2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED MINIVAN WITH 49,000 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH BOARD COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT STARTED AT 48,000 MILES. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO CHECK ON RECALL AFTER READING THE PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SAID MY CAR IS NOT PART OF RECALL AND WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEM THUS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. I AM PRAYING FOR A CLASS-ACTION SUITE AGAINST THE COMPANY TO FORCE THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY 2005-2006 T&C HAS THIS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000. UPDATED 6/7/12 *CN

CHECK VALVE STUCK CLOSED, COULD NOT PUT IN GAS, HAD TO INSTALL A NEW TANK AT THE DEALERS $800.00PLUS IT SHOULD BE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY LIKE THE DURANGO IS, IT IS THE SAME TANK. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO COME ON, OR TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS ON BY TURNING THE SWITCH ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING CREATING A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD. IF YOU PULL THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH THE HIGH BEAMS DO COME ON AND STAY ON AS LONG AS THE SWITCH IS HELD BACK. *JS

THE VAN WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES FROM FLEMINGTON CHRYSLER IN NJ. AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES, THE RACK WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SOON AFTER, THE STEERING SEEMED A LITTLE TIGHT BUT WE CHALKED IT UP TO THE NEW COMPONENTS. FAST FORWARD TO 2012, THE VAN NOW HAS 80,000 MILES AND THE STEERING HAS BEGUN TO WHINE, GROAN AND SHUDDER. I HAVE FLUSHED THE FLUID AND NOW REPLACED THE PUMP. THE WHINE AND SHUDDER ARE STILL THERE SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE RACK HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE VAN CAN EASILY BECOME A SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED. DEFINITELY THE LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I BUY WHICH IS TOO BAD BECAUSE THEY'VE PUT OUT SOME REALLY UNIQUE, GOOD LOOKING CARS LATELY. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THANKS. *TR

DISCOVERED THAT VALVE STEM HAD BROKEN OFF. VALVE STEM IS ATTACHED TO TPMS SENSOR AND REPLACEMENT VALVE STEMS ARE NOT OFFERED. THE BREAKING OF THE VALVE STEMS SEEMS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE UNTIL LATER AND LUCKILY, THE TIRE DID NOT DEFLATE RAPIDLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH OF THE SLIDING DOORS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTORS ON THE DOORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 74,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, VERY SCARY AND GLAD I WASN'T ON A CURVE OR BRIDGE. I PLAYED WITH THE SWITCH UNTIL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 OR MORE TIMES WITHIN 10 MINUTES, LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. I HAD THE HEADLIGHTS CHECKED OUT AT A GARAGE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, SINCE THE LIGHTS DO WORK AT TIMES AND YOU CAN'T PREDICT WHEN THE FAILURE WILL HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SWITCH. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY MONEY FIXING SOMETHING I BELIEVE IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. MY GARAGE SUGGESTED I CHECK TO SEE IF THERE MAY BE A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST 4 MONTHS NOW SO I DON'T DRIVE THE VAN AT NIGHT. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TT
