2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE BACK SEATS HAVE NO SAFETY DESIGN WHATSOEVER. I WAS IN THE BACK TRYING TO INSTALL A CARSEAT IN THE ONE SEAT AND PUSHED THE BUTTON TO FOLD THE BENCH INTO NORMAL USE POSITION AND IT STARTED UP NORMAL, AND A TINY BIT OF THE CARSEAT WAS BUMPING INTO IT WHEN IT GOT STUCK, I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH IT BACK TO THE LEFT SIDE DOWN POSITION AGAIN TO REMOVE THE SEAT AND IT REFUSED TO STOP... IT KEPT GOING AFTER PUSHING IT 10+ TIMES AND EVENTUALLY STARTED GRINDING AND THEN CONTINUED TO TWIST THE LEFT SIDE METAL BRACKET THAT HELPS THE SEAT MOVE. IT NOW WILL NOT GO UP AGAIN AND I AM TERRIFIED TO EVEN HAVE A CHILD SEATED BACK THERE AFTER SEEING HOW NEGLECTFUL THE DESIGN IS TO SAFETY FOR THE THIRD ROW SEATING.

I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA REGARDING TOWN & COUNTRY VEHICLES WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, WITH MANY RELATED TO CAR NOT STARTING, OR CAR STALLING. WE HAVE SENT EMAILS TO CHRYSLER ASKING FOR HELP WITH HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS IS OUR 3RD CHRYSLER VEHICLE. WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE BRAND BUT ARE LOSING FAITH BECAUSE OUR MECHANIC/DEALER CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY, OUR 2010 CHRYSLER T&C MINIVAN HAS TROUBLE STARTING WHEN IT IS HOT (TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE OR WHEN CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING A LONG TIME). WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND HAD OUR DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND HOW TO FIX IT, WITHOUT SUCCESS. WE HAVE PERFORMED THE ELECTRICAL KEY IGNITION RECALL. PLEASE ASK CHRYSLER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND TELL DEALERS (AND EVERYONE) HOW TO FIX IT THANK YOU

THE DEALER (ATLANTA WEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 1251 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122) REPLACED THE TIPM AND THE STARTER, BUT THE REPAIRS FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START WHEN TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BUTLER CHRYSLER, 1555 SALEM RD, BEAUFORT, SC), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. RECENTLY, WHEN INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY BECAME STUCK.

THE VAN WILL LOSE ALL POWER NO MATTER THE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. WILL HAVE TO STOP TURN VAN OFF, THEN RESTART. SOMETIMES TAKES LONGER THAN OTHERS BUT HAS RESTARTED AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER A LITTLE WHILE FOR NO REASON. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS. PLEASE FIX THIS. MY FAMILIES LIFE DOES MATTER AND SO DOES OTHERS>>>....
