2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

CHECKING RECALLS AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V008000 INVOLVING AIRBAG SENSORS. VIRGINIA AND TENNESSE AND OTHER NORTHERN STATES WERE LISTED BUT NOT NORTH CAROLINA. WHY WAS THAT?. IF THIS IS A COLD CLIMATE ISSUE, MY VEHICLE SPENDS TIME IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NC WHICH HAS A CLIMATE LIKE NORTHERN STATES. SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT MY AIR BAGS FUNCTIONING WHEN NEEDED IF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR IN MANY OTHER STATES REQUIRED A RECALL AND REPAIR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 8/10/15*CN THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE CANISTER IN THE FUEL TANK. UPDATED 08/18/15

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, TO OVER AN HOUR, EVERY FEW DAYS OR SO, AND, DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAD SENSORS BEING AN NHTSA ISSUE WITH 06 CHRYSLERS THIS IS CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY; FOR THE 1 1/2 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS TOWN & COUNTRY I HAVE CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS, BLINKING ON AND OFF, HEADLIGHTS AND/OR PARKING LIGHTS STAYING ON AFTER I'VE TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN TURN THE CAR OFF. I CONTINUE REPLACING RELAY SWITCHES AND PARTS. ON, THE PARKING LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AFTER I'VE TURNED EVERYTHING OFF, AND; WHILE DRIVING OFF NORMALLY THE TRANSAXLE WHISTLES, SCREECHES AND BOGS DOWN WHEN CHANGING GEARS, EVEN THOUGH TRANSAXLE FLUID IS CHANGED REGULARLY AND FILTER IS CLEAN.

TOOK A TRIP SOUTH, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED TO EAT AT A RESTAURANT, AND STARTED UP THE ENGINE, THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND EVENTUALLY CAME BACK ON. THE LONGER I DROVE THELONGER IT STAYED ON. NOW IT COMES ON BUT NOT THAT OFTEN. AM I IN DANGER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VENT FANS STOPPED WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODED AND CRACKED CAUSING THE AIRBAG WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD TO DISPLAY -- WARNING DRIVER THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE INOPERABLE AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE ENHANCED AIRBAG PROTECTION AS THESE SENSORS WERE DESIGNED TO DO. IN OTHER WORDS, THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF A FRONT END COLLISION OCCURRED. *TR

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DASHBOARD LIGHT SEVERAL YEARS BACK. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH CHRYSLER DEALER AND WHEN I WENT THERE, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. THEY SD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK .... NEVER CALLED ME BACK ..... SEVERAL LIGHTS STILL STAYING AFTER ENGINE IS PUT INTO GEAR .... NEVER SURE WHEN TO CHECK BRAKES .... ABS SYSTEM .... EVEN ENGINE CHECK COMES ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY .... WAS THERE EVER AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY LG STOW AND GO MODELS??? *TR

EVERY TIME MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IS FILLED WITH FUEL WHEN DRIVING OFF WITHIN MINUTES THE ENGINE DIES AND START UP TAKES SEVERAL TRIES. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC RISKING THE VEHICLE BECOMING DISABLED AND SUBJECT TO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES POWER STEERING ALSO BECOMES DISABLED. LETS HOPE NO ONE FILLS UP NEAR A RAILROAD TRACK. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM RECALLING SEVERAL OF THEIR MAKES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM KNOWING THEY HAVE THE SAME GAS TANK ON MORE THAN A FEW OF THEIR MODELS. *TR

I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE FIRST IS THAT IT CUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MOST LUCKILY WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION OR STOP LIGHT BUT IT HAS CUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE RECENTLY. IT ALSO HAS A LIGHT ISSUE, THE LIGHTS WILL CUT ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, I HAVE WOKE UP DURING THE NIGHT TO FIND THE HEADLIGHTS SHINING IN THE HOUSE WHEN THEY DO THIS THERE IS NO WAY TO CUT THEM OFF, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY CUT OFF BY THEMSELVES. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE POWER STEERING WHINES WHEN I DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CHECKED THE FLUID AND IT IS FULL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE TURNED ITSELF OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AWAY FROM FLOWING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY VAN INTO THE MECHANIC AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A FAULTY ROLL-OVER VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, WHICH WAS ALLOWING GASOLINE TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE. I HAD FILLED MY TANK UP WITH GASOLINE PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING AND THE MECHANIC BELIEVES THAT THE PRESSURE OF THE GASOLINE ON THE VALVE ALLOWED THE GAS TO ESCAPE INTO THE ENGINE. I AM SO THANKFUL THIS HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AND NOT A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I AM FURIOUS THEY WERE PUT IN JEOPARDY OVER A FAULTY PART. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A HUGE BILL TO GET THE VALVE REPLACED TO MAKE MY VAN SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. *TR
