1999 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE SERPENTINE BELT SHEARED OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE, AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE PULLEY BELT AND A SHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED TWO RECALL LETTERS FROM CHRYSLER CONCERNING THE CLOCK SPRING. WHEN HE TOOK VEHICLE TO REDLANDS AUTO CENTER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE VEHICLE. RECALL REPAIRS WERE NOT PERFORMED. *AK

SEVEN (7) ATTEMPTS FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE LEMON LAW, FEDERAL LAW AND VIRGINIA STATE LAW. *BF *SC

THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL NOT ACTIVATE UNLESS THERE IS IMPACT. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO OPEN AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT, SINCE I HAVE TESTED SEVERAL OTHER CARS, AND THEY DO NOT REQUIRE IMPACT BEFORE THE SEAT BELT STOPS. IN OTHER CARS, THE SEAT BELT CAN BE PULLED QUICKLY, AND THE BELT IMMEDIATELY STOPS. IN MY MINIVAN, THE BELT JUST CONTINUES OUT. HAVE ALSO TRIED BRAKING SUDDENLY, AND THE SELT BELT DOES NOT GET ACTIVATED. THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL 4 CAPTAIN SEATS IN MY CAR. HAVE RESEARCHED ON WEB SITE WWW.UNSAFEBELTS.COM - AS PER THIS WEB SITE, THE CHRYSLER 1999 MINIVAN IS UNSAFE SINCE IT USES GEN3 TYPE BELTS. REQUEST YOU TO EVALUATE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH DRIVER'S HEATED SEAT BURNED THE DRIVER, CAUSING MINOR INJURIES. CONSUMER WILL CONTACT THE DEALER IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ANOTHER VEHICLE STRUCK IT FROM THE FRONT. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

THE PLASTIC LENS COVER FAILED ON THE DRIVER 'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER PAID FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *AK

THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH HEATED SEATS. THE OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SEATS CHECKED. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DETECTED. NOW, THE PASSENGER SEATS ARE OVER HEATING ALSO. THE OWNER HAD THE SEATS REPLACED ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASSIONS. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THAT ALL FOUR SEATS FAILED. BOTH FRONT SEATS HAD BURN HOLES IN THEM. THE CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE STRUT TOWER WENT BAD AND HAD IT REPLACED. THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT A VIBRATION IS FELT WHILE DRIVING AS IF THE VEHICLE DROVE ON FOUR FLAT TIRES. THE CONSUMER HEARD A WHINING NOISE WHEN USING THE AM RADIO WHICH ONLY HAPPED WHEN USING THE BRAKE. *TC

OVER THE LAST 6MOS THE SEAT HEATER ON OUR TC MINI VAN HAS CONTINUALLY OVERHEATED. BURNS LEGS. DEALERSHIP SAID OUR FAULT AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. OUR EXPENSE. ONE OF THE REASONS WE BOUGHT THIS VAN WAS BECAUSE OF THE SEAT HEATERS. HAVE BAD BACK AND HEAT HELPS. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH QUALITY OF PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE PAID. HAVE STOPPED USING SEAT HTR. AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER. VAN HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR MANY OTHER PROBLEMS, SPEEDOMETER, STARTER, TIRES LEAKING DUE TO RIMS, EGR VALVE, LEAKY BOOT, STRUTS, ETC... MORE ITEMS REPLACED THAN I EXPECTED.

I HAVE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS SINCE 2001 WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VAN, AND I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON THIS PROBLEM, AND NOW THEY TELL ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND I HAD NO WARNING OF THAT.
