2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WHILE FILLING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WITH AIR, THE ALUMINUM VALVE STEM SNAPPED OFF CAUSING THE TIRE TO COMPLETELY DEFLATE. REPLACED ALUMINUM STEM WITH RUBBER STEM AS A TEMPORARY FIX WHILE SEARCHING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS TO THE TPMS SENSOR. APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO UNSCREW THE VALVE CAP FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE, THE ALUMINUM VALVE STEM BROKE OFF IN MY HAND CAUSING THE TIRE TO COMPLETELY DEFLATE. I FOUND AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT ALUMINUM VALVE STEMS THAT FIT THE OEM TPMS SENSORS AND HAD THEM ALL REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THESE FAIL. ALUMINUM VALVE STEMS ON TPMS ARE CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANT A RECALL. TPMS STEMS ON ALL NEWER VEHICLES ARE NOW RUBBER.

BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. FOUND OUT THIS IS RELATED TO THE R03/L25 RECALLS. WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VAN. IT WAS REPORTED, BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY CHRYSLER TO DATE. IT IS PART OF THE RECALL SO WE HAVE BEEN ON THE WAITING LIST SINCE JUNE. STILL WAITING TO BE SEEN BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I WISH THE TOWN AND COUNTRY IS PART OF THE CHRYSLER BUY BACK PROGRAM. I DON'T WANT TO OWN A VEHICLE FROM A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THEIR RECALL (ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOM OF THE RECALL). THEY PROBABLY RATHER PAY THE BIG FINE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND RESULTANT INSURANCE CLAIMS. PLEASE HELP!

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH SAID I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER "RIGHT AWAY" TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I HAD ASKED ABOUT THIS THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK YET. LAST NIGHT, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET, WHICH I ASSUME WAS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THANKFULLY I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST, BUT IT DEFINITELY SCARED ME AND COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING AT A FASTER SPEED OR HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSE BEHIND ME. I JUST CALLED MY DEALER TO GET AN APPOINTMENT ASAP TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PART AND WON'T UNTIL PROBABLY MID-SEPTEMBER. I THINK IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM.
