2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I WAS DRIVING G SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 35 AS I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION WHERE INTERSTATE 35 , 80 , 235 MEET A SEMI HAULING WHAT LOOKED LIKE GRAVEL WAS MERGING ONTO 235 AT THE SAME TIME I WAS . ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL MY VEHICLE LIGHTING WENT DARK AND THE TRUCK DRIVER SAW ME.. I WAS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO GET THEM ON AND I DID NOT SEE HIM AND JUST WHEN HE MERGED HE SAW ME AND SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES . RESULTING IN MY VEHICLE BEING PELTED WITH SAND AND ROCK . MY WIND SHIELD HAD NUMEROUS DINGS IN IT AND SINCE IT WAS TOTALLY DARK I DIDN'T NOTICE THEM TILL IT WAS TO LATE TO STOP HIM . MY LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON AND UNTIL IT'S FIXED I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND SINCE I AM A DISABLED VETERAN I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THIS TIME TO GET THE LIGHTS FIXED AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. *TR

NUMEROUS TIMES, UPON FILLING GAS TANK, VEHICLE STALLS IN FIRST FEW MILES OF DRIVING. HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THE NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO PUSH FOR A RECALL. I CANNOT FILL UP TOTALLY FOR REAR OF GETTING HIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS TURNING BACK INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE HAS THREATENED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILL-UPS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN INVESTIGATION PS13-016 FOR SIMILAR MODELS FROM CHRYSLER. THAT INVESTIGATION HAS LED TO A VERY NARROWLY DRAWN WARRANTY EXTENSION. ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INFORM THE CONTACT OF WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 AND AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE. THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING OR IDLING SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER EACH REFUEL SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (APPROXIMATELY 12 TIMES IN TOTAL). THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND THEN STALL WHILE IDLING OR WILL JERK FORWARD VIOLENTLY AS THE ENGINE SPUTTERS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THEN STALL. THIS MAY HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT OR AS FAR AWAY AS 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AFTER REFUELING. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED THIS MORNING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *TR

MY CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY CONSTANTLY HAS ISSUES WITH FLICKERING LIGHTS, WHACKED OUT SPEEDOMETER, ALL LIGHTS IN DASH GO HAYWIRE INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN TEMPORARILY WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN FAILS AT STOPLIGHTS. WELL A WHILE AGO I HAD TAKEN MY SON TO THE DOCTORS AND ON THE WAY HOME MY VAN STARTED ACTING UP SO BAD THAT THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE NEXT LANE AND LUCKILY WE WEREN'T HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER! AFTER SITTING THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE DURING RUSH HOUR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT FINALLY DECIDED TO START UP BUT THIS IS NOW A CONSTANT ISSUE. AFTER SEEING SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE MANUFACTURER IS GETTING AWAY WITH NO RECALL. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY EVERY DAY AND HAVE ALREADY FORKED WAY TOO MUCH MONEY INTO IT TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. PLEASE ANYBODY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL ISSUE A RECALL. THANKS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COIL THAT HEATS THE DRIVER SEAT BURNED A HOLE THROUGH THE SEAT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BURN ON THE LEG THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS WITHOUT INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL (NO POWER, ENGINE OFF, STOP IN ITS TRACKS). AFTER IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES, I REALIZED THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN FILLING THE TANK FULLY, AFTER DRIVING A MINUTE OR TWO. IT IS SO DANGEROUS! LUCKILY, I HAD ALWAYS PULLED INTO A NEARBY STORE FOR ANOTHER ERRAND. IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE STREET, I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED! THE VEHICLE STOPS WITH NO WARNING. ALL POWER SHUTS OFF AND ENGINE DIES. IT STOPS IN ITS PLACE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO COAST AND PULL OVER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS, ODOMETER & PRND21 BEGAN FLICKERING INTERMITTENTLY. CONDITION WORSENED AND GAUGES WOULD TURN OFF AND BACK ON, WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER OFF & ON, RADIO CUTS OUT. CONDITION HAS PROGRESSED - NOW VAN HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING THREE TIMES. BATTERY IS GOOD, GROUNDS ARE CONNECTED. THIS COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE COMMON, YET DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE REPAIR INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS - CHRYSLER SHOULD HELP IDENTIFY A SOLUTION AND ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN. *TR
