2008 Braun Town & Country Problems

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY, 26,500 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BRAKES. THE BRAKES HAD BEEN STUCK ON FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF MILES. THERE WAS EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE AREA WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO A POSSIBLE FIRE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS REQUIRED 3 BRAKE REPAIRS AT UNDER 18,000 MILES. WE CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME AND DO NOT TRUST IT IS A SAFE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY IN.

I DON'T KNOW ANY EVENTS LED TO THE FAILURES. THE VAN IS USED FOR FAMILY TRANSPORTATION BY MY WIFE. ITS USE IS LIMITED TO ROUGHLY 12,000 MILES OF PAVED ROAD DRIVING PER YEAR. SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS WRONG. ONE DAY IT WON'T START, THE NEXT DAY IT STARTS BUT ALL THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE NEXT DAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, THE NEXT DAY THE SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER/CLOCK/TEMPERATURE/FUEL GAUGES DON'T WORK. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHAT WORKS AND WHEN SOMETHING WILL FAIL. IT IS IN A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW FOR SERVICE. THEY ARE UNCERTAIN, BUT SAY IT IS "MOST LIKELY" THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THEY ALSO SAY ONLY A DEALER CAN REPLACE AND REPROGRAM THE MODULE. I WILL BE CERTAIN TO SAVE THE OLD PARTS. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. HORN HONKING CONTINUOUSLY, WIPER AND FLUID GOING OFF EVEN WHEN TURNED OFF, LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF. VERY UNSAFE THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAD TO REMOVE FUSES SO THE HORN WOULD NOT GO OFF WHICH CLEARED THE CODES BUT I CAN'T DRIVE AROUND THE CAR? THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER ACTUALLY SAID TO TRY AND COME IN WITH THE HORN HONKING LIKE THAT!!! CRAZY *TR

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WALTER P EDITION NEEDED WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES. *TR

I FOUND THE RIGHT-REAR VALVE STEM BROKEN, WHILE TRYING TO ADD AIR. IT APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN WEAKENED BY CORROSION. THE SURROUNDING AREA OF THE WHEEL SHOWED NO SIGNS OF CORROSION. THE VALVE STEMS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR (TPMS) SENSORS. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THE OTHER VALVE STEMS/SENSORS IN POOR CONDITION. AFTER THE SPARE TIRE WAS INSTALLED, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, UNDER WARRANTY. I ASKED THAT THEY REPLACE THE OTHER THREE SENSORS, SINCE FAILURE APPEARS IMMINENT. THE SERVICE WRITER EXPLAINED THAT, WHILE THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE, THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE PART, UNTIL IT IS ACTUALLY LEAKING AIR; BECAUSE THE SENSORS ARE EXPENSIVE. I FEEL THIS IS SIGNIFICANT, POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN THE STEM/SENSORS BREAK, THERE IS AN ALMOST IMMEDIATE, TOTAL LOSS OF PRESSURE IN THE AFFECTED TIRE. IF THE STEM/SENSOR BROKE WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD OCCUR. THERE APPEARS TO BE QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM ON CHRYSLER-RELATED INTERNET BLOGS AND FORUMS. ALSO, IT APPEARS CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, SINCE NEWER VEHICLES HAVE STEMS/SENSORS CONSTRUCTED OF A MORE ROBUST MATERIAL.

CHRYSLER 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN HAS GRINDING NOISE FROM FRONT BEARINGS. THERE IS A RECALL K-19 FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR VANS BUILT FROM 12/07-02/08. MY VAN BUILT 01/08 BUT NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE PROBLEM THE RECALL IS TO REPAIR. CHRYSLER WILL NOT EXPLAIN WHY OUR VAN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. *TR

ARE THE 1ST OWNER OF 08 CHRYSLER T&C. HAVE HAD A GRINDING WHINING NOISE IN THE FRONT END SINCE MILEAGE WAS AT @20,000 MLS. HAVE HAD THE VAN LOOKED A NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE TIRES, THEN THE BRAKES, THEN A "NORMAL" SOUND AND TO JUST LIVE WITH IT-HAVE FIXED EACH TIME WHAT THEY SAY WITH THE NOISE STILL THERE...WHILE DRIVING IT THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIBRATE...NOW AFTER HAVING IT LOOKED AT IT WAS FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS....TOO WORRIED TO DRIVE IT AS THE SHAKING AND NOISES MY FAMILY COMES FIRST.....HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE REPLACE TO FIND OUT THEY WERE EXTREMELY BAD! COST WAS $656 TO REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS! THE DEALER KEPT AND DISPOSED OF THE PART ARE WE ARE UNABLE TO GET IT TO ACCESS THE SERIAL NUMBER(WE TRIED) I WAS MORE WORRIED THAT THE BEARINGS WOULD BREAK WHILE DRIVING AND RESULT IN THE VAN LOOSING CONTROL WITH FAMILY INSIDE AND GOING IN THE DITCH. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN BUT NOW AS THE VAN HAS 46000 ON THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR VANS MFG 12/01/07-02/28/08 AND THIS ONE WAS MFG ON 11/30/07. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY: FAULTY VALVE STEMS. THREE OF THE FOUR VALVE STEMS HAVE BROKEN IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. THEY WERE THE ORIGINALS. I'M EXPECTING THE FOURTH TO GO ANYTIME NOW. THEY ALL BROKE WHEN I WAS UNSCREWING THE CAP TO CHECK PRESSURE OR ADD AIR. AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TWIST, THE WHOLE THING JUST CAME OFF IN MY FINGERS, WITH THE TOP OF THE STEM STILL EMBEDDED IN THE PLASTIC CAP. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TPMS BECAUSE IT'S ALL ONE PART. *TR

WAS TOLD TO WAIT 1 MONTH FOR CRITICAL SAFETY RECALL THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FROM RECALL LETTER: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND DODGE GRAND CARAVAN VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A WATER LEAK AT THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONER "HVAC" DRAIN GROMMET WHICH CAN LEAD TO ILLUMINATION OF AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND A POTENTIAL INADVERTENT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I WAS TOLD AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT A MONTH TO GET THIS DONE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I DO HEAR HISSING UNDER THE DASH AND HAVE LOSS A/C COOLANT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING. I FELT AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO GET THESE PARTS FASTER IN ORDER TO AVOID AN AVOIDABLE INCIDENT THAT MAY UNNECESSARY LOSS OF LIFE. NOT ONLY FOR MY FAMILY BUT OTHERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER I SPOKE TO THIS MORNING. I SUBMIT THIS STATING THAT I TRIED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
