THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE HEATER CONTROL SWITCH. THE TEMPERATURE KNOB WILL NOT CHANGE FROM COOL TO WARM. AFTER I TURN IT FAST BACK AND FORTH, SOMETIMES IT MAY TRIGGER THE CHANGE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST A YEAR. ALL OTHER CONTROLS ON THE UNIT WORK FINE. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY MECHANICS WHO HAVE SAID THIS IS A REGULAR ISSUE AND ONE FRIEND SAID HE HAD REPLACED SO MANY OF THESE CONTROL UNITS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HE CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO COUNT. THE DANGER IS WHEN YOU CANT USE THE DEFROST. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, I WAS PICKING UP 5 CHILDREN FROM GRADE SCHOOL. JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL A SUDDEN THE DEFROST STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. I LIVE NEAR CHICAGO AND THE TEMP WAS BELOW ZERO. THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED AND ICED UP AND NOTHING I COULD DO. LUCKILY I WAS A BLOCK FROM HOME AND HAD ENOUGH VISION BY USING HAND TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD THAT I MADE IT HOME. WHEN I LET KIDS OUT I WENT TO PULL CAR INSIDE GARAGE AND COULDNT SEE AND HIT SIDE OF GARAGE AND BROKE SIDE OF PASSENGER MIRROR. THIS PART COSTS ON AVERAGE OF ALMOST 400 DOLLARS AND IS EASY TO CHANGE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON ANY CAR UNDER 85,000 MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN THE DEFROST GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING IN SUB FREEZING WEATHER. WITH THIS BEING A ISSUE THAT SO MANY MECHANICS HAVE SAID THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN REPLACING SO MANY OF THEM, THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE CONTROLS ON THE SWITCH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE DEFROST TEMPS CHANGES OR STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN SUMMER ON A HUMID DAY WHILE DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD ALSO REIMBURSE ANYONE WHO HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A PROBLEM AND PART THAT TAKES 60 SECONDS TO REPAIR AND REPLACE.

MY SON HIT A 2000 POUND COW AT 40 MPH. IT WAS STANDING IN THE ROAD AFTER A CURVE. HE NEVER HAD TIME TO HIT THE BREAK BUT STOPPED INSTANTLY. IT HIT HEAD ON AND THEN FLEW UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE FRONT END CAVED IN AND THE RADIATOR WAS BENT INTO THE ENGINE. THE VAN IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. WE CHECKED ON LINE AND OTHER YEARS AROUND OUR VAN HAD A RECALL BUT NOT OURS. I REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER BUT THEY SAID AIRBAGS DON'T GO OFF WHEN YOU 'DRIVE THROUGH AN ANIMAL'. I'VE KNOWN PEOPLE WHO HAVE HIT DEER WITH LESS DAMAGE AND THEIR AIRBAGS DID GO OFF.

WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND BACK WINDSHIELD WAS BLOWN OUT. LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE WAS SPIDER WEB AND ALL FOUR CORNERS WERE CRACKED OUT. FILED A POLICE REPORT AND SAID IS WAS NOT VANDALISM, BUT THE WINDOW BLEW OUT FROM PRESSURE OR FAULTY GLASS. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I WONDER WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. *JB

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

THE SWITCH THAT OPERATES THE TURN SIGNALS, THE WIPER/WASHER, AND THE HIGH/LOW BEAMS FAILS AS SUCH: WHEN SIGNALING LEFT AT TIMES THE RIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON, AND VISA VERSA. WHEN OPERATING THE WIPER "ON" SWITCH, NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL YOU SIGNAL OR USE THE HIGH/LOW BEAM PART OF THE SWITCH. WHEN TRYING TO LOWER MY HEADLIGHT BEAMS THE SWITCH WILL AT TIMES FAIL TO LOWER THEM UNTIL A SEPARATE ACTION HAPPENS WITH THE SWITCH. ALL OF THESE FAILURES ARE SPORADIC, AND WILL APPEAR APPARENTLY WHEN THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE AIR THROUGH RAIN OR FOG. (WHEN YOU WOULD NOT WANT THEM TO HAPPEN AT ALL). THESE ARE SAFETY RECALLS I AM ASKING FOR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY SEE IT HAPPEN. MOST OF THIS HAPPENS AFTER HOURS OR WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OPEN. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE TIMES. A RECALL WOULD CAUSE THEM TO BE OBLIGATED TO DO THE REPAIR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB HAVE FOUND MANY 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE. I AM SURE OTHER YEARS ARE AFFECTED BECAUSE THAT SWITCH IS WIDELY USED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY MINI VAN WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE REAR PANEL WINDOW EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THE WINDOW WAS GONE. I PULLED OVER OUT SHEAR FEAR AND A TRUCK WITH TWO MEN FOLLOWING BEHIND ME WITNESSED THE EXPLOSION AND PULLED OVER AS WELL TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK. THEY REMARKED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS WAS IN 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD WINDOW REPLACED. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 5/20/2011. CLOSE TO 4 YEARS LATER WITH ABOUT 79,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, MY DAD BEHIND ME AND MY CHILD IN THE FAR BACK SEAT. THE SAME WINDOW EXPLODED, AGAIN SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THE WINDOW EXPLODED AND MY CHILD SEATED IN THE FAR BACK BUT LUCKILY SEATED BY THE LEFT SIDE REAR PANEL COVERED HER HEAD AND FACE FROM THE EXPLOSION. THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS NOT NEXT TO THE WINDOW THAT EXPLODED. IN BOTH CASES WHEN THAT SAME WINDOW EXPLODED THERE WAS NO TYPE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS HAPPENING. JUST QUIET CALM DAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THEY HAVE NO OTHER RECORD OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER MINI VANS. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY IS SAYING JUST TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS RESOLUTION FOR I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG AND IT IS NOT SAFE. I WORRY ABOUT OTHER FAMILIES AND THEIR TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VANS ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS WHERE MOST CHILDREN SIT. I DO NOT TRUST THAT WINDOW NOW. *TR

STARTING WHEN MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN HAD 29,0245 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW BEGAN TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY. SOME DAYS THE WINDOW WOULD GO UP AND DOWN WHEN THE DRIVER'S CONSOLE SWITCH WAS PUSHED OTHER TIMES IT WOULD RESPOND TO THE SWITCH ON THE DOOR. OTHER DAYS IT DID NOTHING WHEN THE SWITCH WAS PUSHED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES, BUT WHILE MILEAGE WAS STILL LESS THAN 36,000, THE WINDOW REFUSED TO WORK AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT SWITCH WAS USED. I HAVE ASKED VARIOUS DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IF THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS NO. I ASK IF THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY NO. SINCE THIS IS SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM WITH MY 1997 DODGE CARAVAN WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH REFUSED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS, EVEN AFTER ANOTHER, CERTIFIED CORRECTLY OPERATING STALK SWITCH WAS INSTALLED AND ALL WIRING CHECKED. THE WIPERS STILL WORKED MECHANICALLY WHEN THE "WASH" POSITION WAS PUSHED. FINALLY I HAD TO HAVE A NEW "BODY CONTROL MODULE" COMPUTER INSTALLED AND ALL THIS TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND COST $741.19, I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE MY VAN TO BE "EXPERIMENTED UPON" (WITH ME PAYING THE BILL). I BELIEVE ALL THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE INSTALLATION OF A DEFECTIVE COMPUTER MODULE (WHICH THEY CALL "BODY CONTROL MODULE") DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO THINK I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AS THE VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY "PROGRAMMED TO FAIL" DUE TO THE USE OF DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AUTHORIZE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO UTILIZE MY DESCRIPTION(S) TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR
