2008 Braun Town & Country

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT. MOST HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE SLIDING DOORS NOT COMPLETELY SHUTTING AND REOPENING AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE WAY. THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE DOOR SENSORS. THE MOST RECENT ISSUES HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE KEY IN THE IGNITION ALARM STARTED BEEPING (WHILE DRIVING WITH THE KEY IN), THE RADIO WENT TO 12:00 THEN RESET IT BACK TO THE CORRECT TIME. THIS LASTED ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THEN IT WAS ALL DONE AND WORKING FINE. 3 TIMES THAT WE HAD STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE CAR JUST STALLED. BUT IT WAS ABLE TO RESTART RIGHT AWAY. ONE TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP AT ALL FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN IT STARTED ON THE FIFTH TRY. JUST YESTERDAY, WE HAD TO HAVE THE VAN TOWED, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, SHE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED BUT IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. THE DOORS DID NOT UNLOCK, THANKFULLY HERS WAS STILL UNLOCKED. THE HAZARDS WOULD NOT WORK, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. WE HAD IT TOWED THE DEALER, WHERE IT DID EVENTUALLY START. THE DEALER REPLACED A MODULE FOR THE ELECTRONIC KEY 1 WEEK AGO, BUT THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED STILL. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY: FAULTY VALVE STEMS. THREE OF THE FOUR VALVE STEMS HAVE BROKEN IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. THEY WERE THE ORIGINALS. I'M EXPECTING THE FOURTH TO GO ANYTIME NOW. THEY ALL BROKE WHEN I WAS UNSCREWING THE CAP TO CHECK PRESSURE OR ADD AIR. AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TWIST, THE WHOLE THING JUST CAME OFF IN MY FINGERS, WITH THE TOP OF THE STEM STILL EMBEDDED IN THE PLASTIC CAP. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TPMS BECAUSE IT'S ALL ONE PART. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE HORN WENT OFF CONTINOUSLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FRONT AND BACK WERE SPRAYING FLUID AND GOING BACK AND FORTH. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS BLINK ON AND OFF. I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS GOING OFF AND ON. I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN, 3 YRS OLD AND 15 MONTHS GOING DOWN A MAJOR INTERSTATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER IN THE HIGHWAY AND REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE HORN BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I DID THE HORN WOULD NOT TURN OFF. VERY SCARY LUCKY I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. *TR

COST WAS $656 TO REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS! THE DEALER KEPT AND DISPOSED OF THE PART ARE WE ARE UNABLE TO GET IT TO ACCESS THE SERIAL NUMBER(WE TRIED) I WAS MORE WORRIED THAT THE BEARINGS WOULD BREAK WHILE DRIVING AND RESULT IN THE VAN LOOSING CONTROL WITH FAMILY INSIDE AND GOING IN THE DITCH.
