2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

USED LEFT BLINKER, BLINKER BEGAN TO BLINK ERRATICALLY, THEN THE RIGHT BLINKER STARTED TO WORK (WITH THE BLINKER ARM SET FOR THE LEFT). *TR

2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR A NOISE HEARD WHEN STEERING. DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS. NOW, CAR IS MAKING A MUCH LOUDER NOISE AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1300. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHRYSLER AND THESE FAULTY STEERING COLUMNS SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND REPLACED BY THEM. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND DO NOT HAVE $1300 TO PUT INTO THIS LEMON OF A CAR THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE FIXED WHEN I INITIALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. TONIGHT AT 8:30 I TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND STARTED OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF FLIPPING THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF WITH NO SUCCESS, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON. 15 MINUTES LATER, WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40+MPH WITH 3 MONTH OLD TWIN GRANDBABIES AND TWO OLDER CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTS TURN OFF FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS OR MORE AND THEN RETURN BACK ON FOR EVEN LESS TIME, WHEN THEY RESUME TO TURNING OFF AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE MAKING IT HOME. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010 WITH NO IDEA THAT THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILING. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH THE INTENTION TO SAFELY CARRY MY TWIN GRANDCHILDREN AND IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTION AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THEY WILL TURN OFF, FLASH OR NOT EVEN TURN ON WHEN NEEDED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, AND IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. *TR

IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO TURN THE SWITCH ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT TURNED BACK ON. THIS KEPT COMING BACK EVERY NOW AND THEN. SOME TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL QUIT WORKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN ONE DAY THEY WOULD JUST COME BACK ON, AND STAY ON FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. REPLACED HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND HEADLIGHT BULBS, CLEAN ALL THE FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX, PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. THIS PROBLEM COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHER ROAD USERS. *TR
