Problem with Electrical System

Apr 27, 2017 - Diana, TX - Electrical System
WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLING OR BEING DRIVEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WILL BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROBLEM ONE CAN HEAR A SHORT BELL TONE COMING FROM THE DASH AREA. THE GAUGE NEEDLES MOVE FROM ONE EXTREME TO ANOTHER, AT IDLE OR LOW SPEED THE ENGINE WILL DIE LOOSING ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. AFTER APPROX 1-2 MINUTES THE VAN WILL RESET AND IT CAN BE RESTARTED. WHILE THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING THERE IS A STEADY CLICKING COMING FROM THE DASH AND IN THE FUSE PANEL. AT SPEEDS ABOVE APPROX 15 MPH AND ENGINE RPMS ABOVE 1750 THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE. THIS VAN IS USED TO TRANSPORT A DISABLED PERSON. SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE SAFE TRANSPORTATION. THIS VAN IS NOT SAFE AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITIES SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG EVEN WHEN THE DASH CLUSTER AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEALER AND A REPAIR FACILITY I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BUT NO CHANGE IN VANS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE.

WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL ROAD AT NIGHT, SHORTLY AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND DISABLING WINDSHEILD WIPERS: THE HEADLIGHTS AND ENTIRE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. PULLING BACK ON THE BLINKER LEVER AND HOLDING IT BACK ACTIVATED THE BRIGHTS AND THOSE WORKED. AFTER TOGGLING HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHTS REACTIVATED. THIS FAILURE MODE DOESN'T EXACTLY MATCH EA11010, WHICH CLAIMS THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS IN OPERATION WHILE ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL. HOWEVER I AM UNCLEAR ON WHETHER MY VAN'S PROBLEM COULD STILL BE AT LEAST PARTLY CAUSED BY THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, SO I WILL REPLACE IT AT MY OWN COST. MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE SWITCH UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND OTHERWISE THEY WILL CHARGE A $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE... MORE THAN THE COST OF THE SWITCH! I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT TRICK! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DECISION TO NOT RESOLVE EA11010 WITH A RECALL. HEADLIGHTS FAILING WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS TOO INTERMITTENT TO DIAGNOSE ON DEMAND. THUS A RECALL IS THE ONLY APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO ENSURE SAFETY. INSTEAD, IN ORDER TO PROACTIVELY PROTECT MY FAMILY, I AM FORCED TO SPEND MY OWN MONEY FOR REPLACEMENT. I THOUGHT THE NHTSA WAS HERE TO HELP?

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER TO VARYING DEGREES ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SOMETIMES CAUSES THE ENGINE TO DIE WHILE CAR IS IN TRANSIT THEREBY CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO IS A DANGER AND ANNOYANCE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT NIGHT. SEVERAL ENTITIES HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING ATTEMPTS BY MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL ONGOING AS OF 2-16-16 AND BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2007.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS AN ISSUE: THE SASH AND ENGINE TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN. WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN, ALL THE LIGHTS, MILEAGE DISPLAY, DRIVE SELECTOR, AND RADIO RESETS TO IT DEFAULT. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH NEEDLES GO TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED SO THAT I CAN PUT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE POWER COMES BACK UP AND THE NEEDS ON THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACK START RECYCLING. WHEN MECHANICS FROM FIRESTONE AND A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HERE ATTEMPTED TO FIND THE ISSUE, THERE WERE NO CODES TO TRACE.

SINCE ABOUT MARCH OF THIS YEAR, OUR VAN HEADLAMPS WILL NOT TURN ON WITH THE SWITCH. IT TAKES PLAYING WITH THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY GO ON. RECENTLY THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OFF AS WE ARE DRIVING, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PLAY WITH THE SWITCH TO GET THE LIGHTS TO GO ON. ALSO AS WE PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE DASH LIGHTS WILL GO ON BY THEMSELVES. CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR OFTEN AS IF THERE IS A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. WE TOOK THE BATTERY TO THE LOCATION WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT AND THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM, AND BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM PASSED ALL TEST. IN OTHER INCIDENTS WHICH MAY OR NOT BE RELATED OUR POWER SLIDING DOORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE LEFT SIDE DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL, AND THE RIGHT SIDE CLOSES AND OPENS WHEN THE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED. IT TAKES TWO TRIES BEFORE IT LOCKS PROPERLY. WHEN WE TAKE THE VAN TO THE LOCAL DEALER THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THESE ISSUES, AND HAVE BEEN QUOTED $300-600 TO REPAIR EACH INCIDENTS. WE APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE REGARDING THESE ISSUES.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD COMPLETE WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WERE MANY CLOSE CALLS INCLUDING ALMOST BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. SHAKEN, I CALLED THE CAR AGENCY EVERY TIME I HAD AN EXPERIENCE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AFTER EACH INCIDENT BOTH IN NJ AND IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ON EVERY OCCASION, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND NO ERROR CODES WERE PRODUCED FROM THE COMPUTER. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR BULLETINS, AND DEMANDED THAT A CHRYSLER REP. REVIEW THE COMPLAINTS, TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE SINCE TRADED IN THE VEHICLE FOR A KIA BUT FEEL COMPELLED TO REPORT THIS AFTER READING REPORTS ABOUT THIS FOR CARS 2007-2009. THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS FURTHER BACK THAN BEING REPORTED.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN/COUNTRY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AFTER MY HAND/PURSE RAN INTO THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I COASTED TO A STOP. LUCKILY, SINCE IT WAS ON A SIDE STREET WITH NO ONE BEHIND ME I WAS ABLE TO REMAIN CALM, PUT IT INTO PARK AND STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THEN. I HAVE MADE SURE TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD ON MY KEYCHAIN, ONLY HAVING 2 KEYS AND NOTHING ELSE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH!!! THAT IS WHY I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT. THE KEY SURELY SHOULD HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE BUILT INTO IT THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN AND IN GEAR (DRIVE). A SIMPLE BUMP SHOULD NOT MAKE THAT KEY MOVE INTO A NON-DRIVABLE POSITION. I THINK A DEFECT LIKE THIS COULD INDEED CAUSE A FATAL CRASH AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. MY DEALERSHIP ASSURES ME ALL MY RECALLS ARE UP TO DATE.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS ALL GO ON, THEN THE GAUGES STOP WORKING, THE TRIP COMPUTER STOPS FAILS, THE LIGHTS FLICKER HIGH TO LOW OR LOW TO HIGH BEAM AND CAN'T BE CHANGED SOMETIMESTHE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 25-75 MPH! THE FIRST INDICATOR SEEMS THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AS BEING "OFF". SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS & GAUGES GO BACK TO NORMAL. A GUARANTEED SHORT-TERM FIX IS TO REMOVE THE BATTERY TO RESET THE BATTERY BUTTON UNDER THE BATTERY, OR TAKE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OFF & GROUND IT AGAINST AN EXPOSED BOLT. MANY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN FOOLED INTO BUYING A NEW BATTERY, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM RE-ARISE, INADVERTENTLY "FIXED" WHEN THE A NEW BATTERY, BUT JUST LIFTING THE OLD BATTERY A LITTLE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME SHORT-TERM TRICK. THE SEQUENCE OF FAILURE SEEMS TO BE (RAIN INFLUENCED?): AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, LIGHTS FLICKER, ALL GAUGES & GEAR POSITION INDICATORS LIGHT UP, SPEEDO & TACH PULSE THEN FAIL, THEN YOU CAN JUST DRIVE WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIT -NO TACH OR SPEEDO...THEN EVERY THING RESETS IN 10 SECONDS TO 10 MINUTES, OR, DASH LIGHTS GO OUT THEN THE ENGINE QUITS, LEAVING YOU DRIVING A POWERLESS ROLLING BRICK IN TRAFFIC, FIGHTING THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING, HAVING ONLY INERTIA (IF YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO HAVE THROWN THE VAN INTO NEUTRAL) TO COAST OFF THE ROAD, THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, ETC. OUR DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSIS WAS A "BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER" - HARDLY, AS I DON'T SEE HOW DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY WILL INSTANTLY "FIX" THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR A WHILE, OR HOW THE CLUSTER WILL AFFECT SWITCHING BETWEEN HIGH & LOW BEAMS, OR KILL THE ENGINE AFTER A SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. THIS IS A WELL KNOW PROGRESSIVELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, OF FAILURE LEADING TO SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THERE ARE MANY, MANY ELECTRICAL COMPLAINTS RELATING TO ELECTRICAL FAILURES REGARDING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND ENGINE POWER.

STARTED WITH ERRATIC JUMPING OF INSTRUMENT NEEDLES SYNCHRONOUS WITH ELECTRICAL POPPING IN SOUND SYSTEM AND FLICKERING OF ALL LIGHTS. HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO NOW, KILLING THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WHILE UNDER POWER CONDITIONS, LEAVING VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND NECESSITATING SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL WHILE AT FULL ROAD SPEED, AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE TO REGAIN OPERATIVE CONTROL, ALL WHILE IN OPERATION ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR OCCASIONS DURING THE PAST THREE WEEKS TO THIS DATE. VEHICLE ALSO HAS ELECTRICAL "HICCUPS" RESULTING IN DISENGAGEMENT OF TRANSMISSION UNDER OPERATING CONDITIONS, WHICH HAS SO FAR (SIX INCIDENCES) RE-ENGAGED WITHIN TEN SECONDS PURSUANT.THIS MORNING, JULY 11, 2013, WHILE AWAITING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE KILLED AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM LOCKED UP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, INCLUDING INABILITY TO MOVE SHIFTER, NO RESPONSE TO KEY IN IGNITION; COMPLETE SHUTDOWN. APPROXIMATELY FOUR TO FIVE MINUTES LATER, IT SUDDENLY UNLOCKED, WAS ABLE TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED, AND DRIVEN AWAY WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY DIFFICULTY, AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. ALL OF THE ABOVE EVENTS HAVE BEEN SIMILARLY INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF CHRYSLER TRUCKS AND MINIVANS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PARTS IT INSTALLS IN IT'S PRODUCTS AND NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND CORRECT THESE VERY REAL AND EXPENSIVE SAFETY HAZARDS AT THE FIRST POSSIBLE MOMENT.

HOWEVER, USING THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER ON THE COLUMN TO HOLD THE BRIGHTS ON DOES RESULT IN BRIGHTS ONLY - IF YOU HOLD THE LEVER CONTINUOUSLY.

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY LIMITED MINIVAN, BOUGHT NEW IN OCTOBER 2004. I HAVE HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUES (HEADLIGHTS BRIGHTEN AND DIM, INSIDE LIGHTS BRIGHTEN AND DIME, RADIO STATION CHANGES UNEXPECTEDLY) SINCE THE FIRST 6 MONTHS TO 1 YR I HAD THE CAR. (FUNNY, FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE ALL NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHILE WE ARE DRIVING WITHOUT ME POINTING IT OUT!)! I ALLOWED MY DEALER TOO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS EACH TIME. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY WERE DOING ALL THEY COULD, BUT HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE TIME DUPLICATING THE ISSUES. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT, UP TO 3 WEEKS+ AT A TIME. I AM ALWAYS GIVEN A LOANER AND THE DEALER SERVICE IS GREAT, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE A CAR THAT WORKS. I HAVE 3 BOYS AGES 13,10 & 8. MY 10 & 8 YR ARE SEVERELY AUTISTIC. BUYING A NEW CAR IS JUST NOT AN OPTION. THE LEMON LAWS DON'T APPLY BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEMS HAVE STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. CHRYSLER CORPORATE HAS BEEN NO HELP (THE AREA REP INFERRED THAT I WAS A LIAR). THEY "GRACIOUSLY" OFFERED ME ANOTHER YEAR ON MY 7YR/70,000 MILE WARRANTY. WHEN I USED SERVICE UNDER THIS NEW WARRANTY THE DEDUCTIBLE ROSE BY $50. THE DEALERSHIP OWNER NOR MYSELF HAD ANY IDEA THAT THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASE. THEY JUST TOLD US THAT COVERAGE WOULD EXTEND ANOTHER YEAR BEYOND THE ORIGINAL EXPIRATION DATE. MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT CHRYSLER FOR THE NAME AND BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. BOY WERE WE DUPED. WE SPENT OVER $32,000 FOR A CAR THAT WE WOULD DRIVE FOR MANY YEARS. HERE WE ARE 7 YEARS AND 65,000 MILES LATER AND MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP ALMOST MONTHLY! PLEASE HELP, ALL I WANT IS A CAR THAT I CAN DRIVE WITH CONFIDENCE. AT THIS POINT ALL THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN REPLACED AND WE STILL HAVE ISSUES! THANKS FOR LISTENING,

LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH. HIGH BEAMS WORKED ONLY IF LEVER WAS HELD DOWN, AND I HAD TO DRIVE LIKE THIS FOR AN HOUR. OVER THE PAST 2-3 YEARS THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLICKER OR TURN OFF, BUT I COULD USUALLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BY TOGGLING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS WOULD OCCUR PERIODICALLY, WITH SEVERAL MONTHS IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS. IN MAY AND JUNE OF THIS YEAR, THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY, WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS FINALLY OCCURRING. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE 6-15-12 AND THE HEADLIGHTS OPERATED FINE UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK- 7-11-12, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER AGAIN AND WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ONLY 5MPH IN PARKING GARAGE.

JUST RECENTLY IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN, THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET AND IN INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER, RAN ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS TEST AND NOTHING SHOWS UP. THEY RE-SOLDER THE CABLE AND IT WENT AWAY FOR A DAY, THE SYMPTOMS RESUMED. I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY TWICE, FIXES SYSTEMS FOR A DAY, THEN GOES BACK TO FLICKERING AND SHUTTING OFF. I RECENTLY TOOK TO A AUTO ELECTRICS SPEC. AT $70.00 PER HOUR, THEY FOUND IT LIKELY BE THE BATTERY OR BCM. THEY REPLACED BATTERY, NOTHING CHANGED. AUTO ELECTRICS SPEC. SAID HE WANTED TO CHANGE BCM, BUT SAID HE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE RESEARCH ONLINE. IF YOU LOOK UP 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY DASH BOARD FLICKERING ON YOUTUBE OR ANY GENERAL SEARCH. LOTS OF OTHERS ARE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. PROBLEM IS, NO ONE HAS A FIX. MANY HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON BATTERIES, COMPUTERS, ALTERNATORS, AND OTHER ATTEMPTS AT FIXING BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE $90. PER HOUR, TO LOOK IT OVER. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO GUESSING.

FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME ON WHILE AT IDLE OR DRIVING RATES. NO OTHER PROBLEMS OCCURRED AND IT WASN'T HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. BY THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING WITH THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS, AND WITHIN A YEAR AN A HALF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN AND THE FRONT DOME LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. REPLACED AN AIR CONDITIONER PART ALSO. SPENT $500 ON THE FRONT END AS WELL THAT YEAR. WHEN WINDOW FAILURE WAS MORE FREQUENT I STARTED RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN COMMON IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VAN. ON OCT 4TH 2011, THE VAN FAILED TO START, MAKING A TICKING SOUND, FIGURED BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR. WE CLEANED BATTERY CABLES, TRIED WHAT WE COULD TO GET IT STARTED. THE RADIO AND DASHLIGHTS CAME ON,ALL THE GAUGES WOULD JUMP ERRATICALLY; WHEN WE ROLLED UP THE PASSENGER WINDOWS RADIO REMAINED ON, HOWEVER WHEN WE ROLLED UP THE DRIVERS WINDOW THE RADIO AND ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING. WE ENDED UP JUMPING IT AND WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND TRIED A BRAND NEW BATTERY TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. WHEN WE PUT THE BATTERY IN AND STARTED IT, FLAMES SHOT UP FROM THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE VAN, JUST INFRONT OF THE ENGINE. THE PANIC ALARM, THE HORN, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHERE ALL GOING OFF.

THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE TURNED BACK ON IMMEDIATELY. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK IF MANUALLY HELD ON BY PULLING THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAIL RANDOMLY. ALSO THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAIL RANDOMLY. ALSO ELEC WINDOWS FAIL RANDOMLY. DEALER ALWAYS REPORTS, UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO VEHICLE HAS ONE TIME TOTALLY SHUT DOWN ELECTRICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. ALL ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WENT OUT AND VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. IT RESTARTED AFTER TURNING OFF THE KEY AND RE STARTING. HEADLIGHT PROBLEM IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AS THEY JUST SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK ON. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME PROBLEM BUT A CONSTANT RE-CURRING MALFUNCTION.

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT CRASH SENSOR THAT DOESN'T START UNTIL JUNE, BUT MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ALREADY ILLUMINATED. IT STARTED LIGHTING UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD GET THE SENSOR FIXED RIGHT NOW, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $130 FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHEN THEY SHOULD ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL. MY CONCERN IS THIS: IF (GOD FORBID) I HAPPEN TO BE IN A CRASH BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE, WHAT HAPPENS IF MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY? CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT MY SENSOR IS OUT AND IS DOING NOTHING. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR ENSURING THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, BEFORE THE "OFFICIAL" RECALL BEGINS? I TRULY THINK THIS IS A SHAM THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT IS TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME IN COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION AND FIXING OUR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.

THERE HAS BEEN A NOISE AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THEN I NOTICED THE VAN WAS LEAKING SOMETHING.

THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY ARE REPLACING SO MANY OF THEM THAT THE PART WAS BACKORDERED AND THEY WERE UNSURE WHEN THEY WOULD GET ONE. THAT WAS IN NOV. 2007. IT IS NOW APRIL 2008 AND I AM STILL WAITING. IN FEB OF 2008 I WAS TOLD THEY HAD ONE FOR ME AND I TOOK MY VAN IN AND THEN WAS TOLD THAT IT NEVER ARRIVED AND THAT THEY TOLD THEIR PARTS DEALER THAT THEY NEEDED IT IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING ONTO OTHER PARTS AND CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS.

FIRST I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I GO AND BUY A BATTERY, THAT DIDN'T WORK. SINCE THEN THEY HAVE CHANGE THE PCM AND THE ALTERNATOR.

THE 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY WAS PARKED INSIDE THE GARAGE AT MY RESIDENCE WHEN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ,PROBABLY THE HEATED SEATS. WE WERE IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE/GARAGE WHEN THE HORN BEGAN TO SOUND AND THE VAN'S PANIC ALARM WENT OFF. WE COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EAVES OF THE GARAGE ROOF. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE "MAN DOOR" OF THE GARAGE (THE ELECTRONIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER WOULD NOT FUNCTION) AND OBSERVED HEAVY GRAYISH SMOKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WITH THE HELP OF A NEIGHBOR AND OUR 13 YEAR OLD SON HE SPRAYED THE VEHICLE WITH WATER FROM 2 GARDEN HOSES. THE WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE SHATTERED AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VAN WAS GLOWING ORANGE. 911 WAS CALLED AND THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED. ONCE THE AREA WAS SECURED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ASSESSED THE DAMAGE (WHICH WAS CONTAINED TO THE VEHICLE). THEY WERE OF THE OPINION THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEATING ELEMENT. THE ONLY THING LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS THE METAL FRAME; THE STEERING COLUMN WAS GONE AND WIRING HARNESSES WERE HANGING DOWN INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE VAN IS A TOTAL LOSS. OUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND CHRYLER TOWN & COUNTRY HE HAD SEEN IN THIS CONDITION. PROPERTY DAMAGE (OTHER THAN THE VEHICLE) WAS LIMITED TO THE GARAGE INTERIOR THANKS TO MY HUSBAND'S AND NEIGHBOR'S QUICK RESPONSE. WE DID NOT LOSE OUR GARAGE OR HOME...OTHERS MAY NOT BE THAT LUCKY!

I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY IN 2005. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN IN TO HAVE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT THE VAN FIXED ON AVERAGE, 1-2 PER MONTH. THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS BREAKING DOWN PIECE BY PIECE. STARTING WITH THE ELECTRIC LOCKS (WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH AND THEY WERE FIXED TWICE), THE AC (A RECALL), THE ENTIRE HEAT ASSEMBLY IN THE REAR (I WAS IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ONE), THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HARNESS, THE OIL SENSOR, AND NOW THE DRIVERS' SIDE AIRBAG IS NEEDING TO BE REPAIRED. ALL OF THESE ISSUES WERE ELECTRIC. I HAVE BEEN IN UNDER THEIR WARRANTY TO HAVE ALL OF THESE ISSUES FIXED, BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE ELECTRIC ISSUES. MY FEAR IS THAT, CONSIDERING THAT THE VEHICLE HAS EXTENSIVE ELECTRIC CONTROLS, THAT SOMETHING MAJOR IS ABOUT TO BREAK. WITH ONLY A THIRTY SIX THOUSAND MILE WARRANTY, WHICH IS ABOUT UP, AND STILL PROBLEMS, THEY (THE CHRYSLER CORP.) SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME.
