1996 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED TO FUNCTION UNEXPECTEDLY. WAS ABLE TO START BY USING WINDSHIELD WASHER FUNCTION. THIS WAS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION AS WIPERS ONLY OPERATED FOR TWO OR THREE CYCLES. STARTING OR STOPPING SELECTION SWITCH DID NOT CORRECT THE DEFECTIVE OPERATION.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE AND RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY FOR THE CONSUMER WHILE DRIVING. DEALER INDICATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED.*AK

THIRD ROW SEAT BELT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FASTEN BECAUSE OF ITS LENGTH, IT IS TOO SHORT EVEN ON A NORMAL SIZE OCCUPANT. THIS LEAVES THE OCCUPANT UN PROTECTED IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK CONSUMER HAD PROBLEMS UNBUCKLING SEAT BELT. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE BUCKLE AND THE SEAT BELT HAS TURNED 180 DEGREES, AND THE RELEASE BUTTON ENDED UP ON THE INSIDE INSTEAD OF THE OUTSIDE. *LA

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN THE CAR WASH, THE LEFT REAR AXLE BROKE. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE REAR LEFT AXLE BROKE DUE TO RUST. *AK *JB

I OWN A 1996 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY LXI AND AFTER READING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ME ON THE UNSAFEBELTS.COM WEBSITE WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE GEN 3 SEATBELTS. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN MY VEHICLE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ASSURED THAT IF I AM, THE SEATBELTS WILL RESPOND AS REQUIRED.*AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF A FUEL TANK LEAK . DEALER FAILED TO INFORM THE CONSUMER ABOUT A RECALL OF FUEL PUMP. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE CONSUMER FOR RECALL REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHO MADE THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE, PER RECALL ORDER.*AK *NM

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME THAT VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *MR

WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH IN REVERSE AND TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE SUSPENSION, AND VEHICLE COLLAPSED. INDEPENDENT SHOP STATED THAT BALL JOINTS PINS WERE RUSTED AND BROKE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK *NM

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, NO HORN, NO CRUISE CONTROL. POSSIBLE CAUSE CLOCK SPRING HARNESS.

MY 1996 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN HAS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT LAMP IS ON AND MY CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK. IN REGARDS TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM, WILL CHRYSLER BE OBLIGATED TO RECALL AND FIX THESE DEFECT BEFORE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES OCCUR? *JB
