THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD WITH LESS THAN 87,000 MILES AFTER ALL WARRANTIES EXPIRED. THIS VEHICLE WAS LIGHTLY DRIVEN AND WELL CARED FOR. WHILE DRIVING THE VAN, WE NOTICED A STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY PLANETARY GEAR ISSUE I.E. THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD.

MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN STARTED HAVING WHAT LOOKED TO BE BATTERY ISSUES AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OFF AND ALL THE DASH DIALS WOULD BEGIN TO PUSLATE UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AT FIRST IT WOULD DO THIS ONLY WHEN IT WAS RAINING OUT, SO WE CHANGED THE BATTERY AND IT SEEMED TO WORK. THEN ONE AFTERNOON IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SUN SHINING, AND COMPLETELY DRY OUT. WE CHECK THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND REPLACED A FEW, SEEMED OK BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS TIME AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A 70MPH HIGHWAY! THANKFULLY THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT BUSY AS THE MOMENT AND NEAR OUR EXIT AND WERE ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE VAN. WE CONTINUE TO TAKE IT IN BUT EVERYONE HAS TOLD US "NO ENGINE LIGHT, NO ENGINE CODE, SORRY CAN'T HELP YOU." WE HAVE SEEN OTHERS WRITE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE NOW BRINGING IT TO THE NHTSA.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, TO OVER AN HOUR, EVERY FEW DAYS OR SO, AND, DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAD SENSORS BEING AN NHTSA ISSUE WITH 06 CHRYSLERS THIS IS CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY; FOR THE 1 1/2 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS TOWN & COUNTRY I HAVE CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS, BLINKING ON AND OFF, HEADLIGHTS AND/OR PARKING LIGHTS STAYING ON AFTER I'VE TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN TURN THE CAR OFF. I CONTINUE REPLACING RELAY SWITCHES AND PARTS. ON, THE PARKING LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AFTER I'VE TURNED EVERYTHING OFF, AND; WHILE DRIVING OFF NORMALLY THE TRANSAXLE WHISTLES, SCREECHES AND BOGS DOWN WHEN CHANGING GEARS, EVEN THOUGH TRANSAXLE FLUID IS CHANGED REGULARLY AND FILTER IS CLEAN.

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OUR TOWN & COUNTRY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT A FEW MONTHS AGO. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC. ALL OF THE GAUGES, RADIO, DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF ERRATICALLY. THE WORST PART IS THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ONE TIME. IT WENT COMPLETELY DEAD! I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT DID NOTHING. SOME PEOPLE CAME OVER AND WERE OFFERING TO PUSH ME TO A SAFE SPOT. I WAS VERY GRATEFUL BECAUSE I HAD MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME SHIFT GEARS. I JUST KEPT TRYING AND TRYING AND TRYING TO START IT. IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN AND I HURRIED HOME. ANOTHER SCARY INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST TWO DAYS AGO WHEN WE HAD A LOT OF SLUSHY RAIN AND SNOW COMING DOWN. THE FLASHING STARTED AGAIN AND THEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING! LUCKILY I MADE IT TO A SIDE STREET BEFORE RUNNING INTO ANYTHING OR ANYONE! WE HAVE SPENT ABOUT $2K TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED TO NO AVAIL. I CALLED AND EMAILED CHRYSLER BUT SINCE IT WAS JUST OVER THE 80K MILE WARRANTY, THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED. THEY SAID I COULD BUY A NEW WARRANTY BUT IT WOULDN'T COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER ONLINE POSTS ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TOWN AND COUNTRY. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOWN & COUNTY CHRSYLER VAN, IT IS FINE UNTIL MY HUSBAND DRIVES IT. THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IN THE UNIVERSAL JOINT/DRIVE TRAIN/SOUNDS LIKE IT CLUNKS AND FALLS INTO PLACE WHEN TAKING OFF OR STOPPING. I TOOK IT FOR MY NORMAL OIL CHANGE AND ASK THEM WHY IT DID THAT. THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THAT MY VAN'S HAS A MEMORY OF MY DRIVING AND WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DRIVES IT, IT NEEDED TO BE PUT ON A MACHINE TO CLEAR, THAT WAS ALL. IT DRIVES WITHOUT THAT SOUND NOW. I'M NOT A HARD STOPPER OR FAST STARTER. DOES MY HUSBANDS DRIVING CAUSE IT TO DO THAT, HE STOPS HARDER AND TAKES OFF FASTER THAN I DO?
