2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, WITHOUT ANY KNOWN OTHER DAMAGE OR EVENT TO THE CAR. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM IS $2200. THE SAFETY SYSTEM GIVES AN AUDIBLE "DING, DING, DING" ALERT PERIODICALLY AND THE SENSOR LIGHTS ON THE MIRROR ARE ALWAYS LIT. VERY DISTRACTING.

ALL SAFETY FEATURES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING, REAR CROSS PATH DETECTION, PARK ASSIST, REAR VIEW CAMERA, AND COMPASS ALL STOPPED. I WAS TOLD THIS IS FROM DRIVING THE CAR IN THE WINTER! APPARENTLY, THERE ARE TWO MODULES LOCATED BEHIND THE BUMPER THAT HAVE CORRODED SEVERELY. THE SNOW AND SALT IS THROWN OFF THE TIRES DIRECTLY ON THESE INTEGRATED UNITS THAT ARE NOT SEALED SUFFICIENTLY AND SO THE UNITS CORRODE AND FAIL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A DESIGN FAILURE. THESE CRITICAL UNITS THAT RUN ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED SO CARELESSLY AND NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED. PLEASE SEE CHRYSLER RECALLS AND FIXES THIS DESIGN FAILURE. THANK YOU.
