| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH | I SADLY OWN A 'CHRYSLER' TOWN AND COUNTRY AWD 2002 MINIVAN WITH MANY ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT I'M FORCED TO LIVE WITH, BUT THE FOLLOWING SAFETY ISSUES ARE INTOLERABLE. FIRST, THE INTERMITTENT AIR BAG LIGHT, NOW ON STEADILY. SECOND, THE INTERMITTENT NON-FUNCTIONING HORN, NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AND RADIO BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK. CHRYSLER CORP DENIES MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM EXISTS YET ITS A COMPLAINT THAT'S ALL OVER THE WEB AMONG ITS MANY OTHER PERSISTENT PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER SAYS ITS SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I SAY ITS SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE CARE OR LACK OF CARE OF CHRYSLER ON REAL SAFETY ISSUES ON THEIR PRODUCTS. EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE ARE NONE, PRODUCT IS JUST SIMPLY DEFECTIVE AND FAILS ON ITS OWN. CONSEQUENCES FOR THIS FAILURE CAN BE CATASTROPHIC, THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, NO HORN AND NO AIR BAG NO BRAINS! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND RECTIFY THIS SAFETY PROBLEM, MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE GOVERNMENT AND OR THE MEDIA NEEDS TO "GET INVOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES" IF IT HASN'T "GOD FORBID" ALREADY HAPPENED. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE MEDIA TO SEE IF A SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND RAPIDLY. *JB |
| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY, WHICH I USED TO LOVE, JUST STOPPED WORKING LAST NIGHT. DROVE IT AROUND ALL DAY AND IT WAS FINE. WENT IN TO WORK, AND WHEN I CAME OUT THAT NIGHT TO GO HOME, THE LIGHTS WERE ALL WORKING, AND THE POWER DOORS AND WINDOWS WORKED. HOWEVER, THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING, THE POWER WINDOWS NO LONGER WORK, AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. IT WILL NOT TRY TO TURN OVER. YOU CAN TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE STARTER DOES NOT CLICK, THE MOTOR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL. WE REPLACED THE IGNITION/ACCESSORY FUSE BECAUSE OURS HAD BLOWN, AND IT STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SINCE WE CAN'T PUT IT IN GEAR DUE TO THE SECURITY LOCKOUT, WE HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN TOWING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE CONSIDERING IT IS THE ONLY VEHICLE MY FAMILY HAS, AND NOW WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET OUR KIDS TO THE DOCTOR OR TO SCHOOL. *TR |
