2001 Chrysler Town & Country Visibility & Wipers Problems

POWER WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. *TR

2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED, BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER SCREWS CAME APART DURING A RAINSTORM AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2003 AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON MAJOR PARTS. I CANNOT AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT, BUT I AM WORRIED WHAT WILL GO NEXT. MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC INJURY. DAIMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REIMBURSE SOME OR ALL OF THESE EXPENSES. *TT

FRONT WINDSHIELDS SUDDENLY START TO MOVE WITH ANY CONTROL DURING THE TRAVEL IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP UNTIL DISCONNECT THE FUSE IN TO FUSEBOX. *TR

ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, THE BLEND DOOR IN MY 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS FAILED RESULTING IN VISIBILITY ISSUES DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD FOGGING UP. THIS HAS POSED A DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. *TR

I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS WITH PEOPLE AT WORK AND ON ONLINE INTERNET FORUMS TO FIND OUT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER POWER WINDOWS IN THEIR VANS. I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MYSELF AS IT SEEMS THE DEALERSHIPS ARE TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND CHARGING VERY HIGH REPLACEMENT REPAIRS. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW, ONCE PUT DOWN, HAD DIFFICULTY GOING BACK UP. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, FINALLY WINDOW WENT UP. NEXT TIME WINDOW WAS PUT DOWN, WE COULD NOT GET IT UP. SWITCH WAS CHECKED. SWITCH WAS FINE. MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ~300. *TR

CHRYSLER 2001 TOWN & COUNTRY POWER WINDOW MOTORS CONSTANTLY FAILING AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. *TR

POWER WINDOW MOTORS NOT FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS POWER DOOR LOCKS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP, AND THE PASSENGER WIPER GOES TOO FAR. THEY WILL OCCASIONALLY HIT EACH OTHER, CAUSING THE BLADES TO BREAK OR FALL OFF. WE THOUGHT WE HAD IT FIXED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2006 IN ROCKWALL, TX, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT WORKING ALONG WITH THE WIPER FLUID. ALSO, THIS WAS TO BE FIXED BY DODGE. WE HAVE SINCE MOVED TO MONTANA, WHERE SNOW AND RAIN CAN AFFECT DRIVING. THE WIPERS ARE STILL ERATIC AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*AK

2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI-VAN 1) CLOCKSPRING FAILURE- AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS AND ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL FAILURE- THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS AND YEARS, WHY NOT THIS ONE WHEN IT IS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM? SIGNIFICANT BODILY INJURY POTENTIAL- REQUESTING RECALL ON THIS MODEL. 2) FAULTY DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR- PERVASIVE ON ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES RESULTING IN SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILED IN 2003 AND WAS REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. WINDOW HAS NOW FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME. SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO OTHERS REPORTED HERE--OK ON ROLL DOWN, INTERMITTENT OR NO ABILITY TO RAISE. ANY MOVEMENT IS IN SMALL INCREMENTS. DEALER WANTS $600 TO REPAIR. PASSENGER WINDOW WORKS WELL. *NM

POWER WINDOWS ON DRIVER SIDE IS NOT OPERATING. STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO AND NOW STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. *JB

MY VAN 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW WON'T GO UP. WINDOW ONLY RISES IN 1/2" INCREMENTS. DEALER SAID IT WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 2001 MODELS BUT CHRYSLER NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. SAID I NEED A NEW POWER WINDOW MOTOR. *NM

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW GOES DOWN BUT WILL ONLY COME UP INCHES AT A TIME. HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2006. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MY DEALER. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR DOESN'T WORK. *NM

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN, BUT FAILS TO COME BACK UP. SOMETIMES, IT WILL COME UP IN SMALL INCREMENTS. BUT, USUALLY, I HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME FOR IT TO WORK. IF IT'S RAINING AND THE WINDOW IS ACCIDENTALLY OPENED, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET BACK UP IF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND ALSO POTENTIALLY GETTING THINGS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WET THAT SHOULDN'T GET WET. *NM

WINDOWS WILL OPEN BUT WILL ONLY GO UP IN INTERMITTENT CYCLES, MOVING INCHES AT A TIME OR NOT AT ALL WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTON; HAVE TO WAIT MINUTES TO GET IT TO MOVE ONLY INCHES. BECOMES A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN IT IS RAINING. BEEN ONGOING FOR LAST TWO YEARS. STARTED AS JUST DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, BUT WITHIN LAST YEAR STARTED ON PASSENGER SIDE; HOWEVER, DO NOT HAVE THE $400 PER WINDOW TO FIX! *NM

I BOUGHT A USED 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LX VAN,ON 04/04/2004 I HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW. IT WILL GO DOWN ALL THE TIME,BET 99% OF THE TIME IT COMES UP 1/4 TO 1/2 IN. AT A TIME AND TAKES ABOUT 1/2 HOUR TO GET IT ALL THE WAY UP. CHRYSLER WANTS $300.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT,BUT I READ AND GET TOLD THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL CHRYSLER AND DODGE AND PLYMOUTH VANS. AND EVEN IF YOU FIX IT CHANCES ARE IT WILL STOP WORKING SOON AFTER. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THAT CHRYSLER CAN SELL VANS AND MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE BAD MOTORS THEY PUT IN THE WINDOWS. I GET WET IF IT RAINS IF I FOR GET AND RUN THE WINDOW DOWN. AND I FREEZE IN THE WINTER SOME TIMES BECAUSE IT WON,T COME UP. ALSO THE TIMING GO,S BAD ON THE FRONT WIPER MOTOR A LOT AND THE ARMS CROSS OVER EACH OTHER AND BRAKES THE BLADES. THEY KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS AND WON,T OWN UP TO IT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE MADE TO FIX THERE JUNK. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THE VAN AND IM TIRED OF THEM MAKING OUT THAT THEY DON,T NO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM JUST SO THEY CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF US. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A PUDDLE UNDER THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THE METAL HEATER TUBES IN THE REAR HAD RUSTED THROUGH. THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT DO THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HEATER TUBES. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED IN A SALT BELT STATE. *AK UPDATED 03/28/06.

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GOES DOWN BUT WON'T COME UP. THIS APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN OWNER. *TR
