| 2001 | AIR BAGS | AIRBAG DISABLED DUE TO CLOCK SPRING DEFECT ON 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY EX MINIVAN. THERE IS A RECALL (RECALL # 04V480000 FROM NHTSA DATABASE) FOR SAME BUT SLIGHTLY OLDER VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE 2001 YEAR MODEL AS WELL. *JB |
| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC | LEASED 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY IN MARCH 2008. AT 12,000 MILES WE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKING, SCREECHING, GRINDING AND HAD DEALER INSPECT BRAKES - WAS TOLD PADS WERE COMPLETELY WORN TO METAL AND HAD TO HAVE BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND ROTORS MACHINED. AT 21000 LOSS OF BRAKING AGAIN, GRINDING, PULLING AND DEALER REPORTS THAT ROTORS ARE BELOW MACHINE TOLERANCE, PADS ARE WORN TO METAL AND ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. DEALER REPORTS THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS VAN. CLEARLY THE BRAKE MATERIALS/SYSTEM ARE INADEQUATE FOR THIS VAN AND PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE - AS NO DRIVER HAS AN EXPECTATION OF BRAKE WEAR AND FAILURE AT 12,000 MILE INTERVALS. *TR |
