THE TWO LITTLE PLACES TO PRESS TO SOUND THE HORN ARE ABSURD. HOW CAN A PERSON BLOW THE HORN QUICKLY WHICH IS WHEN AN EMERGENCY TAKES PLACE IS REQUIRED. AM I SUPPOSED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND THEN LOOK FOR THE HORN ICONS. LETS PUT BACK THE STANDARD HORN RING OR PUSH BUTTON CENTER ACTIVATED.*CN

2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES SEAT BELT LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE ARE NO SEAT BELTS ON.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WHILE TRYING TO PASS. WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO PASS, THE VAN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NOT ONLY CAN I NOT ACCELERATE TO PASS, I CANNOT ACCELERATE TO AVOID AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. WHILE THE DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. *TR

VERY LOUD NOISES WHILE STEERING SLOWER RESPONSE TIME STEERING. MAJOR FLUID LOSES OCCURRED THEREAFTER. MECHANIC EXAMINED AND SAID THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM RACK, HE SAID THAT THERE WERE 5,000 ON BACKORDER FOR REPLACEMENT, I AM NOW WAITING ON THE PART FOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND PLACED INTO GEAR, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR WHEELS WHERE FROZEN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06E022000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD CONTINUE TO OCCUR BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PERMANENT REPAIR. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,800.

FROM DAY ONE OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE BRAKES SQUEAL IN TURNS AND WHEN FIRST STARTING AND BACKING UP. I DID NOT COMPLAIN TO CHRSYLER UNTIL I HAD 13000 MILES ON THIS TOWN AND COUNTRY AND THEN THEY CHARGED ME FOR A BRAKE JOB AND TURNING DOWN THE ROTORS. EVIDENTLY THEY HAVE A SERIOUS BRAKE DESIGN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE JUST STICKING THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH IT, MOST LIKELY A CALIPER PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED TO COMPLAIN THE WOMAN I HAD TO TALKED TO WAS IGNORANT TO THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
