1999 Chrysler Town And Country Visibility Problems

NO CRASH INVOLVED...NOTICED AFTER A RAINSTORM HERE ON THE COAST, THAT THERE WAS THE SOUND OF WATER ROLLING BACK AND FORTH IN THE DASH AREA WHEN I WAS DRIVING..NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT(HUGE FLOOD) OF WATER COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FROM THE DASH AREA IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT...ENOUGH WATER THAT MY CARPETING WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED, AND RUINED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES..I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WAS..THERE IS SOME SORT OF DRAIN HOSE TO A WATER COLLECTION RESERVOIR UNDER THE WINDSHIELD...WHICH CAN BE DISCONNECTED TO DRAIN, BUT IN THE EVENT OF DEBRIS WASHING INTO IT...WOULD CLOG UP AND OVERFLOW..RESULTING IN THE DESCRIBED CONDITION..THIS IS VERY POOR DESIGN IN MY OPINION..SOME OF FOLKS I HAVE HAD THIS TO..DID NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON...I HAVE NOT SAID ANYTHING TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS...BUT THINK IT IS NOT JUST ME WHO HAS THE ISSUE..AND IT ALSO COULD BE A CONTRIBUTOR TO SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT..PARTICULARLY THE CONDENSATION ISSUE AND THE AIRBAG ISSUE..I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRONICS WILL FAIL...PLEASE ADVISE...I AM PICKING A RANDOM DATE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED...ALSO..HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE UNLESS I CLEAN THE DRAIN HOSES...NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE...? *TR

MAJOR PROBLEM IS SERPENTINE BELT COMING OFF AND CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THIS LAST REPAIR THAT A BRACKET WAS INSTALLED FROM A SERVICE BULLETIN DATED 7-2-99. ONLY THE FIRST REPAIR WAS PRIOR TO THIS DATE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, FORTUNATELY FOR ME EVERY TIME THE BELT CAME OFF I WAS IN A PARKING LOT.

I WAS DRIVING THE VAN AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE REAR LEFT WINDOW BURST AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES ALL OVER THE BACK SEAT AND REAR STORAGE AREA. POLICE EXAMINED IT AND TOLD ME THAT IT DID NOT APPEAR AS IF ANYTHING STRUCK THE WINDOW, BUT THAT SOMETIMES VAN WINDOWS SUCH AS THAT ONE SHATTER BECAUSE OF PRESSURE. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER. DT

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR, HOWEVER WIPERS DO NOT CLEAN THE WINDOW AS THEY DID BEFORE CAUSING LACK OF VISION, CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER ADJUST THE WIPERS AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WIPERS WERE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER SPECIFICATIONS AND THAT IF THIS ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSUMER WOULD BE CHARGED FOR IT. *SLC
