AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. THERE IS A RECALL AND MY STATE IS INCLUDED BUT NOT MY VAN. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A FEW YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW, IT IS ON AGAIN. I SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME THING. *TR

VAN WAS MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN TURNING. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC. HAD TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION. HAD POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED ALSO. THIS VAN HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT. I SEE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT A WHILE BACK HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I SEE THE RACK AND PINION IS A MAJOR ISSUE ALSO. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AS WELL AS MY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. RECALL ON ANYTHING???? *TR

WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ON MY VEHICLE. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO I HAD THE PUMP FOR THIS REPLACED. *TR

POWER LOCKS QUIT WORKING. VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WAS LOCKED UP WHEN PRESSING THE REMOTE (HORN BEEPS, LIGHTS FLASH) BUT LOCKS DON'T LOCK. POWER DOORS ALSO QUIT WORKING CAUSING POTENTIAL PINCH-POINTS. WHEN THE DOORS ACT UP AND BOUNCE BACK OPEN, THEY SOMETIMES TRY TO RE-CLOSE BUT THE INTERFERENCE SENSOR DOESN'T STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ON A BODY PART. CAN TEMPORARILY MAKE IT BETTER BY REMOVING AND REPLACING THE IOD FUSE, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS A SHORT TIME LATER. PROBLEM BEGAN RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. DEALER WANTS 300-800 TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT EITHER COMPONENT WILL POSITIVELY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NO POSITIVE CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

THE REPAIR ONLY REMEDIED THE MALFUNCTION TEMPORARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY HUSBAND, MYSELF AND OUR 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING OUR 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING MINI VAN, ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS A LOUD BANG SOUND. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND WHILE DOING SO I LOOKED IN THE BACK SEAT TO CHECK ON MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO HAD HER FACE COVERED WITH BOTH ARMS. WE FOUND THE SLIDING DOOR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. THIS HAS TRAUMATIZED MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THANK GOD SHE WASN'T HURT. OUR FIRST THOUGHTS WERE SOMEONE WAS SHOOTING IN OUR VEHICLE. THE COPS CAME TO THE SEEN AND COULDN'T FIND ANY BULLET MARKS, THEY STATED IT MUST HAVE BEEN A DEFECT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THERE ARE SUPPOSEDLY NO RECALLS WITH OUT VIN#. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I FEEL AS IF CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I AM HAVING TO PAY $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR
