2000 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WATER CONDENSATION FROM AIR CONDITION LEAKS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT THE DRIVER'S FEET . I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ( CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN) IN APRIL 2000, AND THE LEAK STARTED IN 2002. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED FOUR TIMES TO FIX IT SINCE 2002. NOW THE VAN IS OUT OF WARANTY, AND THE DEALER THINKS THAT THE A/C EVAPORATOR IS AT FAULT AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIXT. I DECLINED TO PAY BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE VAN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE DEALER STILL CHARGED ME $78 FOR TELLING ME THAT IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR. *AK

EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE RAN ON WET ROAD THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF THE PULLEY. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND LOSE POWER STEERING CONTROL. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER.*AK DEALER WAS CONTACTED, THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND HAD A SUGGESTION FOR CORRECTION. CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW WHY WOULD THE DEALER BE SO FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM IF IT WASN'T A REGULARLY OCCURRING PROBLEM. *BF *NM

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF THE PULLEY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE COOLANT, POWER BRAKES AND STEERING, ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT INDICATE WHY THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF. THEY JUST REPLACED IT. *AK THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING LIGHT RAIN. THE SECOND INCIDENT REVEALED A DRAIN FORM A PRIOR REPAIR TO AN EVAPORATOR HAD FALLEN OFF AND ALLOWED WATER TO DRIP DIRECTLY ONTO THE SERPENTINE BELT, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY ALLOWED THE BELT TO JUMP OFF OF THE PULLEYS. *SC

HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG.*AK

VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF THE PARK AND ROLLED DOWN A HILL HITTING A TREE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TOP STRUT IS COMING THROUGH THE CHASSIS. THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE DRIVER SIDE GETS WET AND THE DRIVER SHOULDER HARNESS IS GETTING WET, AND MOLDING, AND THE ANCHORAGE IS RUSTING. .

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE SEAT HEATER ON, IT SUDDENLY GOT VERY HOT, SO I TURNED THE HEATER OFF. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I SAW A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENCIL ERASER HAD BURNED THROUGH THE LEATHER. I LATER REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY PANTS AND THE BACK OF MY LEG WAS BURNT. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS SINCE MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY WAS UP. BY THE WAY, THE HEATER NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, ALTHOUGH THE LIGHT ON THE SWITCH STILL ACTIVATES WHEN DEPRESSED, MEANING ANY FUSE IN THE SYSTEM NEVER BLEW. *JB

DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR RECALL 04V480000 CONCERNING CLOCK SPRING UNLESS THE PART FAILED. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. ROSS CHRYSLER 828-264-3626. *AK RECALL CAMPAIGN: THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL LETTER AND THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR THE RECALL. *TC

THE AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THE DRIVER NOTICED WHILE PRESSING THE HORN IT HAD NO SOUND. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB
