2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

MY VAN FREQUENTLY STALLS OUT, AND IT'S PARTICULARLY LIKELY TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUEL REFILL, ESPECIALLY IF I FILL UP THE TANK. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK, LEAVING ME STALLED OUT AT A STOPLIGHT FOR A FEW MINUTES. SOMETIMES, TOO, IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED BY ACTING AS IF THE ENGINE IS FLOODED AND THEREFORE, IT WON'T START. IF I LET IT SIT AND DON'T ATTEMPT TO START IT FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, IT GENERALLY STARTS RIGHT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS, BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN OF THE EXACT DATE OF THE FIRST INSTANCE. *TR

I HAVE POWER STEERING NOISE ON MY T&C 2005 CHRYSLER VAN. IT USED TO COME INITIALLY ON COLD START AND LATER IT IS COMMON EVEN ON HOT DAYS AND THE NOISE IS CONTENTIOUS WHEN EVER I TURN THE WHEEL. IT LOOKS IT IS MANUFACTURE ISSUE AND NEVER RECALLED FROM CHRYSLER AS I SEE LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY IS TURNED ON. TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF/ON SOMETIMES RESTORE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AS THE TIME GOES ON. WE CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN NJ AND WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR ISSUES WITH OUR VIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 (NA) BABY TREND FLEX-LOC REAR FACING INFANT SEAT. THE SEAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON FEBRUARY 1, 2012 AND LOCATED IN A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LATCH BUTTON THAT SECURES THE CHILD SEAT TO THE BASE WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CHILD SEAT WAS NOT REPLACED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN...UPDATED 09-23-14 *BF UPDATED 10/02/14

AFTER ABOUT FIVE YEARS, THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR HAS SLOWLY DETERIORATED. IT HAS TURNED BROWN, REFLECTS DOUBLE OBJECTS, AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT PAY FOR. WE WOULD LIKE A NEW MIRROR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WINDOW EXPLODED WHILE CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 280,000.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATES ON/OFF CONSTANTLY. CAME ON/OFF 38 TIMES ON A RECENT 160 MILE TRIP TO ST. JOE, MO. IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. *************************************** SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ALSO COMES ON SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY. *TR

WHENEVER WE FILL UP WITH GAS, SHORTLY AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE STATION THE ENGINE STALLS. SOMETIMES SOONER THAN LATER BUT SOMETIMES WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT WHEN THE STALL HAPPENS IS UNPREDICTABLE. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES LIFE. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS AND MAYBE THERE IS A REPAIR WITH THIS BUT NONE ARE DEFINITE AND VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP WITH ANY INFO. *TR

CAR STALLED OUT WITHOUT WARNING AT 55 TO 60MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS,FULL FUEL,NO BLOWN FUSES. COASTED TO EMERGENCY LANE. RESTARTED VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR PROBLEMS. HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS. *TR

I WAS INFORMED TODAY BY THE MECHANIC AT MONROE MUFFLER THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PUT HIS FINGERS THROUGH THE FRAME. THERE ARE ACTUALLY LARGE HOLES THROUGH THE FRAME. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE HOLES ON THE FRAME (REAR RIGHT SIDE). THE LEFT REAR FRAME WAS NEARLY AS BAD. WHEN TOYOTA HAD A FRAME RUST/ROT ISSUE ON THE TACOMA AND THE TUNDRA, TOYOTA EITHER REPLACED THE FRAME OR BOUGHT BACK THE VEHICLE AT 1 1/2 TIMES THE KBB RETAIL VALUE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I WAS PLANNING ON DRIVING THIS ANOTHER FEW YEARS, HOWEVER IT WON'T PASS NYS INSPECTION WITH THE FRAME RUST THROUGH. WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? *TR
