2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

SECOND TIME THE ENGINE HAS JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. FIRST TIME 3 MONTHS AGO, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS LEASED FROM THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. HAPPENED AGAIN (10/25/2007)ON THE HIGHWAY, VAN ENGINE STOPPED COASTED TO SERVICE DRIVE AND THEN RESTARTED. *TR

WHEN I GO TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN MY LEFT SIGNAL LIGHT FLASHES BUT THE RIGHT ONE DOES NOT AND WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON MY LEFT SIGNAL NOTHING HAPPENS. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR, SIZE P21570R15 TIRES. A MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A BLISTER ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRES. TREAD HAD BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRES. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT A FACTOR. NO PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. THE MECHANIC PROVIDED AN INVOICE. THE DOT NUMBER AND RELATED TIRE INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE FOR THE VEHICLE AND TIRES WERE 10,399. UPDATED 11/06/07.

OUR 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN HAD EXPERIENCED A BROKEN AXLE AT JUST 16,000 MILES. QUITE A SHORT DISTANCE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN. *JB

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. THEY MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I PUSH THE DOOR CLOSE BUTTON. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY WILL CLOSE. THIS HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT A NEW LATCH WILL BE AVAILABLE IN AUG. 2007. IT IS NOW OCT. 2007 AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART. ALSO, BATTERY DIED AFTER 25,000 MILES. *JB

NO ABS INSTALLED ON MY VAN. CHRYSLER SAYS WAS OPTIONAL. DIDN'T KNOW TO ASK. HAVE BEEN IN ONE COLLISION WHERE I BELIEVE HAD I NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN A WORSE COLLISION WITH A RAILROAD TRACK. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURED AT A STOP SIGN. THANK GOD NOTHING WAS COMING IN THE OTHER DIRECTIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY ELDERLY PARENTS AROUND SEATTLE WHEN I STARTED NOTICING THAT MY FRONT BRAKES WERE GRINDING, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LES SCHUAB TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND FOUND THAT MY PADS WERE GONE, METAL TO METAL WITH THE ROTORS. THERE WERE ONLY 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR AT THE TIME AND FAILURE OF THE BRAKES WAS PREMATURE. IT WAS ALSO NOTED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE PADS INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY DID NOT HAVE WEAR INDICATORS TO LET THE DRIVER KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES WERE GOING BAD. FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE CLEANED, ROTORS WERE SALVAGEABLE.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. IN JUNE OF 2007, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHAKE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS PERFORMING AS IT WAS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROGRAM THAT SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE PROGRAM REPEATEDLY SENDS THE SIGNAL, BUT IT DOES NOT REGISTER. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,387. UPDATED 09/12/07 *TR

I AUTHORIZE HNSTA TO WRITE A LETTER ON MY BEHALF TO: DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CENTER P.O. BOX 218004 AUBURN HILL MICHIGAN 48321-8004 ON FRIDAY AUGUST 3, 2007 WAS PARKED ON TROY AVE BETWEEN EASTERN PARKWAY AND UNION ST IN BROOKLYN NY WHILE PARKED ON THE WEST BOUND SIDE OF TOY AVE. I WAS TALKING TO SOME ASSOCIATES WHEN THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT OF MY 2006 CHEVROLET GRAND CARAVAN BURST INTO FLAMES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER: BAYSIDE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE 212-19 NORTHERN BLVD BAYSIDE, NY 11361-3193 I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO EXCHANGE THIS VEHICLE FOR A SAFER ONE. THERE MECHANICS HAS DETERMINED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT IN THIS ONE. I BELIEVE THIS TYPE OF CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD NOT FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW AS A COMMON DEFECT. I AM REALLY GLAD I DID NO TAKE THE TRIP TO NORTH CAROLINA WITH MY FAMILY AND THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY OR MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONE WITH MY TWO KIDS. *TR THERE WAS A WIRING SHORT IN THE TAIL LAMP.UPDATED 09/10/07. *JB

I WAS DRIVING AND ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I TURNED ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL BUT MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL CAME ON INSTEAD. THIS RESULTED IN THE CAR BEHIND ME NOT REELING I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND THEY REAR ENDED ME. I TESTED BOTH TURN SIGNALS AND MY LEFT SIGNAL DID NOT WORK AT ALL AND MY RIGHT ONE WOULD BLINK THE LEFT LIGHT. *JB
