2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THE VAN WILL STALL OUT SHORTLY AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME AND THE VAN HAD 113K MILES ON IT WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. AFTER STALL, IT IS A HARD RESTART TO GET IT GOING AGAIN. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING MINIVAN. OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS AND DOORS NOT WORKING. I WENT ONLINE AND SAW THAT A GREAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE FUSE FOR TEN SECONDS AND THEN EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT LOCKS BUT IT DOES NOT. TODAY I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE BEACH DOING 55 AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO GO OVER TWO LANES AND WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT PLOWED INTO BY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME. I THEN PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I MADE IT HOME FINE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND I SEE THAT IT IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH A GREAT MANY PEOPLE AS WELL. WHY HAS CHRYSLER NOT ADDRESSED THESE ISSUES. MY WIFE AND I SHARE A CAR AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THANKS *TR

AT 39,000 MILES, THE 2005 TOWN AND COUNTRY BEGAN STALLING FOLLOWING A FUEL FILLING. THIS STALLING OCCURRED AND STILL OCCURS FOLLOWING FUEL FILLING. THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THE ROLL-OVER VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE REMEDY GIVEN WAS A FUEL TANK AND EVAPORATOR CANISTER REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $900. EVIDENTLY THE FAULTY VALVE CANNOT BE REPLACED INDEPENDENT OF THE FUEL TANK. INTERNET RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM BY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY OWNERS. AS THE STALLING CAN OCCUR AS THE VEHICLE ENTERS A HIGHWAY, THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE FAULTY VALVE ON THE TANKS. *KB

MY 69 YEAR OLD MOTHER'S 2005 TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS BEEN WHINING FOR OVER A YEAR. TWICE SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN RALEIGH WHERE SHE BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE WHINE. LAST WEEK, SHE WAS IN A TOWN AN HOUR AWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE IT TOWED. MECHANIC REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP, BUT IT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HE SAYS ENTIRE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACING. HER VAN HAS 52K MILES. *TR
