1999 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS DRIVER'S SEAT HEATER BURNED THROUGH THE SEAT. DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT ON THE FIRST OCCASION. CURRENTLY, THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AGAIN. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE SEAT WILL BE REPLACED AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *AK

THE STRUT TOWER ON MY CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN HAS SEVERE RUST ON THE TOP. THE METAL IS PEELING AND THE STRUT IS PUSHING THROUGH. THIS WAS DISCOVERED TODAY WHEN I TOOK THE VAN IN TO HAVE IT DETAILED. THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE VAN WHICH IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED IN TOP CONDITION.*AK

LAST YEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT WENT ON FIRE. IT BURNED A SMALL HOLE IN THE SEAT AND CAUSED A SEVERE BLISTER ON MY LEG BEFORE I SWITCHED IT OFF. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE OVER $1100 TO FIX IT. I TODAY READ ALL THE REPORTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SO I AM NOW REPORTING IT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THIS IS NOT THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL.*AK

MY 1999 TOWN AND COUNTRY IMTERMITTENLY WILL NOT START. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, ETC. ALSO HAS SHUT OFF BY ITSHELF WHILE DRIVING.*AK

NO ACCIDENT, CRASH, OR INJURY. MY AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOW NOT WORK (ALSO MY CRUISE CONTROL & STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROLS ARE NOT FUNTIONAL). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE & I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED QUICKLY AT A COST OF OVER $220. THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER!. *AK

ALL FOUR RIMS RUSTED OUT. *BF ALL FOUR RAMPS AND TIRES COLLAPSED. THE BRAKES COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE VAN RUNS SO HOT. *NM

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY, HORN DOESN'T WORK, STEREO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL DON'T WORK, CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. I'M AFRAID AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY ON ACCIDENT AND I CAN'T HONK MY HORN IF IMMEDIATE PROBLEM ARISES.*AK

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE SEAT HEATER ON CONSUMER SAW THAT THE SEAT HEATER HAD BURNED A HOLE THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. *AK WHEN THE CONSUMER TOUCHED THE SEAT IT WAS VERY HOT AND SMELLED OF NOXIOUS FUMES. *TC

HORN STOPPED, BUT AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION.*AK

TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT AT 60,000 MILES BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, AND THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN FIRST GEAR ONLY. *AK *TS
