2002 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ON 2002 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STOP ROLLING UP. I REVIEWED OWNER COMMENTS FROM A WEBSITE ON HOW TO GET THE WINDOW TO ROLL UP, WHICH WAS BY SLAMMING THE DOOR WHILE HOLDING THE BUTTON IN THE UP POSITION. NEED TO DO IT NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET IT TO ROLL UP. THIS WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.AUTOSITE.COM/CONTENT/RESEARCH/FORUMS/INDEX.CFM/ACTION/POSTS/FID/1650 HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE AS I HAD CONCERNING THIS WINDOW MECHANISM. *NM

2002 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY, 3 YEARS 11 MONTHS OLD, 46,000 MILES, RACK AND PINION FAILED. THE GENTLEMEN AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID HE HAS SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THESE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM FAIL. HE SAID YOU COULD LOSE YOUR STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. RACK AND PINION REPLACED. *NM

DRIVER AND PASSENGER POWER WINDOW MOTOR FAILURES. THEY WORKED OFF AND ON SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE ACTUAL COMPLETE FAILURE. OFTEN NOT ROLLING UP IN THE RAIN, EXTREME HEAT, AND HIGH OZONE DAYS CREATING HEATH DANGERS AND MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTIONS TO CHILDREN AND ADULT PASSENGERS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE WINDOW MOTORS. THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES WITH HUNDREDS OF OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS BAD BUSINESS FOR CHRYSLER TO CONTINUE TO LIE AND COVER THIS UP. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE EXTREMELY OVER PRICED CONSIDERING THE OBVIOUS DEFECT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND OTHER DEFECTS THAT SEEM TO BE OVERWHELMING THE MAJORITY OF TOWN AND COUNTRY OWNERS. *NM

INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN FEBRUARY 2006 IN WHICH A CAR PULLED INTO THE PATHWAY OF THIS VEHICLE, WHICH HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY AND WAS TRAVELING 30-35 MPH. OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED WITH FAILURE TO YIELD. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN WHIPLASH OF THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE, FOLLOWED BY 3 MONTHS OF RECOVERY, REDUCED WORK SCHEDULE, PAIN, ETC. THIS VEHICLE HIT THE OTHER CAR IN THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE, BREAKING THE FRONT AXLE OF THE OTHER CAR. BOTH CARS CAME TO A VERY IMMEDIATE STOP. THE AIRBAG WAS NOT EXAMINED OR FIXED. *JB

AFTER DRIVING THROUGH WATER PUDDLES ON THE PAVEMENT, THE POWER STEERING TEMPORARILY FAILS AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO "FIX" FOR THE PROBLEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE TAILLIGHTS ARE FILLING WITH WATER. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
