2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED, BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER SCREWS CAME APART DURING A RAINSTORM AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2003 AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON MAJOR PARTS. I CANNOT AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT, BUT I AM WORRIED WHAT WILL GO NEXT. MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC INJURY. DAIMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REIMBURSE SOME OR ALL OF THESE EXPENSES. *TT

MY 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY SUFFERED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2001 AND THOUGHT I WAS BUYING THE BEST MINI-VAN FOR THE MONEY. HOWEVER, I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED, POWER SLIDING DOOR HAS FAILED 3 TIMES, POWER LIFT GATE FAILED, AIR BAGS CAUSED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON ( REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY). ALL OF THESE WERE MINOR IN COMPARISON TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH COST ME $3078 TO HAVE REBUILT. I'VE FOUND TOO MANY INSTANCES OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THE INTERNET, I QUESTION WHY CHRYSLER HASN'T BEEN CALLED OUT ON THIS BY THE NHTSA. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IN THE FUTURE I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP, AND THE PASSENGER WIPER GOES TOO FAR. THEY WILL OCCASIONALLY HIT EACH OTHER, CAUSING THE BLADES TO BREAK OR FALL OFF. WE THOUGHT WE HAD IT FIXED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2006 IN ROCKWALL, TX, BUT IT STILL WAS NOT WORKING ALONG WITH THE WIPER FLUID. ALSO, THIS WAS TO BE FIXED BY DODGE. WE HAVE SINCE MOVED TO MONTANA, WHERE SNOW AND RAIN CAN AFFECT DRIVING. THE WIPERS ARE STILL ERATIC AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN, BUT FAILS TO COME BACK UP. SOMETIMES, IT WILL COME UP IN SMALL INCREMENTS. BUT, USUALLY, I HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME FOR IT TO WORK. IF IT'S RAINING AND THE WINDOW IS ACCIDENTALLY OPENED, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET BACK UP IF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND ALSO POTENTIALLY GETTING THINGS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WET THAT SHOULDN'T GET WET. *NM

I HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW OF MY CHRYSLER 2001 TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE WINDOW WOULD GO DOWN BUT WOULD NOT GO UP EXCEPT IN INCREMENTS OF AN INCH OR TWO. MY NEPHEW ALSO HAS A CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. HE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM AND DID THE SAME REPAIR. BOTH NOW WORK. I WAITED ALMOST A YEAR BEFORE REPLACING THE MOTOR BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. *JB
