2000 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHENEVER IT RAINED OR THE BELT BECAME WET IN ANY WAY IT SLIPPED OFF THE PULLEY. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TWICE SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. *AK *NM

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WARMER OVERHEATED AND BURNT THROUGH THE SEAT'S LEATHER AND DRIVER'S CLOTHING. THIS RESULTED IN THE DRIVER'S BACK BEING BURNT. *AK

I JUST READ ABOUT THE SEATBELT CONCERNS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HELP GET THE BELTS RECALLED. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT AND WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT ONE ALSO. *AK

WE OWN A 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN. I WAS REINSTALLING MY CHILDS BOOSTER SEAT IN THE SECOND ROW. I WAS KNEELING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOSTER SEAT TO SECURE IT TIGHTLY, I THEN LATCHED THE BUCKLE (AND DOUBLE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT HAD INDEED LATCHED). NEXT I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE IT COME UNBUCKLED AFTER I HAD HARDLY EVEN BUMPED A CORNER OF THE LATCH WITH MY KNEE (I THINK), AS I TRIED TO GET OFF OF THE SEAT. IT SCARES ME TO CONSIDER, WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER, WHILE MOVING ABOUT AS KIDS DO, ACCIDENTLY UNBUCKLES HER BOOSTER SEAT! I ALSO WORRY THAT MY SON MAY UNKNOWINGLY UNLATCH ONE OF MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER'S CHILDSEATS BY BARELY BUMPING THEIR SEATBELTS AS HE CLIMBS INTO THE REAR THIRD-ROW SEAT! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS BY INSISTING THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER RECALL THESE DANGEROUS GEN3 (AS I NOW AM AWARE THEY ARE CALLED) SEATBELTS AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE NEWER GEN4 MODEL.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE REAR AND FRONT RIM MEDALLION CHROME COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING AIR. THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. *AK ON TWO OCCASIONS THE TIRE WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE RIM LEAK, ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE TIRE WAS REPAIRED DUE TO A SLOW LEAK, THEN ONE LAST TIRE REPAIR WAS DUE TO THE SLOW LEAK BUT HAD MASSIVE CORROSION ON THE INSIDE. *SCC *JB

WHEN BACKING THE VAN UP A SLIGHT INCLINE THE VAN WOULD START BUCKING ABRUPTLY AND FAILED TO MOVE SMOOTHLY. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *NLM 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WHEN BACKING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE. WHILE BACKING UP VEHICLE STARTING TO BUCK ABRUPTLY.

CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY WITH 3.3 LITER ENGINE. THE IDLER PULLEY FREEZES ON THIS ENGINE (SINCE 1992 DODGE DYNASTY SAME MOTOR, SAME PROBLEM) CAUSING THE SERPENTINE BELT TO COME OFF CAUSING A LOST OF POWER STEERING AMONG OTHER EQUIPMENT FAILURES POWERED DRIVE BELT. (I.E. WATER PUMP, ALTERNATER, ECT).*AK

DRIVING CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY (2000) AWD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CLEAR CONDITIONS. APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. GOOD DISTANCE TO CARS IN FRONT. CAR IN FRONT SLOWS SUDDENLY, I APPLY BRAKES BUT VAN CONTINUES FORWARD AND HITS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH THEN HITS ANOTHER. IN ALL, FOUR VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. *LA

I HAVE A YEAR 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN THE SEAT HEATER SET FIRE TO THE LEATHER ON THE SEAT. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE SEAT DUE TO THE VAN BEING UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY NOT THE FACTORY WARRANTY. FROM THE INFORMATION ON THE NET CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN 1999 AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO FIX IT IN THE VANS BUILT FOR THE YEAR 2000. HAVING TO PUT OUT A FIRE WHILE DRIVING IS NOT SOMETHING I BARGAINED FOR WHEN I BOUGHT THE VAN. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF NO ONE SAW THE FIRE AND LEFT THE VAN NEXT TO THE HOUSE? *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND WITH NO WARNING, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY COVERED UP TO 36000 MILES. *AK THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, SCREECHED AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE OUT. ALSO, THE FRONT SEAT ADJUSTMENT MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN THE UP AND DOWN POSITION. *SCC THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW MOTORS, AC COMPRESSOR,AND THE AUTOMATIC TAILGATE CLOSE LATCH ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB
