFORE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH REAR BRAKES & ROTORS? I HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM - LESS THAN 39,000 MILES FOR METAL ON METAL - REPLACEMENT OF PADS & ROTORS - NOT ABLE TO EVEN TURN THE ROTORS THEY WERE THAT BAD. CHRYSLER'S ANSWER? SORRY WE CAN'T REIMBURSE YOU - I WASN'T LOOKING FOR $$ - I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED & WHAT IS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IN ANOTHER 20K OR 30K? I ASKED FOR SOMEONE HIGHER UP - SHE SAID SHE WAS THE CASE MGR. I ASKED FOR THE CEO'S NAME - SHE COULDN'T GIVE IT OUT - SERIOUSLY? I SAID I'D GET IT ON LINE. WE HAVE A 2005 SEBRING THAT JUST HAD ITS FIRST SET OF FRONT & REAR PADS AND ROTORS AT 105,000 MILES - SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS - COUNTRY ROADS AND AN OCCASIONAL TRIP TO CHICAGO. SO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO OUR VAN? THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER WON'T ADMIT IT IS USING CHEAP PARTS. DOES IT ONLY CONCERN THEM WHEN THERE IS AN INJURY OR DEATH? IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE BRAKES FAIL? I DON'T BLAME THE DEALER - THEY ARE THE STOOGES AND DO WHAT CHRYSLER TELLS THEM. AND NOW THEY ARE DISCONTINUING THE TOWN & COUNTRY AND WILL ONLY HAVE THE GRAND CARAVAN - WHY IS THAT? LET'S HOPE THEY PUT BETTER BRAKE SYSTEMS ON THEM FROM HERE ON OUT. IS THERE ANYWAY WE CAN ALL BAND TOGETHER AND GET SOME ANSWERS????? WE DON'T HAVE $400 TO KEEP SHELLING OUT - WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO PAY OFF THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT INDEPENDENTLY FAILED TO LOCK INTO PARK AND ROLLED FORWARD.

THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

FIRST I JUST FOUND THIS SITE. I BOUGHT THIS VAN ON APRIL 30,2011. IN JUNE I WAS PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION AND VAN SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT THAT IS WEIRD. THEN AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES FROM THEN. ON AUGUST 31,2011 I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME WE WENT ONTO THE MEDIAN TAKING OUT THE FRONT END, TIRES TRANNY, OIL PAN, ECT. MY KIDS WERE WITH ME. THEN I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE ON IT. I WENT THROUGH MY INSURANCE CUZ I DIDN'T KNOW I WASN'T SUPPOSE TO. ALL CHRYSLER DID WAS PUT A RUBBER RING IN THE ING. TO KEEP THE KEY FROM SHUTTING OFF. THEY WONT DO ANYTHING ELSE TO HELP. IM PAYING FOR A CERTIFIED CAR. ITS NOT RIGHT. NOW THERE'S PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO, ALL THE ELECTRICAL. THE KEY FIX BROKE MY KEY AND HAD TO TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER, OH CHRYSLER WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR THAT BUT WANTED THE OLD. I HAVE NIGHTMARES OF IT HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE ACCIDENT REALLY MESSED UP MY CURRENT CHRONIC CONDITIONS. THE DEALERSHIPS HAD TO OF BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY STILL SOLD THIS VAN TO THE CONSUMERS. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. I NEED A LAWYER WILLING TO HELP ME GET OUT FROM UNDER THIS VAN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A PRE CERTIFIED VEHICLE THAT WAS IN ACCIDENT DO TO CHRYSLERS FAULT. WE ALL NEED TO TAKE ACTION. DON'T YOU THINK? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION). AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN WHICH THE ACCESSORY FUNCTIONS WOULD DISABLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ABOVE 5 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE CONTACT HAD TO TOGGLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 T&C VAN AT NIGHT. DEALER DETERMINED THE TIPM MODULE TO BE DEFECTIVE. THERE ARE OVER 300 OF THESE MODULES ON BACK ORDER IN THE USA. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM OF HEADLIGHT FAILURE WHILE DRIVING THE T&C VAN SINCE ABOUT 2006. THE DEALER COULD NOT PROVIDE ME A DATE THE REPLACEMENT MODULE WOULD BE AVAILABLE, BUT I HAD TO PAY $663.89 UP FRONT FOR THEM TO ORDER IT. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL NOW WITH THIS DEFECTIVE MODULE. I NOW HAVE A DAY TIME, CLEAR DAY ONLY VAN SINCE MY STATE REQUIRED HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE FRONT ROTORS, WHICH WERE WORN PREMATURELY. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ALONG WITH THE FAILURE OF THE REAR ROTORS AND THE REAR BRAKES. THE FRONT ROTORS, REAR ROTORS AND THE REAR BRAKES ALL NEEDED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR CRUNCHING NOISE WHILE BRAKING WHICH WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING & THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PULSATING DURING BRAKING. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT & SAID THAT THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 19,600 MILES AND SUPPOSEDLY NOT COVERED UNDER ANY OF THE WARRANTIES THAT WE HAVE AND WE HAVE THEM ALL. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AT ALL. I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR WHICH NEEDED ROTORS TO BE REPLACE WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS SEEMS LIKE A QUALITY ISSUE. *TR

OUR VAN HAS HAD A DEAD BATTERY 5 TIMES NOW SINCE WE PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT'S NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD YET. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, WE CALL THE DEALER AND HAVE TO TAKE IT IN TO THEM ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL US THAT SOMETHING IS PROBABLY DRAINING THE BATTERY, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO SAY WHAT. THEY CHARGE THE BATTERY & SEND US ON OUR WAY, BUT THEY AREN'T RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. THIS ISN'T THE RELIABLE VEHICLE THAT WE THOUGHT WE PURCHASED.

THE CARGO DOOR OF THE CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY RENTED FROM ALAMO AT KE-AHOLE AIRPORT ON JAN. 18, 2012 IS ELECTRIC AND DOES NOT HAVE A WARNING DEVICE OR STOP SENSOR WHEN BEING OPERATED (UNCERTAIN OF THE MODEL YEAR- 2010 OR 2011) . MY WIFE DID NOT REALIZE THE CARGO DOOR WAS CLOSING AS SHE WAS WEARING A HAT AND WALKING BY IT. THE DOOR CAME DOWN ON THE CENTER OF HER HEAD CAUSING SEVERE PAIN. AS I AM A PHYSICIAN I EXAMINED HER AND MADE THE APPROPRIATE DECISION. WE RETURNED THE CAR TO ALAMO RENTAL AND I SPOKE TO ADDIS, THE MANAGER, WHO PROMISED TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT TO HIS COMPANY. FORTUNATELY, AS OF TODAY MY WIFE IS IMPROVED BUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUBDURAL HEMATOMA OVER THE NEXT 30 DAYS IS STILL A POSSIBILITY AND SHE WILL HAVE TO BE OBSERVED FOR ANY DEVELOPING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. CHRYSLER IS NEGLIGENT IN THIS MATTER AND SHOULD INSTALL THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY DEVICES ON ALL SUCH VEHICLES. *TR

THIS HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS FROM THE DEALER. I WOULD BE DRIVING AND HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VAN , I HAD TO COME TO A STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN START IT UP AGAIN.VERY DANGEROUS. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS A TIRE WENT FLAT LESS THEN A YEAR OF HAVING THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE TIRE REPAIR MECHANIC THAT THERE WAS A PLUG AND THESE ARE 2008 TIRES AND 2007 RIMS AND THAT TUBE WHERE THE AIR GOES IN WAS BRASS AND IT SHOULD NOT BE.HE SEEMED TO THINK THEY GAVE US USED TIRE AND RIMS ON OUR VEHICLE. HE SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS WHERE A DEALER PUTS THE NEWER RIMS AND TIRES ON ANOTHER VECHICLE TO SELL IT AND US UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS DID NOT KNOW THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE FRONT BRAKE DISK RECALL REPAIR WAS BEING PERFORMED THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE REAR BRAKE DISKS ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

ENGINE STALLS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE MODE. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS. I CONTACTED DEALER & MANUFACTURER BUT THERE IS NO RECALL HISTORY WITH IT AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANY SERVICE EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL THEY PROVE IT OR SOME KIND OF DIAGNOSTIC IN ENGINE. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK MODE AND RESTART THE ENGINE THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN-SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT A FAILURE CODE WAS NOT DETECTED. IN ADDITION, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. UPDATED 03/05/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABRUPT DOWN SHIFT OCCURRED WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN FOR A STEEP INCLINE. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, BLOWER MOTOR AND HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THEN CAME BACK ON.

SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY OPENS AND CLOSES AT WILL. HAS CAUGHT SEVERAL CHILDREN WITH OUT REOPENING UPON CONTACT. CONTINUE TO STALL AFTER RECALL AS DID BEFORE RECALL FIX. BATTERY CAUSED CORROSION TO EAT AWAY CABLES. EVEN WHEN SERVICED LIKE SUPPOSED TO. LEATHER SEATS RIPPED WITHIN 2 MTHS OF PURCHASE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. ELECTRICALLY GAS MILEAGE FLUCTUATES ALL THE TIME EXAMPLE 410 ON FILL UP THEN 2 MILES DN ROAD IT SAYS 60 MILES LEFT ETC. YET CHRYSLER DEALER CLAIMS ALL THE TIME NO DX ON ANYTHING. JUST SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN TODAY AS WAS TURNING ENDED UP HALF IN ROAD THANK GOD CAR BEHIND PAYING ATTENTION AND DUMP TRUCK WAS COMING ALSO PAID ATTENTION OR ELSE DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT SEVERELY. NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER THAT'S MY RESPONSE. THEN HAD TOWED DEALER SAID WAS RELAY SWITCH THEY CHANGED IT BROUGHT ME THE VEHICLE THEN I WENT TO DRIVE OUT AND IT DIED AGAIN SO I GUESS NOT. *KB *TR
