2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

AUX, DVD AND SATELLITE SOUND STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE DRIVING SLIDING DOOR WONT OPEN, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING , THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE DEALER WANTS 110 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT . ANY IDEAS ? *TR

IGNITION SWITCH SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ENGINE STOPS RUNNING. POSSIBLE FROM BUMPS IN ROAD OR BUMPING KEY RING WITH DRIVERS KNEE. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN THREE TIMES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FOR PERIODS OF TIME AND THEN GOES OFF. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC WHO TOLD US THAT THE FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME DEFECT HOWEVER ARE VIN # WAS NOT AMONG THE VEHICLES RECALLED. IT IS CLEAR THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME DEFECT THAT THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL HAVE. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON OUR OWN AND ARE HOPING THAT BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT, ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT I AM SURE HAVE BEEN FILED, CHRYSLER WILL EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. UNTIL THEN WE ARE TAKING OUR CHANCES DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WE BOUGHT FOR ITS SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT HELD UP THEIR END OF THE DEAL IN PROVIDING GOOD CUSTOMER CARE AND WILL SHOP OTHER MAKERS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WITH MY VAN OF IT TOTALLY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING BOTH AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY CHRYSLER AND THEY REPLACED A CAM SHAFT SENSOR TWICE. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS RESTARTS BUT ALL BUT ONE OF THE INCIDENCES WHEN IT SHUT DOWN HAVE LEFT ME/US IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE UNLESS I DO NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A CASE # WITH CHRYSLER OF [XXX]. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS ON VACATION IN FLORIDA 2/14 AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO NOT RESTART AND GO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MAP LIGHT FAILED TO FUNCTION AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SOCKETS HAD MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 04/04/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER NO LONGER REPAIRED THE MAP LIGHTS. THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. UPDATED 04/14/2014 *JS

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. THIS VEHICLE WAS FIRST SOLD IN CALIFORNIA, THEREFORE IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY TO THE J38- AIRBAG SENSOR SAFETY BULLETIN. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

FOR 3 MONTHS NOW, EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO STALL AND SPUTTER. THIS HAPPENED ON 2/20/2014 AT 5PM AFTER LEAVING THE FUELING STATION AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THROUGH A HEAVY TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, I LOST POWER STEERING AT A CRITICAL POINT IN THE TURN AND CROSSED ONE LANE AND ALMOST INTO A CONCRETE WALL BEFORE MUSCLING THE STEERING WHEEL INTO A SAFE SPOT TO TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF REPORTS ABOUT A FAILURE WITH THE VAPOR LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE ON THE GAS TANK THAT ALLOW LIQUID TO FILL THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH INTURN SENDS RAW LIQUID FUEL RATHER THAN VAPOR INTO THE ENGINE INTAKE CAUSING AN EXTREMELY RICH MIXTURE CAUSING THE STALLING AND SPUTTERING. THIS IS HAPPENING AFTER EVERY REFUEL AND I AM SEEING HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER DENIED EVER HEARING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TO INQUIRE. APPARENTLY THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. SOUNDS LIKE A VERY UNSAFE DESIGN FLAW TO ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A MAIL BOX. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN RAIN. THE DRIVER DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I WAS DRIVE ON I-94 WHEN MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR ON 2005 & 2006 CHRYSLER MINI VANS NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ09003. CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION J38. I CALLED MY DEALER AND CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS FOR MOSTLY NORTHERN STATES. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN MICHIGAN BUT THE VAN IS ORIGINALLY FROM FLORIDA. CHRYSLER SAID THIS MAY BE THE REASON IT DOESN'T SHOW RECALL. BUT SAID THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET THE RECALL ADDED. HOW DO I GET CHRYSLER TO REPAIR THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
