MY VAN CAUGHT ON FIRE ONLY DRIVING IT LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. FIRE DEPARTMENT AND COPS HAD TO COME AND PUT IT OUT.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, RPMS BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500 THE VEHICLE STUTTERS AND AT TIMES SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AWHILE NOW BUT IT IS NOW MORE FREQUENT. THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN IT LAST HAPPENED. I WOULD SAY IT HAS BEEN 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

WE HAVE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. WE HAVE HAD A MECHANIC'S OPINION HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY WE ARE LOSING FLUID. ALL HOSES, RESERVOIR HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM.

I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AC IN MY TOWN & COUNTRY. IT STARTED MAKING A HISSING NOISE THEN A DAY OR TWO LATER IT STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR. I TOOK IT IN JUST THINKING THAT THE FREON JUST NEEDED TO BE RECHARGED. THEY DID THAT AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A 1 WK BEFORE GOING OUT AGAIN. SO THEN I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY TESTED ALL THE LINES WITH THE DYE TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND A LEAK ANYWHERE- NO LEAK. THEY RECHARGED A SECOND TIME AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THEN BACK TO HOT. I THEN TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT PLACE AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR EVAPORATOR CORE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS.. REPAIR PAL HAS HUNDREDS OF THESE SAME COMPLAINTS

SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START. THE WINDOWS MAKE CLICKING NOISE AND "GEAR MALFUNCTION" TYPE NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN OR CLOSE WINDOWS. WHEN LETTING GO OF THE WINDOW BUTTON THE NOISE "GRINDS". WHEN OPENING THE BACK HATCH USING THE BUTTON, SOME OF THE OTHER WINDOWS MAKE THE SAME 'GRINDING' TYPE NOISE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE MOTOR MOUNT SHIFTED OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS, INCLUDING THE BARBERA AUTOLAND (215-333-3700, 7810 E ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19152) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 148,000. FE

STALLING PROBLEMS: VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT STOP LIGHTS AND COMING TO STOPS IN TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD RE-STARTED AFTER PUTTING IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CROSSING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND NOT KNOWING IF YOUR VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT OR NOT. IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT, IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES ON THE ONE TRIP. I THOUGHT I PURCHASED A REALLY GOOD USED VEHICLE, AND I THINK SOMEONE JUST PASSED ON THEIR PROBLEMS TO ME. MY HUSBAND'S FRIEND REPLACED THE EGR AND IT STOPPED DOING IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN STARTED STALLING AGAIN. SO I PARKED IT FOR A FEW WEEKS. THIS PAST FRIDAY I TOOK TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ROAD TESTED VEHICLE WITH SCAN TOOL, PERFORMED DATA SCAN. NO CODES PRESENT/ACTIVE OR STORED. THEY PERFORMED COMPLETE FUEL INJECTION/COMBUSTION CHAMBER FUEL SERVICE. CLEANED THROTTLE PLATE AREA. CLEANED COMBUSTION CHAMBER. ADDED FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER TO FUEL TANK TO CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS. REPLACED SPARK PLUG WIRES AND ALL SPARK PLUGS, ERASED MEMORY, THEN RE-TEST DROVE WITH SCAN TOOL, OK AT THAT TIME. THEY ADVISED US THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING CONCERN AT THAT TIME. ON SATURDAY I PICKED UP AND IT HESITATED WHEN GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, BUT OTHERWISE SEEMED OK. ON SUNDAY STALLED OUT AT THE TWO RED LIGHTS IN TOWN, BUT RESTARTED OK. THEN AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A HALF HOUR, AT THE EXIT IT STALLED AT STOP SIGN AND DID NOT WANT TO RESTART - 3 TRIES BEFORE I COULD GET IT GOING. SO DISPLEASED WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING MY DAUGHTER AND NIECES AROUND IN IT! I WISH SOMEONE WOULD JUST TELL US WHAT IS WRONG SO WE CAN GET IT FIXED.
