1996 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DEALERS SERVICED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECTS. *AK THE CONSUMER CLAIMS THE VEHICLE IT STALLS OUT RANDOMLY. *TC

THE CONSUMER TOOK HER VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE FUEL DELIVERY RAIL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED. THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER CAN SEE THE GAS LEAKING WHEN THE ENGINE GETS COLD, THE GAS WAS FLOWING OVER THE ENGINE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK THE HORN AIRBAG AND CRUISE CONTROL HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE AT 45% BUT THE REAR BRAKES WERE AT 70%. THE DEALER CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE BRAKES. THE A/C FAILED, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FAN MODULE. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED. THE CD PLAYER DOESN'T WORK. THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT THEREFORE THE CONSUMER HAS TO LEAVE THE HIGH BEAMS ON TO SEE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CHECKED THREE TIMES BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY SEEM CORRECT. THE PASSENGER SEAT BROKE. THE STARTER FAILED AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE STEERING PUMP FAILED AND AS A RESULT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME TIGHT WHEN MAKING TURNS. THE REAR HEATER LINES WERE LEAKING. THE WATER PUMP LEAKED. *NM

THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE FRONT STRUT TOWERS HAD RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE FRONT STRUT TOWER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *NM

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS FOGGED UP, CAUSING LIMITED SIGHT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE COULD BE SOME CONDENSATION OR THERE COULD BE A CRACK IN THE LENSES. *AK CONSUMER HAS THE SAME CASE WITH HEADLIGHTS WITH 1996 PLYMOUTH BREEZE. *LA

OUTSIDE BRAKE DISC PADS PREMATURELY WORN, INSIDE PADS VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED. REPLACED ALL PADS, ONE DISC, AND TURNED OTHER DISC. THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY EXTREMELY POORLY DESIGNED CALIPERS. OUTSIDE PAD IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH DISK. RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT REMOVE PAD AWAY FROM DISK. THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING PART, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE. THE ENTIRE CALIPER DESIGN APPEARS TO BE FLAWED.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FIFTY TIMES IN A YEAR AND A HALF. THE DEALER HAD EXAMINED THE WIPERS. *JB THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW WAS INOPERATIVE, THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED.
