2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

LEFT TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS SELECTED AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON WHEN LEFT TURN IS SELECTED. OCCASIONALLY THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL. ALSO WIPER BLADES WILL NOT TURN ON OCCASION UNTIL ANOTHER ACTION IS SELECTED (SUCH AS A TURN SIGNAL) WHEN THEY DO TURN ON AFTER ANOTHER ACTION IS TAKEN THEY TURN ON AT HIGHEST SPEED AND WILL NOT GO TO THE SPEED I SELECT UNTIL ANOTHER ACTION IS TAKEN(SUCH AS TURN SIGNAL). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER REMOVING THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD BEEPING SOUND. AFTER MAKING SEVERAL ATTEMPS, THE LIGHTS FINALLY TURNED OFF BUT MOMENTS LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LEFT IS ACTIVATED INSTEAD. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. *TR

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED SO NYS INSPECTION COULD BE PASSED. IN MAY OF 2014 I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS BAD AGAIN & NEEDS A REPLACEMENT BUT THE SHOP CAN'T GET IT BECAUSE THE REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED TO USE CA STANDARDS AND THE UNIT US NOT AVAILABLE. THIS US RESULTING IN UNREASONABLE EXPENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED AND CAUSED SING SMOKE TO EMIT FROM THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CALIPER, ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS MILEAGE WAS 129,628 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,698.

I HIT A BUMP AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPER CUT ON AND WOULD NOT CUT OFF EVEN WHEN I TURNED THE VAN OFF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER KEPT RUNNING I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSS. WHEN I PUT THE FUSS BACK IN THE WIPER ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL NOW. *TR

OVER THE YEARS WE'VE LEFT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE BATTERY HAS GONE DEAD. CHRYSLER HAD CHECKED IT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. THE FIRST BATTERY LEAKED AND DESTROYED THE HARNESS, WHICH CHRYSLER PAID PART OF. THE SECOND HAD PARTIAL REPLACEMENT. MY OPINION IS SOMETHING IS WRONG. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AFTER 15 MINUTES, SO THE BATTERY SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE DEAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. WE HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES. WE LEARNED TO TAKE THE KEY COMPLETELY OUT. WE'RE NOT SURE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WE WANT THE PROBLEM DOCUMENTED. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED. SINCE WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS. THE DATES ARE OFF, BUT CHRYSLER KNOWS WHEN WE WHERE THERE. *TR

I AM HEARING A LOUD WHINE. IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND CAN BE HEARD MORE LOUDLY INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAN OUT. IT IS CONSTANT. IT IS USUALLY LOUDER IN COLD WEATHER. IT IS NOT AS LOUD IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING WHEN I HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICE AND ALL FLUIDS ARE TOPPED OFF. LATELY IT HAS BEGAN TO MAKE A BIT MORE OF A GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE IS VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS--NOT SO MUCH AT HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT THEN AGAIN THERE IS MORE ROAD NOISE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IF PARKED AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHINE GETS LOUDER. THE PITCH SEEMS TO CHANGE WITH ENGINE SPEED, NOT MOVEMENT. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK & PINION. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED YET? IF LEFT UNFIXED, THE POWER STEERING CAN FAIL. I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO STEER THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND IT WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A CRASH. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED A WHINE DEVELOPING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT TO BE A BEARING IN ONE OF THE PULLEYS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS A POWER STEERING PUMP OR THE RACK AND PINION. I HAD THE POWER STEERING FLUSHED AND REFILLED BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE WHINE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE RACK AND PINION. AFTER READING THE BLOGS ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING WITH 88000 MILES. *TR
