I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND STARTED TO SMELL ANTIFREEZE. THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WASN'T TOO WORRIED IT WAS MY CAR AS THE TEMPERATURE WAS FINE. WHEN I GOT TO MY FINAL DESTINATION, I SMELLED ANTIFREEZE AGAIN AND LIFTED THE HOOD. SURE ENOUGH, A HOSE HAD BUSTED COOLANT AND IT SPEWED ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ENGINE PARTS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE FIXED AND HE MADE A STATEMENT THAT HE "COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TOWN AND COUNTRY'S I'VE SEEN WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM." THE PART IS THE Y HOSE FOR THE HEATER/COOLANT HOSES THAT CONNECT TO THE BACK OF THE THERMOSTAT ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

3 OCCASIONS DRIVING MY 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MY TOWN AND COUNTRY BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE STEERING FAILED, BRAKES AND THE CAR WENT UNRESPONSIVE. THE ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TO REMEDY, I HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK, AND RESTART VEHICLE. THE LAST INSTANCE WHEN THIS OCCURRED I ROLLED INTO A FOUR WAY STOP AS MY BREAKS DID NOT WORK. AN ONLINE SEARCH HAS SHOWN MANY OTHER HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DODGE CARAVAN AND TOWN & COUNTRY BOTH MADE BY CHRYSLER. TOOK VAN TO DEALER WHO SAID DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED NOTHING (OTHER PEOPLE REPORT THIS SAME EXPERIENCE). THEY UPDATED THE PCM SOFTWARE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD RENDER MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AND BE THE FACTOR THAT CAUSED IT'S WHOLE SYSTEM, BRAKES INCLUDED TO SHUT DOWN. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. MINI VAN DRIVERS CARRY CHILDREN! *TR

MY 2008 MINIVAN STARTED GOING ELECTRICALLY HAYWIRE WHILE DRIVING AND I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO A NEARBY DEALER. I PULLED INTO SERVICE AREA WITH HORNS BLOWING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID GOING FULL TILT CONSTANTLY, WITH ALL SWITCHES IN THE OFF POSITION. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO THE CAR WOULDN'T GET AWAY FROM ME AND PLOW INTO SOME ONE OR THING! AFTER I GOT INTO THE SERVICE AREA EVERYTHING STOPPED. ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE AN OIL BURNING PROBLEM. I HAVE NO LEAKS BUT MY VAN IS BURNING OIL WAY BEFORE 3000 MILES. DOWN BELOW WHEN IT ASK FOR A DATE. I ENTER THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VAN. IT'S NOT THE EXACT DATE BUT AROUND THAT DATE. I WAS ONLINE RESEARCHING AND I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE DOOR HARNESS WAS CORRODED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. LATER, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE REPAIRS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. *TR

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH 66000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING MY VAN AT APPROX 35 MILES PER HOUR THE VAN SUDDENLY FLASHED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND SLIPPERY CONDITION LIGHT. THE VAN LOST THE ABILITY TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND MAKE IT GO. IT CONTINUED TO IDLE DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THE GAS PEDAL MADE NO DIFFERENCE ON THE SPEED I WAS GOING. I IDLED INTO A DRIVEWAY, TURNED THE VAN OFF, LET IT SIT FOR APPROX 30 MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED THE VAN. THE VAN STARTED FINE, BUT WHILE DRIVING IT HOME IT DID THE SAME THING. I IDLED THE LAST 1/2 MILE HOME TO GET THE VAN IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE NEXT MORNING I MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND DROVE THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT STOPPED RUNNING ONE TIME ON THE DRIVE, WHICH IS APPROX 5 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. I AGAIN HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THAT IT WAS A WIRE GOING TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS ISSUE IN THE 2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY AND DIDN'T KNOW IF THE SAME BULLETIN APPLIED TO THE 2008. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VAN LOSES ALL ABILITY TO GET UP AND GO. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT LOST ALL POWER I COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! WITHIN THE PAST MONTH WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, THE POWER STEERING FLUID LINE, AND THE POWER HARNESSES ON THE DOOR. THEY ARE NOW TAKING APART THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT IS MAKING A "LIFTER TAPPING" NOISE. *TR

KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION CANNOT TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF, HAVE TO WAIT MINUTES TO SOMETIMES HOURS FOR KEY TO BE RELEASED TO TURN KEY TO OFF POSITION AND TAKE KEY OUT. HAVE HAD MY BATTERY DIE A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS MORE A DRIVE-ABILITY PROBLEM RATHER THAN A SAFETY PROBLEM. MY VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE CODE SAID THE EGR VALVE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I WENT LOOKING FOR A PART I FOUND THAT THERE WERE SO MANY OF THESE FAILURES THAT THE PART WOULD BE BACK ORDERED AND I COULD NOT BE TOLD WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BACK IN 2005 AND CHRYSLER NEVER FIXED IT. BECAUSE OF THE EGR FAILURE THE VEHICLE GETS POORER GAS MILEAGE AND PRODUCES MORE POLLUTION. *TR

THE TIRE VALVES JUST GIVE OUT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PUTTING AIR IN AND THE VALVE BROKE AND LEFT THE AIR OUT. YESTERDAY I WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE AND THE VALVE JUST BROKE UPON BEING TOUCHED WITH A BRUSH AND THE AIR GUSHED OUT THE TIRE. I HAVE REPLACED THESE VALVES THREE TO FOUR TIMES. UNDER WARRANTY AT FIRST. THE COST OF $67.00 IS ALMOST THE COST OF A TIRE. FOR SAFETY REASONS THEY WILL ONLY PLACE THE VALVES IN THAT ARE MONITORED. I'VE NEVER HAD A VALVE BREAK ON REGULAR VALVES, I CAN IMAGINE IF RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN AND THIS VALVE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANY DEBRIS IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A BLOW OUT AND ME LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR AND POSSIBLY WRECKING. JUST TO MONITOR AIR PRESSURE SEEMS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MAINTAINING THE AIR IN THE TIRE, WHAT IS MORE OF A SAFETY FACTOR, KNOWING WHETHER YOUR TIRE NEEDS AIR OR LOSING ALL THE AIR IN THE TIRE WHEN THE VALVE GIVES WAY.

I TURNED THE CAR OFF AFTER A SHORT DRIVE AND LEFT THE CAR PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, UNLOCKED, WITH THE KEY INSERTED IN THE IGNITION. I CAME BACK FEW MINUTES LATER AND THE CAR WAS LOCKED WITH THE KEY INSIDE. THANK GOODNESS IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY SO I WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE, GRABBED THE SPARE KEYS AND OPENED THE CAR. *TR

AT LOW DRIVING SPEED THE ENGINE DID NOT MAINTAIN IDLE AND STALLED. DUE TO THE ENGINE STALL, THE BRAKES, AND POWER STEERING WERE DISABLED AND THE CAR CONTINUED IN MOTION MOVING FORWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 8 TO 10 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING THE REAR RIGHT TIRE VALVE BROKE OFF AND THE TIRE IMMEDIATELY DEFLATED, HAD MY SPEED BEEN GREATER OR HAD OTHER CARS BEEN NEAR AN ACCIDENT WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE HAPPENED. WHILE INSPECTING THE VALVES ON THE OTHER THREE TIRES ONE MORE FELL OFF IN MY HAND. WE DIDN'T INTERNET SEARCH AND THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.

THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A WEEK NOW. WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE WIPERS INDEPENDENTLY TURNED ON, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED EVERY TIME THE WIPERS WHERE DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY. THE WIPER AND LIGHT ON/OFF WAS CHECKED. TURNED OFF AND ON, AND STILL BOTH ITEMS FLASHED, AND SWIPED BY THEMSELVES.

SAME AS COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10496186 AND NHTSA ID NUMBER: 1049507. THE PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE WIRE HARNESS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. MY VEHICLE HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON/OFF IN ADDITION THE THESE ISSUES STATED IN THESE TWO COMPLAINTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SAID TO RE-CHECK SAFETY RECALL K25 WHICH I ALREADY HAVE HAD COMPLETED THAT HAD CAUSED THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO GO ON/OFF . AS IT TURNS OUT, BECAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOW SWITCHES DID NOT WORK, THE MECHANIC FOUND THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT. NOW ALL THE CRAZY FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT, DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, INTERIOR LIGHTING, ECT ECT HAVE STOPPED. MY 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY HAD THE WIRING HARNESSES RECALLED FOR THE SLIDING SIDE DOORS AND I ALREADY HAD THOSE HARNESSES REPLACED. THIS DRIVER DOOR HARNESS PROBLEMS WERE MUCH WORSE BECAUSE I NEVER KNEW IF THE AIR BAG HAD FAILED OR WAS WORKING PROPERLY. EVERYTHING WORKS OK NOW THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED. *TR

SEVERAL ISSUES. ONCE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH STOPPED AND STEERING LOCKED UP COASTED TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON, HEAD LIGHTS DONT ALWAYS WORK, SOMETIMES HEAD LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHT UP AND THEN FLICKER ON WHEN CLOSING DOORS, AIR WORKS INTERMITTENDLY. SOMETIMES STOPS AND THEN STARTS BACK ON. WIPERS WORK SOMETIMES WONT STOP. INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON INSIDE VEHICLE AND DON'T TURN OFF. SO FRUSTRATING. *TR

NUMEROUS TIMES THE CAR ENGINE/IGNITION HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL POWER ASSIST ARE THEN DISABLED. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT SO FAR EACH EVENT HAS NOT BEEN ON FREEWAY DRIVING AND WE WERE ABLE TO SLUGGISHLY STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT WITH OUR DEALER AND WITH CHRYSLER BUT ARE STILL WAITING FOR RECALL ACTION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OUR DEALERSHIP (LARRY MOORE CHRYSLER-PEORIA , AZ. THAT THE PARTS FOR OUR MODEL YEAR ARE NOT EVEN AVAILABLE YET?? WHAT HAPPENS IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS DEFECT?? SEEMS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT CHRYSLER ADMITS THE PROBLEM (FINALLY), PUTS OUT RECALLS, KNOWS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THEN IS NOT PROMPT IN SETTLING THE MATTER? *TR

ENGINE STOPS COMPLETELY WHEN VEHICLE HITS EVEN MINOR BUMPS WHILE BEING DRIVEN. *TR

MY 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY IS BURNING OIL AND I IT STARTED WHO KNOWS WHEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE VALVE COVER 3 TIMES NOW. IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN BUT THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM CHRYSLER. I THINK THE WHOLE VAN SHOULD BE RECALLED. I BOUGHT A VEHICLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE AND RELIABLE NOT TAKE IT TO GET FIXED EVERY MONTH. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES. MY 1997 CHEVY BLAZER WAS NEVER THIS MUCH TROUBLE. I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER AGAIN UNLESS MAYBE IT'S FREE. ALSO THE KEY IS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION AFTER BEING SHUT OFF. I HAVE OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I'M STICK OF THE REPAIRS! *TR

TAKATA RECALL IM NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH OTHER SERVICE RECALLS THAT WERE PERFORMED EARLIER OR WHAT. EVERY SINCE I HAD THE RECALLS FIXED IVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY LIGHTS FLASHING, LIGHTS ON DASH FLASH ON AND OFF, CANT ROLL UP OR DOWN WINDOWS, AIR OR HEAT DOESNT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ITS LIKE IT JUST GOES CRAZY. IT DOES IT MORE DRIVING, BUT DOES IT SITTING STILL AS WELL. NOT SURE OF AN EXACT DATE WHEN ALL THIS STARTED BUT IT JUST CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND I HAD TO STOP DRIVING IT. NOT SURE IF ITS ELECTRICAL, COMPUTER, OR WHAT. I DO HAVE VIDEO OF IT...

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 43,000.

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES HOME FROM WORK, I PARKED THE VAN IN MY DRIVEWAY, TOOK THE KEYS, AND WENT INSIDE. ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER, MY HORN BEGAN TO BLOW, WINDSHIELD WIPERS RAPIDLY MOVING AND SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID EVERYWHERE, ALL THE DOORS LOCKED, AND THIS CONTINUED UNTIL BATTERY WAS DISABLED. HOOKED BATTERY BACK UP AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. AFTER A FEW MILES, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN RAPIDLY WIPING AND SPRAYING, THE HORN FRANTICALLY BLOWING, AND DOORS UNLOCKED AND LOCKED SEVERAL TIMES. HAD TO AGAIN REMOVE THE BATTERY TO STOP. CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO CLAIMS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. COME TO FIND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

AFTER 6 WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE SLIDING DOORS WERE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. THEY WOULD OPEN OR CLOSE ON THEIR OWN. IT STARTED OFF BEING ONLY ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH TO NOW AN ALMOST EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND I AM BEING TOLD "THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE" WELL AL I CAN SAY IS WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, A CHILD GETTING BADLY HURT OR KILLED. THE FINAL STRAW FOR ME WAS JUST LAST WEEK WHEN THE DOOR CLOSED ON MY 10 YR. OLDS LEG AND I HAD TO PUT MY WHOLE BODY IN THE DOOR TO GET IT TO STOP. IT BRUISE MY BACK AND CUT MY SONS LEG. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET RID OF THE VAN BEFORE IT DOES MAJOR DAMAGE TO ONE OF MY KIDS, BUT I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD AT LEAST GET THE MONEY BACK I HAVE PUT INTO IT SINCE NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP MORE MONEY TO GET A NEW CAR AND PAY SALES TAX ALL OVER AGAIN. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE "PROBLEMS WITH CHRYSLER VANS SLIDING DOORS" AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY WON'T YOU GUYS DO ANYTHING TO HELP US, OR IS THIS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHEN A TRAGEDY LIKE THE DEATH OF A CHILD HAS TO HAPPEN TO MAKE YOU WAKE UP AND TAKE ACTION. I EVEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SLIDING DOOR ISSUES I WAS HAVING. I TOLD THAT LADY SHE WAS FULL OF CRAP BECAUSE YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND SEE HUNDREDS OF STORIES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ROAD I HEAR A LIGHT CLICK AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, AND STEERING BECOMES LOCKED AND I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AFTER I HEARD THE CLICK I WOULD LOOK DOWN AND THE KEY HAS MOVED FROM THE ON POSITION TO THE ACC POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE 11-14-2012 AND HAPPENED A LOT DURING 2013, I FINALLY CALLED CHRYSLER IN AUGUST OF 2013 WHEN THE VAN SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND ONE TIME WHILE SITTING IN LINE AT THE BANK AND THAT SAME DAY WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND ALMOST GOT HIT AS LOTS OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. I TOOK THE VAN TO AVONDALE DODGE AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AS THEY FOUND IT WAS CRACKED THIS WAS IN OCTOBER OF 2013, SO MY CLAIM WAS CLOSED WITH CHRYSLER. VAN SHUT DOWN AGAIN ON 12-22-13 WHILE LOOKING AT CHRISTIMAS LIGHTS IN MY COMMUNITY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS SINCE 12-22-13 THAT MY VAN HAS SHUT DOWN THE LATEST BEING ON 6-4-14 WHILE DRIVING ON THE 101 FREEWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD TO THINK QUICK AND I REMEMBER THAT MY SON WHO HAS A 2005 DODGE RAM HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HIS TRUCK AND HE TOLD ME TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VAN AS IT WAS COASTING AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. THE VAN RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION AND BACK HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON 6-6-14 TO REPORT THAT THE ISSUE CONTINUES AND THAT IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY THIS LAST TIME. THEY STARTED A NEW CLAIM AND HAD ME TAKE IT BACK TO LARRY H. MILLER AVONDALE DODGE. THE DEALER CAN STILL NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE! I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL GAUGES STARTED ILLUMINATING AND EMITTING A CONTINUOUS NOISE FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THIS FAILURE RECURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ASSIGNED HER A CASE MANAGER AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

MY WIFE WAS STOPPED ON THE I-94 FREEWAY IN DETROIT, MI. A VEHICLE WAS CLOSING IN BEHIND HER AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. HER VEHICLE THEN LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, YET NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. MY WIFE'S HEAD CONTACTED THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION. SHE CURRENTLY HAS A FRACTURED NOSE, AND SEVERELY SWOLLEN/BLACK&BLUE EYES. WE HAVE 2 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5, WHO THANKFULLY WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. THE FIREMAN ON THE SCENE HAD STATED THAT HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A FIREMAN FOR 18 YEARS, AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE WITH AS MUCH FRONTAL DAMAGE IN WHICH THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, AND FULLY EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO BE TOTALED OUT DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN MANY PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE, AND CAN SEND THEM TO YOU IF YOU PROVIDE AN ACTUAL EMAIL ADDRESS. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THE USED 2008 CHRYSLER T&C WE NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE SQUEAKY, CAUSED VIBRATION, OR MADE A STRANGE NOISE WHEN TURNING. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS MULTIPLE TIMES AND ON OUR WAY BACK TO THE GARAGE TO FIND OUT WHY THERE'S A NEW NOISE WHEN WE TURN A CORNER. OVERALL VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR CHRYSLER TO CREATE SUCH A SUB-PAR PRODUCT FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE. *TR

VALVE STEMS ON TPMS SYSTEMS ARE NOT MADE OF BRASS AS ON THE PAST THEY ARE OF A POT METAL AND THEY CORRODE UNDER THE CAP WHEN YOU TRY TO INFLATE THE TIE THE SNAP OFF CAUSING AN INSTANT FLAT. I F THIS WAS TO OCCUR AT SPEED IT WOULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN A RURAL ROAD AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROADWAY ATTEMPTING TO STOP. AFTER A FEW MINUTES ONE HEADLIGHT CAME BACK ON THEN WENT OUT AGAIN. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. *TR

2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED 64000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. I NOTICED THIS WHEN MY STEERING BECAME HARD TO TURN. *TR
