| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | ENGINE STALLS EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS HAPPENS ONLY ONCE PER FILL UP AND ONLY AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION AND ENTERING THE ADJACENT ROADWAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AS THERE IS NO WARNING AND NO POWER TO STEER AND PULL OFF THE ROAD TO RE-START. RE-STARTING CAN TAKE A WHILE TO ACHIEVE IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT APPARENTLY REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK? WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS IT IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS FAILURE? *KB |
| 2006 | VISIBILITY | THE SWITCH THAT OPERATES THE TURN SIGNALS, THE WIPER/WASHER, AND THE HIGH/LOW BEAMS FAILS AS SUCH: WHEN SIGNALING LEFT AT TIMES THE RIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON, AND VISA VERSA. WHEN OPERATING THE WIPER "ON" SWITCH, NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL YOU SIGNAL OR USE THE HIGH/LOW BEAM PART OF THE SWITCH. WHEN TRYING TO LOWER MY HEADLIGHT BEAMS THE SWITCH WILL AT TIMES FAIL TO LOWER THEM UNTIL A SEPARATE ACTION HAPPENS WITH THE SWITCH. ALL OF THESE FAILURES ARE SPORADIC, AND WILL APPEAR APPARENTLY WHEN THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE AIR THROUGH RAIN OR FOG. (WHEN YOU WOULD NOT WANT THEM TO HAPPEN AT ALL). THESE ARE SAFETY RECALLS I AM ASKING FOR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY SEE IT HAPPEN. MOST OF THIS HAPPENS AFTER HOURS OR WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OPEN. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE TIMES. A RECALL WOULD CAUSE THEM TO BE OBLIGATED TO DO THE REPAIR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB HAVE FOUND MANY 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE. I AM SURE OTHER YEARS ARE AFFECTED BECAUSE THAT SWITCH IS WIDELY USED. *TR |
