1994 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, AND CONSUMER NOTICED THE PULLEY/CRANKSHAFT BROKE. *AK

LEFT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE: PIVOT DRIVE ASSEMBLY BROKE , CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. PART IS TO BE REPLACED. BUT, IT IS STILL ON BACKORDER. *AK

LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING IN THE RAIN. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THE PIVOT ASSEMBELY WAS BROKEN. TRIED TO ORDER THE PART BUT CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS BACK ORDERED. LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE SAME PART FITS 1991 TO 1994 VANS AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 1993 VANS FOR THE SAME PART AND THIS IS WHY THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED. CHRYSLER CANNOT OBTAIN THE PART AND WILL NOT INCLUDE MY 1994 VAN IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGERIOUS SITUATUION AND SINCE THE SAME PART WAS INSTALLED IN CHRYSLER VANS FROM 1991 - 1994 CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED REPLACE ALL OF THEM NOT JUST THE 1993'S.

THE ENGINE HEAD CASTING BROKE. ALSO, CRADLE ARM BRACKET SEPARATED FROM ENGINE. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP WHILE ON VACATION. WAS SENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHICH BROUGHT MANUFACTURING PARTS TO REPAIR PROBLEM. *AK

WIRING FOR BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS EXPERIENCED FAILURE PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICE WHICH CAUSED THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. NLM

THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE ABS LIGHT TO COME ON. PEDAL WENTGOING TO THE FLOOR , CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A CRASH. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK

BELT TENSIONER BROKE IN HALF AND FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING OTHER COMPONENTS TO FAIL. *YC

LOUD CLUNK WHEN TAILGATE CLOSED. REOPENED TAILGATE AND FOUND RIGHT SIDE PISTON HAD DETACHED FROM VEHICLE FRAME BUT WAS STILL CONNECTED TO LIFTGATE. WAS ABLE TO RECLOSE LIFTGATE FOR DRIVE TO DEALER, BUT ROOF LINER DAMAGED IN CLOSING PROCESS AS STRUT WAS IN FULLY EXTENDED POSITION. I REMEMBER READING A NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT IN AUGUST 99 REGARDING UPCOMING RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAS NO INFORMATIN REGARDING ANY RECALL FOR THIS ITEM.

VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THEN ONE DAY JUST STOPPED FUNCTIONING AT ALL. WHEN PURCHASED THE WARRANTY OFFERED WAS EITHER THE 3/36 OR THE 12/12 & 7/70. WE CHOSE 3/36 WHICH WAS BENIFICIAL AT ONE POINT SINCE WE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE AND IT TOOK ALMOST A YEAR FOR THEM TO FINALLY TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM..MY CONCERN IS DO WE HAVE ANY OPTIONS OTHER WITH ANY PENDING ISSUES DUE TO THE HISTORY OF THE MINIVAN TRANSMISSIONS? ARE THE ANY AVENUES WE CAN TAKE SO AS NOT TO HAVE TO PAY THE 2,500 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION?

FRONT DISC BRAKES AR E RUSTED AND WORN OUT. THEREFORE, THEY MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE CUT DOWN. *AK
