STEERING
WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND STANDING WATER THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. WATER SOMEHOW GETS THE BELTS WET, WHICH HAVE A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND, WITH THAT THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAS HAPPENED SINCE I CAME INTO POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE SPLITTERS AND SHUTS OFF AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. VERY DANGEROUS AS THIS CAN CAUSE COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS AFTER ALMOST EVERY GAS FILL. HAS OCCURRED FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW. ONLY HAPPENS AFTER GAS FILL UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR MINIVANS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLDER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT OPERATE ON LOW BEAM. OCCASIONALLY WILL COME ON WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH SURFACES BUT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE TIPM (FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD) BEING DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEM BY A REPUTABLE MECHANIC. HEADLIGHT BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED, HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED (THEY WERE "FOGGY" ANYWAY), FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, HEADLIGHT SWITCH HAS BEEN TESTED (SWAPPED WITH A KNOWN GOOD SWITCH) AND THE HEADLIGHT IS STILL NOT WORKING. BLUBS USED ON PASSENGER SIDE WERE TESTED ON DRIVER SIDE AND ARE WORKING PROPERLY. NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN REPORTED, MANY VIDEOS AND ARTICLES ON-LINE REGARDING THE ISSUE AND STILL NO RESOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE TIPM AND IT IS CORRECTED?

AIR BAGS
I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE UNDER DASH DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG IS A LARGE METAL BRACKET , THAT IS STRAPPED TO THE FRONT OF THE AIR BAG. THE METAL PLATE STUCK ME IN THE SHIN, RIGHT LEG AND CREATED A BONE CONTUSION AND 3 INCH HIGH HEMATOMA. THE HOSPITAL SAID IT WAS THE WORST ONE THEY HAD SEEN 3 MONTHS LATER I AM STILL IN AWFUL PAIN AND OUT OF WORK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AFTER SPEAKING TO SEVERAL SHOPS WHO SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A DESIGN WITH A STEAL PLATE IN FRONT OF AN AIRBAG. CHRYSLER REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THEY DID SEND AN INSPECTOR. MORE SPECIFICALLY THE AIR BAG IS MOUNTED TO THE VAN STRUCTURE THEN, NYLON STRAPS ARE SEWED TO A STEAL PLATE IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG, A PLASTIC COVER UNDER THE DASH CLIPS INTO THE STEAL PLATE. IN MY CASE THE PLASTIC COVER DROPPED AND BROKE AND STEEL PLATE HIT ME. THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE WAY FOR THE ACTUAL AIRBAG TO PROTECT THE DRIVER BEING THE STEAL IN FRONT OF IT. VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED TO BE SO INJURED BY SOMETHING THEY DESIGNED SO POORLY. THEN THEY REFUSE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I WOULD HIGHLY CAUTION ANY OTHER CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY DRIVERS. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I AM A YOUNG WOMAN WITH STRONG HEALTHY BONES. I COULDN'T IMAGINE IF A SENIOR PERSON HAD THIS HAPPEN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T RETURN TO ON AFTER STARTING. CAUSES DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS NOT TO WORK AND FLASHERS WON'T WORK. IF I PUT RIGHT SIGNAL ON THE LEFT WILL FLASH. IF I MANUALLY MOVE IT TO ON POSITION THEN EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS WAS DISCOVERED AND STOPPED WHEN I FOUND OUT WHY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FRI., JUL 28, WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (5 MPH) TO GET INTO A FUNERAL PROCESSION MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED MIDWAY THROUGH A SLIGHT TURN LEFT. A BATTERY ICON LIT UP AS WELL AS "PCM" MESSAGE. THIS CAUSED ME TO BLOCK TRAFFIC. IT WAS RAINING AND I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I HAD NOT YET MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED. ALTHOUGH I HAD TURNED THE CAR OFF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED AND THE ODOMETER CONTINUOUSLY SWITCHED BETWEEN 0 AND 5 MI. WHENEVER I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR THE ALARM WENT OFF AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS DISCONNECTED. THE KEY FOB HAS A NEW BATTERY AND IT NEVER LEFT THE CAR. IT TOOK NEARLY 30 MINUTES FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO STOP FLASHING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
LAST WEEK, WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO OF REFUELING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE CAR STALLED COMPLETELY - ELIMINATING STEERING CONTROL AND MAKING BRAKING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE OPPOSITE CURB AND OBSTRUCT TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 7 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AS I'VE EXITED THE PUMPS AT THE GAS STATION AND ALSO AFTER I'VE EXITED THE STATION AND TURNED ONTO A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AS I TURNED ONTO A FREEWAY ON-RAMP. IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER TURNING AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. I HAVE REPORTED THIS FRIGHTENING SITUATION TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THE MATTER. WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN, I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO ALSO COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUST LIKE THE MODEL BEFORE 2007, MY VAN SUDDENLY STOPPED TAKING FUEL. IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUEL, TAKING 30-45 MINUTES USING A GAS CAN AND GOING SLOW. REFUELING AT A GAS STATION IS NOT AN OPTION. THIS JUST HAPPENED ONE DAY, AFTER NO CHANGES OR SYMPTOMS. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN ANY MODELS FURTHER THAN WHATS ALREADY BEEN DONE, THOUGH THE PROBLEM CLEARLY EXTENDS BEYOND JUST THE 2002-2006. THIS IS NOW BASICALLY AN INOPERABLE AND EXPENSIVE DRIVEWAY DECORATION.
