2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

ALL LIGHTS ON DASH ON WINDSHEILD WIPER ON IN THEN STOP WORKING DRAIN BATTERY I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY IN ALTERNATOR IN POWER STERING PUMP HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING AT 25 TO 30 MPH

THE SRS (AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT) CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THEN STAYED ON CONSTANTLY ON MY WIFE'S 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN IN JULY 2020. I TOOK THE VAN INTO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY FOUND THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY PART # 68148358AA (OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULE). THE DEALER CHARGED ME $735 FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR FAULTY OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULES ON CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VEHICLES MANUFACTURED JUNE 18, 2007, TO AUGUST 31, 2008. THE RECALL NUMBER IS S07. I CHECKED THE MANUFACTURING DATE ON OUR CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER 2008 (ONE MONTH AFTER THE DATE RANGE FOR RECALL S07). I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ASKED IF OUR VAN SHOULD BE COVERED SINCE IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL S07. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THE VIN NUMBER RANGE IN THE RECALL WAS SET BY THE NHTSA. IT APPEARS THAT OTHER OWNERS OF 2009 CHRYLSER TOWN & COUNTRY VANS MANUFACTURED AFTER AUGUST 2008 ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES OF THE ORC MODULES. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED RECALL S07 IS PRESENT ON THE CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE AUGUST 2008 MANUFACTURING DATE. WHEN I ASKED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IF THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ORC ASSEMBLY THEY SAID NO AND THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME IS IF THE VIN NUMBER RANGE WAS EXTENDED BY THE NHTSA (CASE NUMBER 76954596). WOULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND IF YOU FIND THE ISSUE THAT LEAD TO RECALL S07 EXISTS IN CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS MANUFACTURED AFTER AUGUST 2008, EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL THE VANS THAT HAVE THIS CONDITION? THANK YOU!

OK ABOUT 2 YEARS I BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY IGNITION TURNING OFF AND ON DONT WANT TO GO . THEY HAD SENT ME INFO ABOUT RECALL ON CREDIT CARMA A YEAR AGO AND THEY NEVER HELP ME. THE VAN IS STILL DOING THAT.

AS I WAS DRIVING, AND WITH NO DASHBOARD WARNING ALERT, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY SANK TO THE FLOOR. I DROVE EXTREMELY SLOWLY, CONTINUING ON TOWARDS MY APARTMENT, AND EACH TIME I HAD TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR. I MANAGED TO GET HOME SAFELY, BUT THE CAR STILL HAS NO BRAKES.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING VERY UNSAFE. YOU LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SHUTS OFF STEERING AND BRAKES

AT ANY RANDOM TIME WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, CAR ENGINE FAILS, BREAKS AND STEERING LOCK UP AND YOUR JUST STUCK WHERE EVER YOU HAPPEN TO BE. TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF WAIT A FEW MINUTES TURN BACK ON AND CAR SOMETIMES WILL RUN FINE FOR DAYS AND SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY DO THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE, HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC! THERE'S NO WARNING OR NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. MULTIPLE CARS JUST LIKE MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAVE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT!
