2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

FREQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED, LESS THAN 30 AND YOU ARE MAKING A TURN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. NORMALLY IT WILL GO BACK OFF IN LESS THAN 20 SECONDS. I WAS ADVISED THERE IS A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT ON TOWN AND COUNTRY'S FROM OTHER YEARS WAS A RECALL ITEM. IN SEARCHING MY PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTED INCIDENCES OF THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. COST TO FIX IS APPROXIMATELY $400.00. THIS ISSUE HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AN APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY....UPDATED 10/27/15 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A BURNING PLASTIC ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT ELECTRICAL WIRES INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL WERE BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THEY SAID MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON RECALL BUT IT NEVER GOES OUT AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WENT THRU CAR WASH GOT WET AND STAYS ON SO LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 4 YEARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED FOR A BRIEF MOMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AFTER TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BCM, FCM, AND IPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,483.

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. ALWAYS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. NO TROUBLE CODES HAVE EVER BEEN REGISTERED.

VAN HAS STARTED STALLING OUT AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT USUALLY STALLS SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THAT STATION WHILE SPEEDING UP AFTER A TURN. SO FAR IT HASN'T COMPLETELY DIED BUT I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT RUNNING. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINS ON-LINE THAT SAY THE REPAIR IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND CANISTER THE SAME AS THE REPAIR FOR THE 300, THE MAGNUM AND THE CHARGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY AIR BAG AND ABS LIGHTS STAYS ON AND MY DOOR LOCKS AND REAR TAIL LIGHTS STOP WORKING I HAVE TO GET FUSES AND LIGHTS REGULARLY

WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE I NOTED THE RECALL THAT AFFECTED THIS MODEL, YEAR AND STATE OF REGISTRATION. THE FAILURE IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE BULLETIN. FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE THE VEHICHLE VIN LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. WILL PURSUE CORRECTIVE ACTION AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

DURING THE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT 55 MPH AND I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TOGGLE THE SWITCH AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER A LONG PERIOD WITH THIS ISSUE, IT GETS WORSE, IT TAKES ME AT LEAST 2-3 MINUTES TOGGLING THE SWTICH TO TURN IT ON. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS ISSUE. HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS RECALLED BY CHRYSLER BUT IT DOESN'T APPLY ON MY VEHICLE.
