TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WAS RECEIVED IN MAY OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO WILL SUDDENLY GO IRRATIC AND THE CAR WILL POWER COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. IGNITION RECALL WAS PERFORMED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE PROBLEM WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. IGNITION STILL OVER CRANKS OR STARTS WHEN IT WANTS. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY DEALERSHIP IS UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE COME CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES OF BEING REAR ENDED. THIS PROBLEM IS SEVERELY DANGEROUS. *JS

THE 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE DEFROST VENT DESIGN. THE FRONT DEFROST VENTS ARE NOT PROPERLY ANGLED TO CLEAR THE LOWER PORTION OF THE WINDOW. DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER THE WIPERS CAN BECOME FROZEN TO THE WINDSHIELD AND FAIL TO PROPERLY WORK. THE VENTS ARE ANGLED SO AS THE BOTTOM 4 INCHES OF THE WINDOW HAS LITTLE TO NO AIR CIRCULATING ON THE WINDOW. THIS DESIGN ALSO CAUSES THE WINDOW TO FOG IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32 DEGREES AND NOT CLEAR PROPERLY. THE VENTS ALSO DO NOT ANGLE TO THE OUTER EDGES OF THE WINDOWS. THIS COULD RESULT IN VISIBILITY ISSUES AND INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PARKED AND WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION THEY FAIL TO SAY THERE IS A FLAW. THE FLAW IS EASILY SEEN BY A VISUAL CHECK JUST BY LOOKING AT THE ANGLE OF THE VENTS ON THE DASH BOARD.
