2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL NOTICES. *SMD

DURING LOW SPEED, RIGHT HAND TURNS ON CITY STREETS OUR 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN 2015 PRIOR TO THE NHTSA RECALL NO. : 14V-373 / MANUFACTURER RECALL NO. : R03 BEING ADDRESSED AND HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE IN 2016 ON THE SAME DAY. THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A WEEK OF PERIODICALLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO TRY AND RECREATE THE ISSUE, CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER HAS NOT LOGGED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE TO REPLACE A SPECIFIC PART. THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND AM ESCALATING THE ISSUE TO NHTSA, CHRYSLER, SOCIAL MEDIA AND LOCAL NEWS MEDIA. *TR

WE HAVE HAD OUR VAN FOR SEVEN YEARS (BOUGHT NEW) AND HAVE ALWAYS DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THREE OF OUR CHILDREN, THE HORN STARTED BLARING, WIPERS TURNED ON, FLUID STARTED SPRAYING ALL OVER THE WINDOWS. WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND SHUT THE VAN OFF. EVERYTHING CONTINUED! WE POPPED THE HOOD AND HEARD A SLIGHT TICKING COMING FROM THE "FUSE BOX". WE GAVE IT A LIGHT TAP AND IT FINALLY STOPPED. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS WITH NO ONE ABLE TO HELP AND GOT WORSE SINCE THE LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN, DASH LIGHTS START FLASHING, FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS FLASH, AND THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS SHIFT GEARS. IT EVEN DOES SOME OF THESE THINGS WHILE TURNED OFF. WE TOOK THE FUSE OUT OF THE HORN BUT KNOW IT IS STILL HAPPENING BECAUSE SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING THE WIPERS ARE UP FROM RANDOMLY TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES DURING THE NIGHT. WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST TO HAVE TO TRANSMISSION REBUILT (TWICE) AND THE CONVERTER REPLACED. EVERYTHING ELSE IS STILL HAPPENING AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO IT. LUCKILY I FOUND THIS INFORMATION ON MY OWN. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS SUCH A WIPE SPREAD PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT!! WITH A LARGE FAMILY, WE CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY BUILT FAULTY.
