1999 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE ENGINE WILL NOT START, IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, I THINK IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A GARAGE AND NOONE CAN SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $270.00 TO FIX IT. I WAS CHARGED $70.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THIS, IN MY OPINION, SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE TIRES LOOKED AS IF THEY WERE GOING FLAT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE RIMS WERE THE PROBLEM NOT THE TIRE. THE RIMS BECOME PITTED, AND ALLOWED AIR TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE PITS. ALSO, TIRE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT MANY CHRYSLER PRODUCTS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHROME WHEELS.*AK

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON FOR 5-6 MONTHS, LATER CRUISE CONTROL & HORN IN STEERING WHEEL QUIT WORKING. TOOK VEHICLE TO BODY SHOP AND THEY SAID CLOCK SPRING HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING HORN FAILD AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THA TEH CLOCKSPRING WAS DEFECTIVE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON 1996-1998 MOBELS, BUT NOT THE 1999 MODEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. *NM

TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAVE CEASED WORKING, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 1996-1998 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVANS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM IN A SIMILAR MILEAGE RANGE, AND I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 1999 MODELS. BECAUSE IT IS REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN CORRECTED AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD, THE 1999 MODELS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.*AK

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYED ON. CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. A RECALL WAS ISSUED, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ON, THE HORN WOULD NOT OPERATE, THE CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO ON THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK. *SC *JB

ENGINE WARNING LIGHT, HORN, AND RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. AFTER INVESTIGATION BY CHRYSLER MECHANICS THEY FOUND THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT INCASE OF AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY.*AK HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED, THEN SAW THAT THE 96 - 98 MODELS HAVE A RECALL FOR THE FAILING CLOCK SPRING.

THE CLOCK SPRING MECHANISM IN MY 1999 CHRYSLER T&C CAUSED THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE; OTHER ITEMS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AREA DO NOT WORK- 1) CRUISE CONTROL, 2) RADIO VOLUME AND STATION CONTROL, 3) HORN

HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, STEERING WHEEL STEREO CONTROLS & AIR BAG NOT WORKING. POSSIBLY RELATED TO CLOCKSPRING FAILURE.*MR
