2010 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

BRAND NEW CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2010 WITH 600 MILES ON IT BLEW A GASKET ON THE RETURN LINE TO THE RADIATOR THAT SPRAYED COOLANT OVER THE ENGINE BLOCK. STEAM ROSE FROM UNDER THE HOOD IN LARGE VOLUME NEARLY BLINDING ME AS I DROVE. WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND LIFTED THE HOOD THE STEAM CLOUD BURNED MY FACE. *TR

AT ZERO MILES, CAR WAS LEAKING OIL. AT FIRST, CHRYSLER DEALER CLAIMED CRACKED OIL PAN BUT AFTER REPLACING AND LEAK STILL PERSISTED. AFTER RETURNING CAR, IT WAS DISCOVERED GALLEY PLUG WAS CROSS THREADED LEADING TO LEAK. HOLE HAD TO BE RETHREADED AND NEW PLUG INSERTED PROPERLY. SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAK COULD HAVE LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE AND FAILURE. *TR

2010 TOWN & COUNTRY BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE HOME FROM CHURCH WITH MY CHILDREN IN CAR. DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH AND THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT DOWN...ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRIC CEASED TO FUNCTION. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. ONCE STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND RAN NORMALLY. THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW, 18 DAYS IN OUR POSSESSION. DEALER INSPECTED CAR AND COULD NOT REPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ON MARCH 14TH, THE INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ABOVE HAPPENED AGAIN. CAR BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR A SECOND TIME AND ONCE AGAIN THEY CANNOT FIND OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS 1800 MILES ON IT AND MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THE LEMON LAW AS IT PERTAINS TO A SAFETY ISSUE WITH A NEW VEHICLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFTED TWICE WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE RPM'S TO RISE TO 5000. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY TRADED IN HIS 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ELECTRONIC SENSOR. HE HAS REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER BUY BACK THE 2010 VEHICLE SINCE IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 2,600.

I HAVE A 2008 CHRYSLER MINIVAN STOW & GO, ON MAR 12, 2010 I TOOK IT TO DAVE DENNIS CHRYS.DODGE,JEEP, ON COL GLEN HWY IN DAYTON, WHEN GOT THE BILL & READY TO GO, THEY TOLD ME I WAS DUE FOR A TIRE ROTATION, SO I MADE AN APPT. FOR MAR 19,2010 AT 1P.M. AFTER WAITING OVER AN HOUR THE SERVICE LADY CAME OUT & TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW ROTORS & BRAKE PADS, I TOLD HER I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THAT AS THE VAN HAS ONLY 21,000 MILES ON IT, WILL BE 3 YRS. OLD THIS COMING OCT. SHE SAID THEY WERE SEEING BAD BRAKES AT 16,000MI, I ASK WHY THE ROTORS, WHY NOT JUST THE BRAKE PADS, BUT COULDN'T IMAGINE EITHER ONE WAS BAD. SHE SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLACE JUST THE PADS AS THERE WASN'T SPACE ON THE ROTORS TO DO THAT. I WAS REALLY UPSET, WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO NEVER HAVE THEIR TIRES ROTATED & ARE DANGEROUSLY DRIVING WITH BAD BRAKES. I FEEL THESE BRAKES SHOULD BE ON A CO. RECALL IF THEIR ALL LIKE THEY SAY. I'M TAKING MY VAN TO A PRIVATELY OWNED GARAGE TO HAVE THEM CHECKED OUT AT 10 A.M. ON MAR.23,2010, IT'S PRETTY BAD WHEN YOU PAY OVER $30,000 FOR A VEHICLE & IN 16,000 MILES OR MORE THE BRAKES NEED REPLACED. I"M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEFORE THE ACCIDENTS & DEATHS START TO HAPPEN. THESE BRAKES SYSTEMS ARE EITHER A FAULTY DESIGN OR BELOW GRADE MATERIAL PUT IN THEM, I'D LIKE YOU TO INVESTIGATE IT. I THINK THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE 2008 MODEL VEHICLES & THE TROUBLES ARE JUST BEGINNING TO START. *TR
