2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE WIRING HARNESS IN MY MINIVAN BROKE, CAUSING THE WIRES TO BECOME PINCHED AND SEVER. WHILE TRYING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WE BECAME AWARE OF A SAFETY RECALL ON THE SAME PART. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BERNARD'S IN NEW RICHMOND WI. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE (OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECTLY, IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED) AND THE RECALL WAS CLOSED. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD NOT/ SHOULD NOT OCCUR WITHOUT DEFAULT. I FEAR FIRE WITH MY CHILDREN/ GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR...

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD START TO FLASH ON AND OFF, THE CAR GOES INTO A LIMP MODE, THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF, AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR GOES DEAD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES RECENTLY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC.

SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN GO OUT COMPLETELY. REPLACED HEADLIGHTS DID NOT HELP. REPLACED HEADLIGHTS FUSE AND RELAY FUSE DID NOT HELP. WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TIPM MODULE. THIS MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM.

RECEIVED A HEAD INJURY FROM A PARKED VEHICLES OVERHEAD CONSOLE. THE HEAD INJURY REQUIRED THE RESPONSE OF AN AMBULANCE DUE TO BLOOD LOSS. ALSO REQUIRED USE OF SURGICAL GLUE UNDER TO CAR OF A DR TO CLOSE THE WOUND. *JS CENTER CONSOLE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT IS VERY SHARP ON ITS EDGE AND CAN INFLECT SUBSTANTIAL INJURE. IN MY CASE THE SLIDING DOOR WAS OPEN AND WHEN I LEANED IN TO THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY AND THE TOP OF MY HEAD CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE OPEN DOOR OF THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT. THE EDGE OF THE COMPARTMENT CAUSED A VERY DEEP HEAD WOUND.

TAKATA RECALL WINDSHIELD WIPER COME ON AND WANT GO OFF TURN SINGLE STOP WORKING LIGHTS WONT BRITEN WHEN I TURN KEY IT JUST KEEP TURNING ON IT OWN AIR WORK WHEN IT WANT TO BRAKES CHANGED AND STILL MAKE NOSE AND AXLE MAKE A CLUCKING SOUND THIS IS GOING WHILE I AM DRIVEING ON CITY STREET AND MAIN HIGH WAY

VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING AT RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES DRIVING AT ANY AND ALL SPEEDS, CUTTING OUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH MAKING IT EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY SUTTING OFF INSTANTLY, NUMERIOUS TIMES AT 20 TO 30 MPR WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, 40 TO 50 MPH ON SERVICE STREETS, AT SPEED, STARTING TO SLOW, AND OR ATTEMPTING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. DEALER HAS HAD VAN 3 WEEKS, SAID THEY DROVE TWICE TO SIMULATE AND COULD NOT REPEATE. EXTREAMLY DANGERIOU S, ALMOST REAR-ENDED MORE THAN ONCE.

THE HORN WAS HONKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID GOING OFF, REAR WIPERS, FLASHERS GOING AND IGNITION STALLING WHILE DRIVING,

THE ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 12 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND POWER STEERING IS LOST AND BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT. IT IS SOMEWHAT RANDOM BUT MORE PROMINENT ON COOLER AND HUMID DAYS. THE RECALL FOR THE BAD IGNITION KEY FOB SWITCH WAS COMPLETED 5 YEARS AGO AND SHOULD NOT BE THE ISSUE.

MY TIRE LIGHT CAME ON I CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE AND FOUND ONE OF THE VALVE STEMS BROKE OFF. TOOK IT INTO TIRE SHOP AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE STEMS. HAD TO REPLACE ONE. NEED NEW TIRES AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE OTHER THREE.
