Strut mounts are very rusty, the Chrysler recommended repair could not be done, due to extensive rust around the strut tower. This is confirmed by many other owners of this year and generation of vehicle. The vehicle is is good shape except for this and the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect which allowed rusting in the strut towers. This problem started happening approximately when it was just 10 years old or less and got worse and worse over the years. I have not driven it for many years because it seems very unsafe.

THE HEATED SEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS HEATING UP SO HOT THAT IT WOULD BURN YOUR BOTTOM. NOW IT HAS SEIZES TO WORK EVEN WITH REPAIRS.

AIR BAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON, NO HORN NO CRUISE CONTROL NO RADIO CONTROL. WENT TO DEALER FOR RECALL ON AIRBAG STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND ALSO PAY FOR PART " IN CASE IT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS IS NOT HOW A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE PERFORMED TO MY UNDERSTANDING

THERE IS AN KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOWN&COUNTRY VAN B/T CERTAIN YEARS. I HAVE A 1999. WHEN WATER SPLASHES FROM THE ROAD OR RUNS OFF THE VEHICLE, THE WATER LANDS ON THE SERPENTINE BELT, AND CAUSES THE BELT TO SLIDE OFF. WHEN THE BELT SLIDES OFF, THE POWER STEERING FAILS TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT IT MAKES THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. THERE IS A PATCH THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED, BUT NOT DID NOT DEEM IT A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. NOT DRIVING THROUGH PUDDLES, BUT JUST HAVING A WET ROAD CAN CAUSE (AND HAS CAUSED) AN ISSUE. THE FIX IS 400+$, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER CREATED A FIX FOR, BUT WON'T RECALL. I'VE REPLACED EVERY BELT, TENSIONER, PULLEY ETC, AND THE MECHANIC FRANKLY SAID ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN YEARS OF TOWN & COUNTY.
