2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

UPON BLACKING OUT WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TRAVELLING 40 MPH THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH 2(TWO) PARKED VEHICLES ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. WHEN I CAME TO, I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO BEING PINNED BETWEEN THE DASH AND THE SEAT WHICH HAD SLID FORWARD WITH THE VEHICLE IMPACT, NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES, WITH INJURIES TO THE FACE FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL THAT REQUIRED SUTURES TO CLOSE IN ORDER TO HEAL CORRECTLY.

SIMILAR TO RECALL CAMPAIGN ID 14V343000: MY VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION HAS EXPERIENCE ENGINE SHUTOFF. THIS SUBSEQUENTLY DISABLES POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND AIRBAGS. TWICE, IN AS MANY WEEKS, THIS HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS.

HELLO, I CURRENTLY HAVE A MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. IF I FILL THE GAS TANK UP COMPLETELY, THE ENGINE WILL STALL. THIS POSES A SAFETY RISK, AS A SUDDEN STOP ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY ROADS CAN TURN ME INTO AN OBSTACLE AND ACCIDENT RISK. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THERE IS A CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE EXACT ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING. YOU CAN VIEW IT AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2016/SB-10074652-2280.PDF IN THE DOCUMENT ABOVE, IT STATES THAT IT COVERS MDH 0901XX VEHICLES BUILT ON OR AFTER 09/01/2003, OR MDH 0331XX VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE MARCH 31, 2004. MY VEHICLE IS AN MDH 0901XX, AND IT IS BUILT AFTER 09/01/2003. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANT. THE MDH FORMAT IS MMDDHH WHERE MM IS THE MONTH, DD IS THE DAY, AND HH IS THE HOUR. EXAMPLE: MDH 100819 DECODES AS: 10 = TENTH MONTH (OCTOBER) 08 = EIGHTH DAY 19 = NINETEENTH HOUR (7 PM) MY VEHICLE'S MDH IS 0901XX. IT WAS BUILT IN 09/2004. AND OF COURSE, IT'S HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT THIS NHTSA-ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSES. BUT THE DEALER TECHNICIAN STILL REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE. *MY VEHICLE IS ELIGIBLE TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION (15-YEAR/UNLIMITED MILES, ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENT ABOVE). I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE DOOR STICKER AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION YOU NEED TO VERIFY THIS. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME SCHEDULE MY REPAIR AT LANDMARK CHRYSLER IN SPRINGFIELD, IL? FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME OR CALL ME AT ANY TIME REGARDING THIS MATTER. IF I AM UNABLE TO ANSWER THE PHONE, PLEASE LEAVE A VOICEMAIL AND I WILL RETURN YOUR CALL PROMPTLY. THANKS, RASHMIN *DT *JB

LOST MY POWER STEERING AT 70MPH ON I75, TRAVELING FROM OHIO TO MICHIGAN, CHRISTMAS, WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. THE WHEEL ON THE RT HAD SOME WOBBLE IN IT, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED WITH VERY LITTLE STEERING LEFT. STEERING FLUID ALL OVER UNDER THE VEHICLE. I LOOKED IT UP ON LINE, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A NOTORIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY, WITH A $1300+ REPAIR BILL. HAVE THERE BEEN CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? WHY NOT? WE WERE VERY LUCKY THIS TIME.....

AFTER REFUELING THE VAN STALLS AT LEAST ONCE BUT MAY STALL UP TO THREE TIMES. THE ENGINE SURGES IN RPM BEFORE STALLING. RESTART AFTER A STALL CAN SOMETIMES BE DIFFICULT. I HAVE LET THE VAN IDLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER REFUELING BUT IT DOES NOT STALL WHILE STATIONARY. IT USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN A MINUTE OF OPERATION ON THE STREET AND GENERALLY WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT ONTO THE ROADWAY. ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES THERE ARE NO OTHER OCCURRENCES OF STALLING UNTIL IT IS REFUELED AGAIN. THE ISSUE USED TO BE INFREQUENT A FEW YEARS AGO BUT IS NO OCCURRING AFTER EVERY REFUELING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY VAN DIED.I WAS LUCKY THERE WASN'T ANYONE HURT.IT DIES WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT TURN.I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP.IM DISABLED AND I NEED MY VAN. FOR DRS APPOITMETS.

WHEN THE WEATHER IS 55 DEGREES OR COLDER MY BACK DOOR ON MY MINIVAN WILL NOT STAY UP AND OPEN. AFTER IT GOES UP IT COMES BACK DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THIS VAN HAS A HANDICAPPED LIFT FOR A MOBILITY SCOOTER IN IT FOR INSIDE THE VAN. IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE BACK DOOR TO STAY UP AND OPEN TO USE THE CONTROLS TO BRING THE LIFT IN AND OUT OF THE MINIVAN. THE BACK DOOR STAYS UP AND OPEN IN WARMER WEATHER BUT IT IMMEDIATELY COMES BACK DOWN AND CLOSES IN COOLER WEATHER. I PURCHASED THE MINIVAN WITH THE LIFT AND SCOOTER FROM A PRIVATE OWNER 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. THEY USED THE MINIVAN AND LIFT IN ONLY WARMER WEATHER. HOW DO I GET THE BACK DOOR TO STAY UP AND OPEN SO I CAN USE THE LIFT FOR MY SCOOTER ALL YEAR AROUND? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? THE MINIVAN WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION ON FLAT ASPHALT PAVEMENT AND THE MINIVAN WAS TURNED OFF IN ALL INCIDENTS. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO OF THE BACKDOOR OR LIFT BUT I CAN TAKE PICTURES IF NEEDED.

DRIVING ON STREETS AND FREEWAY IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DIE. DIES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE. OPEN SIDE DOORS FLASHERS COME ON. CHECK ENGINE COMES ON DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE GONE. HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE SOMETIMES SCARY. BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY OUTING WE TAKE..

I OWN A 05 TOWN AND COUNTRY AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN FAILING THOUGH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FROM THE RADIO SHORTING OUT, HEADLIGHTS FLICKING ON AND OFF, REAR SENSORS FAILING, UPPER DISPLAY ABOVE THE MIRROR GONE BLACK WHERE THE TEMP. AND MILES TILL EMPTY CONTROLS ARE. ON TOP OF THAT THE CAR IS NOW RANDOMLY STALLING WHILE DRIVING HAS ME IN FEAR TO DRIVE IT WITH MY KIDS. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NOT ONLY THIS YEAR BUT ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH 2012. MY MECHANIC HAS CHANGED THE ERG VALVE AND MANY OTHER PARTS BUT THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BIGGER ISSUE. CARS SHOULD NOT BE STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU LOOK INTO ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC CAR STALLING RANDOMLY YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS IN MANY YEARS OF THIS CAR AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY DUE TO THIS ISSUE WITH THIS SPECIFIC MAKE AND MODEL. I AM REQUESTING A FULL INVESTIGATION INTO ALL THE REPORTS ON THIS ISSUE SCATTERING THE INTERNET AND I HOPE ACTION IS TAKEN TO SAVE LIVES. WHEN THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

VEHICLE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. GAUGE CLUSTER FLUTTERS, TACH, FUEL, TEMP GAUGE HAVE ERRATIC MOVEMENT FLUTTERING UP AND DOWN AT A RAPID RATE. SPEEDOMETER NOT AFFECTED WHEN IN MOTION. FLUTTERING CAN BE ACTIVATED ON IT'S OWN, OR TURN SIGNAL, POWER WINDOW SWITCH OR BRAKE SWITCH CAN CAUSE THE FLUTTERING OF GAUGES AS WELL, AT SOME POINTS, FLUTTERING BECOMES SO BAD, IT WILL RESTART THE RADIO AND CAUSE THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS TO FLICKER AS WELL (OIL LIGHT, SEAT BELT LIGHT ETC...). I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING ON MY DASH BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ONLY IMAGES ARE ALLOWED TO BE UPLOADED. HAPPENS AT ANY TIME. 5 MILES, 100 MILES, 50 MILES ETC... THIS IS MY 2ND MINI VAN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND EVENTUALLY IT GETS SO BAD THAT VEHICLE WILL REFUSE TO START. THE OTHER MINI VAN THAT THIS HAS DONE THIS ONE WAS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ALSO. VIN FOR THAT VEHICLE CAN BE PROVIDED AS WELL IF NEED BE, OR A SEPARATE REPORT CAN BE MADE ON THAT VEHICLE. ONLY ONE DATE CAN BE SELECTED ON THIS FORM BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW.
