2009 BRAUN TOWN & COUNTRY Complaints

THE FRONT ROTORS OF MY VEHICLE HAVE TO BE RESURFACED AFTER ONLY 12,500 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME CHRYSLER HAD A NOTICE ABOUT THE REAR ONES AS WELL AND HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THOSE AS WELL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. *TR

THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN TO DECREASE IN SPEED WITHOUT WARRANT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FUME FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE IN AN EFFORT TO CORRECT THE DASHBOARD FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED.

MY HUSBAND WHO WAS DRIVING MY 2009 TOWN AND COUNTRY CHRYSLER AND HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT =- RESULTING IN A TOTAL FOR THE CAR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 65 MILES AN HOUR AND IT HIT A TREE AND DOWN AND EMBARKMENT AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF - NONE. MY HUSBAND WAS VERY LUCKY AND SUFFERED ONLY A SMALL CONCUSSION, BRUISES AND A SPRAINED LEFT ANKLE AND SEVERAL CUTS. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT OUR CAR WAS NOT HIT ON THE SPOT TO DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS - DOES THAT MEAN THE NEXT TIME WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT WE SHOULD STEER SO THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYMENT. HMM DON'T THINK SO!! *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE OPERATING MY 09 TOWN AND COUNTRY AT 45 MPH WITH MYSELF ( 4 MONTHS PREGNANT) AND MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, CHIMES WENT OFF AS THOUGH A DOOR WAS OPEN, THE WIPERS BOTH FRONT AND BACK TURNED AND MY DRIVERS SET STARTED SLIDING BACK AND FORTH AS IF BEING ADJUSTED ALL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORP REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. THEY DO NOT SEEM CONCERNED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I WAS SCARED, IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. AS THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED AND STARTED TO BLINK ON AND OFF. THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. ANOTHER DRIVER EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. WHEN THE DEALER RAN THE TEST, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,776. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,059.

MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH LESS THAN 27,000 MILES REQUIRED RE-DO OF ALL ROTORS DUE TO WHAT THE DEALER SAID WAS EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED BECAUSE I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL UPON BRAKING. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 1 YR AGO AS A DEMO AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BRAKE PROBLEM LIKE THIS IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED, SO I HAVE TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DUE TO "MY IMPROPER DRIVING/BRAKING" HABITS AS WAS INFERRED BY THE DEALER. *TR
