2007 Chrysler Town & Country Complaint Log

ON THE CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY( I HAVE A 2007) THE BRAKES ARE UNDER SIZED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED EVER 10,000 MILES. MY CONCERN IS THAT SOMEONE WON'T REALIZE THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND BE IN AN ACCIDENT. HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL BE INJURED IF THE BRAKES FAIL. *TR

BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER INTERIOR OVERHEAD LIGHT BULBS (COME ON WHEN DOORS ARE OPENED OR WHEN ACTIVATED BY DEPRESSING LIGHT COVER) MELTED THEIR PLASTIC RETAINING SOCKETS AND BURNED THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS. THE PASS SIDE BULB SHATTERED BUT WAS RETAINED BY THE COVER. BOTH LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE AND A REPLACEMENT BULB CAN'T BE INSERTED SINCE THE SOCKETS ARE NOW DEFORMED AND THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS HAVE BEEN BURNED THROUGH. THE FUSE PROTECTING THAT CIRCUIT DID NOT BLOW AND IS STILL FUNCTIONING. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY; WE HAD TO REPLACE 5 TIE RODS IN 50,000 MILES. NOW WE HAVE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION; 2 QUARTS IN 3000 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TELLING DEALER SINCE 20,000 MILES WE HAVE HAD AN OIL PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS FROM THE DEALER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, MOMENTS LATER, SHE NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 54000. UPDATED 11/23/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN STOPPING, EXCEPT THE TAILGATE LIGHT. ALSO, THE BLINKERS AND HAZARD LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE. UPDATED 11/24/09

THIS IS A FREQUENTLY RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. EVER SINCE PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OR ALMOST STALL FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED ACCELERATION WITHIN MINUTES OR LESS THAN FIVE MILES OF REFUELING. AFTER ABOUT 3 TO 5 SECONDS OF CRANKING, THE ENGINE WILL RESTART.. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER OR TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. I TAKE CARE TO STOP THE REFUELING PROCESS IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE NOZZLE AT THE PUMP CLICKS SHUT. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS STALLING OCCURS NORMALLY AT AN INTERSECTION AND I FEAR AT SOME POINT, THERE WILL BE A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS SINCE PURCHASED IN 2009. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 105,000. *TR
