VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY ON 5/22/13. VERY LOUD BANG WAS HEARD APPROX 7PM BUT THE SOURCE OF THE BANG COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED OR EVEN CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS VEHICLE-RELATED. NO ABNORMAL PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF VEHICLE WAS DETECTED AT THAT TIME. NEXT MORNING, 5/23/13, DROVE VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED A RUBBING VIBRATION IN FRONT END, THEN SMELLED RUBBER BURNING. TURNED VEHICLE AROUND AND DROVE IT BACK TO DRIVEWAY AND PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR A TOTAL DISTANCE DRIVEN OF ABOUT 1000 FEET. AS VEHICLE WAS PARKED, CLOUDS OF BILLOWING WHITE SMOKE FROM RIGHT FRONT WHEELWELL APPEARED. INSPECTED OUTSIDE OF TIRE. NO APPARENT PROBLEM. OPENED HOOD. NO APPARENT REASON FOR WHITE SMOKE. THEN BOOM, AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND TIRE RESTED ON WHEEL RIM. CALLED TOW TRUCK AND WHEN VEHICLE WAS LIFTED ON THE TOW MECHANISM, THE PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT. THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND UNCOILED ITSELF. THE SPRING HAD UNCOILED ITSELF INTO THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RUBBING VIBRATION, BURNING RUBBER SMELL AND SMOKE, AND THE BLOWOUT. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE EASILY HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SUDDEN BLOWOUT AND LIKELY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE LAST 25 MILES DRIVEN PRIOR TO THE COIL SPRING FAILURE WERE FREEWAY MILES, AND THE FAILURE COULD HAVE HAPPENED AN HOUR EARLIER ON 5/22/13 AT 60 TO 70 MPH WITH THE LIKELY OUTCOME THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE AND RUN OFF THE ROAD AND ROLLED OVER. DEALER SAID THAT IN HIS 30 YEARS, HE HAS NOT HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. FAILED PARTS HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY OWNER. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED.

SUMMARY: POTENTIAL FAILURE OF EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE ON 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVANS DUE TO INCORRECT ROUTING OF CABLE ALONGSIDE REAR SUSPENSION LINK. DETAIL: I WAS DOING SOME MAINTENANCE ON OUR '05 T&C TOURING THE OTHER DAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE IS RUBBING ON ONE OF THE VERTICAL REAR SUSPENSION LINKS. IT HAS WORN THROUGH THE OUTER SHEATH OF THE CABLE, AND THE CABLE ITSELF HAS BEEN EXPOSED. THAT CABLE IS VERY, VERY STIFF, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ROUTED THAT WAY AT THE FACTORY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WOULD RE-ROUTE IT TO GET IT AWAY FROM THAT SUSPENSION LINK. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE IN AN INQUIRY AT THE CHRYSLER MINIVAN FAN CLUB WEBSITE'S FORUMS WOULD INDICATE OTHER OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM.

UPON HEARING A NOISE WHILE DRIVING, I CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED A LUBRICATION SEAL WAS NO LONGER PERFORMING ITS FUNCTION. MY LOCAL MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CONTROL ARM AND RELATED BALL JOINTS AND INFORMED ME THE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS GOOD AT THIS TIME, BUT THE STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING AND WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT SOON. SINCE I ONLY HAD ABOUT 64,000 MILES ON MY 2005 TOWN & COUNTRY, I WAS SURPRISED ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD NOT HAD THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IN THE 40 PLUS YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP, EXCEEDING 100,000 MILES ON EACH CAR. RICH IN CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE INFORMED ME THE TOWN & COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE AN HISTORICAL PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING RACK & PINION; THUS A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NOT NECESSARY. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED TO SHOW THE STANCE CHRYSLER IS TAKING IS FALSE IS A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH AND A SEARCH ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL TOWN & COUNTRY+S FOR THE PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING. THEY SHOULD NOT BE WAITING FOR THE +TOYOTA RUG UNDER THE ACCELERATOR+ ISSUES.

WE USE OUR 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY FOR 2.5 YEARS. WE PURCHASED THE VAN USED WITH ROUGHLY 25000 MILES ON IT IN JULY OF 2006. WE NOW HAVE 77000 MILES ON IT AND NOW THE FRONT END MAKES A CLANKING NOISE WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS AND THE IS A WHINING GRINDING LIKE SOUND UNDERNEATH THE HOOD CLOSE TO THE DASH. IT IS WORSE WITH COLD WEATHER AND WHEN THE STIRRING WHEEL IS TURNED COMPLETELY IN EITHER DIRECTION. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND A BLOG FORUM AT TOWNHALL-TALK.COM. EVERYONE ONE ON THIS PARTICULAR BLOG HAD T&C VANS AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND DEALERS HAVE SAID THE RACK AND PINION NEEDING REPLACEMENT FOR ROUGHLY$850.00 PLUS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM ASSESSED (WILL BE TODAY). OUR WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND NOW WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. SOUNDS TYPICAL RIGHT? IF CHRYSLER T&C VANS ALL SEEMED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STIRRING SYSTEM. I READ ABOUT MANY DIFFERENT DEALER SAYING THAT THEY REPLACE MANY OF THOSE RACKS AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. IF THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER THAT SHOULD BE A SIGN THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE ACROSS THE BOARD AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. IN THESE TRYING ECONOMIC TIMES PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEND ON CRAPPY MADE PARTS AND CHRYSLER CANT AFFORD ANYMORE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY EITHER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

IN NOVEMBER 2006, I BEGAN HEARING A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE TIE ROD END WAS BROKEN. THIS FAILURE WAS AT 32,463 MILES AND COST ME $170. IN MARCH 2007, I HEARD THE SAME CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKS, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, AND STABILIZER CONTROL LINKS WERE BROKEN. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 38,347 MILES AND COST ME $350. I HEARD THE SAME CLUNKING NOISE AGAIN IN MARCH 2008. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SWAY BAR BUSHINGS WERE BROKEN AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 55,214 MILES. I HEARD THE SAME CLUNKING NOISE AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2008. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKS AND STABILIZER BAR CONTROL LINKS WERE BROKEN AGAIN. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 67,579 MILES AND COST ME $200. AFTER THIS REPAIR WAS MADE, I CONTINUED TO HEAR THE NOISE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SWAY BAR BUSHINGS ARE BROKEN AGAIN. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005 TOWN & COUNTRY VEHICLES, AND HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER DOES NOT RECALL THESE PARTS. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM THAT IS COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT, AND MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT I CAN EXPECT THESE FRONT END PROBLEMS TO CONTINUE. HE ALSO SAYS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THESE FAILURES CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT OUR SAFETY.

PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP UNLIMITED MAY 2005. AUGUST 2006 NOTICED A STEERING VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 53-55 MPH. DEALER SAID THEY TIGHTENED THE STABILIZER ARM AND THAT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM WAS DUE TO TIRE CUPPING. THEY IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO RHETORIC ABOUT PROPER TIRE ROTATION AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC THAT SAID THE RACK AND PINION JOINT WAS LEAKING AND THE TIRE PROBLEM WAS DO TO POOR ALIGNMENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND RELAYED THE NEW INFORMATION. SHE SAID THAT CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS FRONT END ALIGNMENT EVERY 12000 MILES. THE JEEP HAS 15000 MILE CURRENTLY. THE JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS ONLY BEEN USED TO AS FROM WORK.

Jun 08, 2006 - Midlothian, VA - Front, Control Arm, Lower Arm
1.) EVENTS: NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING SHARPLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, AND A DIFFERENT BUT LOCALLY THE SAME NOISE, WHEN BRAKING HARD. 2.) FAILURE: HASN'T FAILED YET BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED AT A COST OF $800.00. VEHICLE HAS LESS THEN 50,000 MILES. 3.)REPLACE BOTH UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS,(THEY ARE ONE PART SO REGARDLESS OF WHICH FAILS, BOTH HAVE TO BE REPLACED DOUBLING THE COST TO ME). PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. AFTER REVIEWING MANY ENTRIES ON LINE FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT IS ENDEMIC TO THE MODEL. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ASSIST WITH THE SERVICE, STATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO MY REPAIR TECH, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LEFT UN-ATTENDED AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ANY SPEED.
