2006 Chrysler Town & Country Complaint Log

Vehicle hasn't been inspected, issue is still present. My child was able to move gear shift and change gears causing vehicle to roll down driveway into woods, without key in ignition or foot on brake. I have video evidence of occurrence and video of issue without key or foot on brake

UNKNOWN

Was rearended by an 18 wheeler doing 55 mph I was stopped waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so I could turn left. He never braked. The van was pushed 200feet before it began to roll into trees. None of the airbags were deployed nor did the seatbelts lock. All 3 people were injured.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while he was a passenger in the vehicle, the driver’s side rear sliding door failed to open, and the contact had to exit from the trunk of the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the Vin. The dealer inspected the vehicle and provided the contact with an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,000.

EACH FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE ABOUT TWO YEARS APART I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH ON A BUSY CITY HIGHWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY FELT WHAT APPEARED TO BE A BADLY BALANCED TIRE. I MANAGED TO EXIT AND STOP IN A RETAIL PARKING LOT AND INSPECT THE TIRES. WHAT I FOUND WAS A BROKEN FRONT DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING RESTING ON THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS HOT ENOUGH TO SMOKE. THE TIRE WAS NO LONGER USABLE. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO ON THE SAME VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE, BUT DID NOT RUB ON THE TIRE. IT SEEMS SO ODD THAT TWO COILED SPRINGS BROKE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. AFTER HEARING OF OTHER FAILURES I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED. I DO FEEL BLESSED THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR IN EITHER CASE. MODEL YEAR: 2006 MAKE: CHRYSLER MODEL: TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING L MILEAGE: 109775

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL BAR WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AXLE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE CONTACT CALLED LUCAS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1624 NJ-38, LUMBERTON, NJ 08048, (609) 845-0030) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO ROAD SALT. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED FROM A PRIVATE MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. *BF*JB

The horn does not work and there was a recall for this.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS 160,000 AND REVERSE DOESN'T WORK I'M REALLY TIRED OF THESE CAR TRANSMISSION FAILURE SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH I WAS HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH AND I WAS STATIONERY SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION ON A FREEWAY SERVICE DRIVE GOING EAST AND THE PERSON HITTING ME WAS GOING SOUTH. THE IMPACT TURNED MY VEHICLE SOUTH I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. IT HIT ME ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND DID $5000 DAMAGE. I SUFFERED THREE FRACTURED RIBS AND A HEAD AND BACK INJURY. MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.*DT*JB *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD WITH LESS THAN 87,000 MILES AFTER ALL WARRANTIES EXPIRED. THIS VEHICLE WAS LIGHTLY DRIVEN AND WELL CARED FOR. WHILE DRIVING THE VAN, WE NOTICED A STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY PLANETARY GEAR ISSUE I.E. THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY VAN, IT STALLS A COUPLE MINUTES LATER AFTER PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 2 TIMES IT WAS FILLED. I TAKES A FEW TRIES TO GET IT TO RESTART. BOTH TIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I READ WHERE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON OTHER YEAR CHRYSLER VANS AND NOW ITS HAPPENING TO MINE.

FUEL PUMP HAS A LEAK AT THE TOP ON THE PLASTIC LINE

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the turn signal, and brake light failed to function as needed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the center third brake light needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The contact also stated that the rear driver’s side door failed to open. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH. ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED TO FLICKER( THE LIGHTS) AS WELL AS MY HEADLIGHTS. THEN ALL GAUGES BEGAN TO ABRUPTLY MALFUNCTION. INCLUDING: THE SPEEDOMETER'S NEEDLE STARTED SPINNING 360 DEGREES OVER AND OVER. FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO E. THE TEMP. GAUGE WENT TO COOLEST INDICATION. IT CONTINUED EXTREME MALFUNCTION ALL THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION. WHEN I STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, THEN RESTARTED, THE GAUGES ( EXCEPT SPEEDOMETER) RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION. I PERFORMED MINI DIAGNOSTIC UTILIZING THE (RESET) MILEAGE TAB. IT FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING MY SPEED GOING ON 6 MONTHS NOW. VERY NERVE RACKING, AND DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

SIDE WINDOW ELECTRICAL DOES NOT WORK ALSO DOORS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK WITHOUT ME TOUCHING CONTROLS IT HAS DONE THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT. *TR

WINDOW GOES DOWN WITHOUT ISSUE, BUT IT ONLY GOES UP INTERMITTENTLY, ESPECIALLY IF THE AUTO DOWN FEATURE IS USED AND WINDOW IS ALLOWED TO GO THE WHOLE WAY DOWN. THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOWS.

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHTS UP INTERMITTENTLY INDICATING A SENSOR ISSUE. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND ACCORDING TO BIN REPORT THE ISSUE WAS CORRECTED, BUT THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED. THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHETHER MOVING OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WATER WOULD ENTER INTO THE BRAKE LIGHT CASINGS AND CAUSE THE CIRCUIT SYSTEM TO SHORT OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER (JEFF WYLER SPRINGFIELD CHEVROLET IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,166.

FAULTY DUMMY LIGHT TRIGGERS FOR AIRBAGS. GOES ON AND OFF WITH RAIN AND OR EXCESS HUMIDITY/MOISTURE. DRIVER WINDOW ALSO STOPS WORKING WHEN SUBJECTED TO MOISTURE. VEHICLE SEEMS TO START HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES OF ALL SORTS WHEN SUBJECTED TO MOISTURE.

THIS CAR HAS EXPERIENCED MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OVER THE YEARS SOME OF WHICH I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DEAL WITH. THE LATEST ONES IN THE PAST YEAR HAVE TO DO WITH THE LIGHTS AND IT'S GETTING TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM. WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF PURCHASING THIS AUTO, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK ON THE SLIDER STOPPED WORKING. ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE DEALT WITH THOSE PROBLEMS. OVER THE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY LIGHT BULBS THAT HAVE 'BURNED' OUT INCLUDING TAILLIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS, LOW AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. I'VE FOUND TEN RECEIPTS FOR REPAIRS ON THOSE, BUT THE MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN THE DARK YESTERDAY AND TRIED TO SWITCH FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM LIGHTS AND THEY ARE 'BURNED' OUT AGAIN! BOTH LIGHTS WERE REPLACED 10/4/17. I'M AFRAID THAT I MIGHT FIND MY LIGHTS NOT WORKING AT ALL BECAUSE THERE'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT SAFE!!

CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FLICKER OR DO NOT WORK SPORADICALLY. CHANGING THE BULBS DOES NOT HELP. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THEY WENT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LIGHTS TO COME BACK ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I ATTEMPTED TO SEE IF MY BRIGHTS WORKED, HOWEVER THEY WOULD NOT STAY ON, THEY WOULD ONLY FLASH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN RESEARCH IT HAS TO DO WITH PLASTIC BREAKING OFF AND PREVENTING A CONNECTION

TIPM - POWER MODULE FAILURE CAUSED ERRATIC ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ALL OVER DOOR OPENS ON OWN, STARTS STALLS, WINDOWS DONT WORK, WILL NOT START, TOOK OVER 2 WEEKS TO GET PART

2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER REFUELING TO FULL TANK. THIS HAPPENS 98% OF THE TIME AFTER FUELING. VEHICLE STOPS APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 5 MINUTES AFTER FUELING THAT ALLOWS VEHICLE ENOUGH TIME TO BE IN TRAVEL LANE WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. MY WIFE WAS ALMOST RE-ENDED 2 TIMES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES (300 MODEL ETC.) THAT WERE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER. MY VAN IS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO DEALER.

INTERMITTENT GUAGE CLUSTER PROBLEMS, ENGINE NOT STARTING EVEN THOUGH BATTERY/CABLES AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN TESTED. INTERMITTENT ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WONT RESTART. SEEMS TO BE BATTERY CABLE WIRING HARNESS WHICH IS A DISCONTINUED PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP. BASICALLY THIS ISSUE IS NOT REPAIRABLE, PAID ALOT IF MONEY FOR THIS VAN, FOR CHRYSLER TO SAY,"WE CANT FIX IT".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS JAMMED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY FORCING IT INTO THE PARK GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AND AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER NOR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,125.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A 3 VEHICLE COLLISION ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 5:45 PM. CONDITIONS ON THE FREEWAY, MODERATE-HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT HAD RAINED, SO THE ROADS WERE WET. THE HYUNDAI SUV SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I WAS ABOUT 50 FT BEHIND THAT VEHICLE, DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH, I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES, OUR VAN BEGAN TO SLIDE, AND ENDED UP REAR ENDING THE SUV IN FRONT OF US. NEITHER OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON THE VAN (THE DRIVER SIDE/NOR THE PASSENGER SIDE). MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF MEDICAL AID ON THE SCENE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER IMMEDIATELY THE DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT AT THEIR #800-247-9753 (CLAIM #31347016). NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY TOOK THEIR TIME & NEVER REALLY GOT BACK TO ME, SO WHEN I FINALLY GOT AHOLD OF SOMEONE AGAIN, THEY SAID THEY HAD CLOSED MY ORIGINAL CASE (NO ONE EVER GOT A HOLD OF ME ON THAT ONE) BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T CONTACT ME, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE GIVEN MY HOME ADDRESS/EMAIL/PHONE #. 2ND TIME (NOW CASE #31597130) AT PHONE #800-992-1997, AN "INSPECTOR" FROM CHRYSLER FINALLY RESPONDED TO OUR ADDRESS (WHERE VAN IS PARKED/TOTALLED) DID WHAT HE CALLED AN INSPECTION. I RECEIVED A LETTER A COUPLE DAYS FROM J. SUSALLA/SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS AT FCA (FIAT/CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES) SAYING CONCLUSION OF INVESTIGATION "IS THAT THE RATE OF DECELERATION NECESSARY TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS NOT PRESENT DURING YOUR ACCIDENT." BASICALLY A COP OUT AND DENIAL THAT THEIR AIRBAG OR AIRBAG SYSTEM (A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE) WAS FAULTY IN OUR VAN, AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS, AND A COPY OF THE LETTER.

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE IN MOTION, STOPPED OR AT ANY SPEED ON A ROAD SOON AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. THE ENGINE STALLING ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A FILL UP AND WAS NOT AFFECTED BY WEATHER CONDITIONS, FUEL VENDOR OR FUEL AMOUNT PUMPED. NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR CODES SHOWED UP AFTER THE INCIDENTS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING.

ON JAN 16, 2017 WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND IT WAS DARK AND RAINING VERY HARD. ABOUT 15 MIN. INTO THE DRIVE, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF!!! NOTHING ELSE IN THE CAR WENT DARK, JUST THE HEADLIGHTS! SO DANGEROUS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY! I FLIPPED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH TO OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND STAYED FOR ANOTHER 10 MIN. ON THE RETURN TRIP HOME, SAME NIGHT AND CONDITIONS, ABOUT 15 MIN. INTO DRIVE, THEY WENT DARK AGAIN! TOGGLING THE SWITCH DID HELP, AND THEY CAME BACK ON. WENT TO MY MECHANIC TODAY WHO TESTED THE WIRING AND SWITCHES AND COULD NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING. MENTIONED THE "COMPUTER BOX" FOR LIGHTING IS POSSIBLE, BUT WERE NOT DEFINITIVE. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

MY VEHICLE WENT FROM 70 MILES PER HOUR QUICKLY DOWN TO ZERO, ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, WHILE I WAS GOING 70. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT SEEMED FINE. THIS WAS FRIGHTENING AND VERY INOPPORTUNE. IT WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE AT THE TIME.

POWER STEERING GEAR ASSY. HAS DEVELOPED LEAKS 3 TIMES SINCE NEW, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. NOTICED BEFORE FAILURE OCCURRED.

MY HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF SOMETIMES RESTORES THE LIGHTS, AS DOES TAPPING THE SWITCH. NONE OF THESE ACTIONS KEEP THE LIGHTS ON PERMANENTLY. MINUTES LATER, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY NHTSA ACTION NUMBER:EA11010 FOR TOWN & COUNTRY MODELS BUILT BETWEEN MARCH 1, 2004 (MDH 0301XX) AND NOVEMBER 30, 2005 (MDH 1130XX) BUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN APRIL, 2006 AND IT IS EXHIBITING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. I BELIEVE THAT THE CHRYSLER HEADLIGHT SWITCH PROBLEM GOES BEYOND THE MODEL BUILD RANGE ADDRESSED IN EA11010 AND THERE ARE MANY MORE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS THAN HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE 2012 BULLETIN. I AM GOING TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, AND I WILL KEEP THE DEFECTIVE PART IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM, BUT I THINK THAT CHRYSLER'S RESPONSIBILITY GOES BEYOND THE LIMITED VEHICLE RANGE IN THE PREVIOUS BULLETIN AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

WHEN USING OVERHEAD CONSOLE BUTTON OR KEY FOB TO OPEN THE REAR LIFT GATE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, ENGINE RUNNING OR NOT - NO DIFFERENCE- THE AUTOMATIC GATE WILL OPEN FULLY AND THEN CLOSE IMMEDIATELY ON ANYONE STANDING UNDER IT TRYING TO ACCESS THE CARGO AREA. WHEN OPENING THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY IT WILL OPEN FULLY BUT WILL NOT REMAIN OPEN WITHOUT SOMEONE HOLDING IT OPEN OR PUTTING SOME TYPE OF BLOCK IN THE MECHANISM. THE LIFT GATE MALFUNCTION IS QUITE HAZARDOUS AS IT WILL COME DOWN ON TOP OF A PERSON AND WILL NOT STOP IF ANYTHING IS IN THE WAY, SUCH AS AN APPENDAGE OR A CHILD.

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK (FILL-UP) AND DRIVING BACK INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE STUMBLES BADLY AND STALLS INTERMITTENTLY.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WENT BAD AND MY MODEL WAS MADE AFTER NOVEMBER 30, 2005 (SEE TSB 08-052-12 DATED 8/25/12). BIG SAFETY CONCERN. NEITHER CHRYSLER NOR THE DEALER WOULD HONOR THE LIFETIME GUARANTEE OF FIXING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. COST ME $110 TO FIX.

TAKATA RECALL- WHEN IT IS RAINING OR WET OUTSIDE FROM SNOW OR HUMIDITY THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. IF IT DRIES OUT THEN THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. THIS HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS DRIVING OR STOPPED AND AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE COMPLAINED PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THIS WITH NO RESPONSE. IT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 3-5 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE MAP LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. WHEN THE CONTACT CHECKED, SHE FOUND THAT THE SOCKETS HAD BURNED AND THE ENTIRE LIGHTING SYSTEM SHORTED OUT AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO MORE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE CENTER CONSOLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY SPARE TIRE BROKE LOOSE AND FELL OFF LODGING ITSELF UNDER MY TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN. THIS BROUGHT MY CAR TO A HALT WITH NO WARNING BRAKE LIGHTS. CARS HAD TO SWARM ON THE GRASS TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY HAVE DIED, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A PILE UP OF CARS. A TIRE SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED WHERE IT CAN FALL OFF AND CAUSE A SAFETY PROBLEM WHERE LIVES ARE IN JEOPARDY. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT EVEN PUT A NEW BRACKET TO HOLD MY SPARE TIRE. THEY SHOULD BE SO HAPPY THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED AND WILLING TO FIX A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME. RIGHT BEFORE THAT I TOOK MY CAR IN AND SAID TO DO A MULTIPOINT INSPECTION BECAUSE I WAS LEAVING TO GO OUT OF TOWN. I HAD A BRAKE LIGHT OUT AND 3 TIRES THAT NEEDED AIR. THEY GAVE ME THE CAR BACK AND SAID ON PAPERWORK THE INSPECTION WAS DONE. (IF THEY HAD CHECKED WOULD THEY HAVE SEEN MY TIRE PROBLEM?) WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY MY LIGHT SAID TIRES NEED AIR. I CALLED AND ASKED IF THEY PUT AIR IN MY TIRES AND THEY SAID YES. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO MY NEIGHBOR AND AIR HAD NOT PUT IN THE TIRES, HAD TO GO TO AN AUTO STORE AND BUY A LIGHT. SOMEONE WAS IN A HURRY AND SIGNED OFF THAT THEY CHECKED MY CAR AND SENT ME ON MY WAY TO TRAVEL UNPREPARED. DUE TO THE LIES OF THE SERVICE CENTER IN ORLANDO THAT I WENT TO AND CHRYSLER UNWILLING TO FIX THE SPARE TIRE PROBLEM, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER AND WILL MAKE SURE I LET PEOPLE KNOW MY EXPERIENCE. THEY SAID NO ONE ELSE HAD A TIRE FALL OFF SO THEY DO NOT SEE IT AS AN ISSUE. SO NOW IT IS ON RECORD, SO IF IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE AND A LIFE IS LOST, CHRYSLER DOES KNOW OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

FUTURA 2000 LTE P215/65TR16 RM6V XAC 3712 I HAVE A RECEIPT DATED 6-18-2016 FOR 2 TIRES INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF MY 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN. BOTH TIRES HAVE RECENTLY FAILED, TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRE IN MAY WAS A BLOW OUT AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 10, THE NEXT TIRE WAS NOT A BLOWOUT. IN ALL MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT AND NEVER HAD TWO OF THE SAME TIRES FAIL SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. MILEAGE ON MY VAN AT INSTALLATION WAS 102130 AND MILEAGE AT FAILURE WAS 144258 AND THE NEXT TIRE AT 145258. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY YOUR QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICE AND I ALSO WANT MORE THAN THE PATHETIC 25 DOLLAR AND 10 DOLLAR OFF ON REPLACEMENT OF THESE TIRES. YES ALL TIRES WERE INSTALLED AT PEPBOYS, IN NICEVILLE, FL #1535 850-678-0887.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LURCHED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE SUBSIDED AFTER THREE MINUTES, BUT OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VAPOR LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE FAILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. UPDATED 07/13/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. UPDATED 04/04/2017 *JS *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL WAS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD POSSIBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VAN IS STALLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. IT INITIALLY STARTS, AND THEN WHEN I PULL OUT AND STOP AT THE INTERSECTION IT DIES. IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE GAS PEDAL MASHED AS I AM TRYING TO RESTART IT OR IT JUST KEEPS DYING AS SOON AS THE ENGINE TURNS OVER. ONCE IT RESTARTS, I HAVE TO KEEP THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED DOWN WHILE IT IDLES ROUGHLY FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND THEN IT EVENS OUT AND HAS NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2204-2007 CHRYSLER VANS THAT REQUIRES REPLACING THE WHOLE GAS TANK TO REPLACE THE VAPOR/FLUID SEPARATOR VALVE CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FUELING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I HAVE PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION AND START TO ACCELERATE ON A MAIN ROAD. ONE TIME I PULLED OUT AND THE VAN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGH SPEED ROAD. A TRACTOR TRAILER HAD TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE VAN WITH ME. IT HAPPENS AFTER I REFUEL THE VAN AND START TO ACCELERATE. I'VE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THEY SAY IT IS A FAULTY GAS/LIQUID SEPERATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. WHEN IT GOES BAD, FUEL GETS SUCKED UP INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER FOR THE EMMISIONS AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSES THE VAN TO STALL. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THAT LIQUID/GAS SEPERATOR VALVE IS PART OF THE GAS TANK. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. WHEN I CALL CHRYSLER TO FILE A COMPLAINT, THE GUY TOLD ME THAT THE 3.4L CHRYSLER VANS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT REASON BUT SINCE I HAD A 3.8L ENGINE I DID NOT QUALIFY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AN ENGINE SIZE WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH A FAULTY VALVE IN THE GAS TANK AND THE GAS TANK IS THE SAME ON BOTH VEHICLES. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME PLEASE? CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY SET THE PRCEDENCE ON THE RECALL AND THEY NEED TO BROADEN IT TO ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME GAS TANK VALVE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

TRUCK STALLS AFTER REFUELING WITHOUT WARNING ! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC WITH LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WITH A YOUNG DRIVER AT THE WHEEL . WHILE EXITING A STATE HIGHWAY WITH A NEAR COLLISION FROM THE REAR! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER ! BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED .

WHILE SERVICING A CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE, THE VALVE STEM BROKE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE.

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT TOGGLING OFF/ON TO RE-ILLUMINATE. NO OTHER INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE AFFECTED. PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD UNTIL GETTING THEM TO COME BACK ON.

THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. FLIPPING THE ON OFF SWITCH HELPS TO TURN THEM BACK ON, BUT IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER FOR THEM TO STAY ON. I WAS DRIVING IN THE EARLY, DARK MORNING HOURS DOWN A VERY DARK HIGHWAY THAT IS NOT ILLUMINATED WITH STREET LIGHTS.
