TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE SUDDENLY GONE OFF ON SEVERAL INSTANCES, WITH NO APPARENT PATTERN. JIGGLING THE SWITCH WORKS SOMETIMES. ON OTHERS, I HAVE TO DRIVE HOME PULLING BACK ON THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH, WHICH IS NONE TOO POPULAR WITH FELLOW MOTORISTS. OVERALL, THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TO 15 TIMES. EVEN IF I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY SOLVE THE ISSUE. I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH ROADS THAT FLOOD AND OFTEN HAVE NO SHOULDERS. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS HAVE RESULTED WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE RAIN AND SUDDENLY LOSING THE LIGHTS. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

BOTH HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT NIGHT. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRIGHT LIGHT SWITCH ON FOR AN HOUR DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK. THE NEXT DAY THEY DIDN'T WORK, THEN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, THEY FIDDLED WITH THE SWITCH AND GOT IT WORKING. BUT MANY MANY FOLKS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON-LINE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING FAILURE IN CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY 2005 VAN. NO WAY TO GAIN ENTRY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO ASSIST CHILDREN & ELDERLY MOTHER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. REMOTE FAILED TO WORK AS DID THE INSIDE UNLOCKING CONTROL ON DRIVERSIDE. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. FIRST BEGAN WITH THE LEFT SIDE DOOR NOT CLOSING COMPLETELY. THEN THE VAN JUST CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING! THEN THE CABLE BURNED UP AND THERE WAS NO POSITIVE CABLE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. THE WHOLE HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $ 2100! I CAN'T JUST GET A POSITIVE CABLE REPLACEMENT! NO WRECKS TO THIS VEHICLE. VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF FAMILY VAN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND TOO EXPENSIVE! I REALLY WANT YOU TO RECONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS PART! *KB

IT FIRST STARTED BY FAILING TO TURN ON AFTER A FEW TIMES OF TRYING TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH. IT THEN PROGRESSED BY TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER A COLD START THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON BUT AFTER DRIVING IT TO THE STORE ABOUT 3-4 MILES AWAY AND RESTARTING THE CAR IT HAS FAILED REPEATEDLY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE HAD TO DRIVE HOME BY MANUALLY HOLDING THE HIGH BEAMS ON TO GET HOME. THERE WAS ALMOST AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, LIKE THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE AND TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THE POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EXCEPT MANUALLY, TURN SIGNALS FLASH BOTH DIRECTIONS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS BURN OUT SOONER THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED, WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE UNTIL YOU ACCELERATE. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE INTERMITTANT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY (2 TIMES) AND IT STILL EXHIBITS THESE ISSUES. NONE OF THE OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND UPON ENCOUNTERING A PUDDLE IN THE ROAD, THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE.
