1998 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE WOULD NOT START *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR THREE WEEKS AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

I OWN A 1998 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND BUYING IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I HAVE EVER MADE. MY PROBLEM IS A REPEAT OF A THOUSAND OTHER PEOPLES. I'LL GO TO START MY VAN AND IT WILL ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO START, BUT THEN DIES. AT FIRST IT WOULD START AFTER BEING UNTOUCHED FOR A FEW HOURS, BUT NOW IT CAN TAKE UP TO 2 WEEKS. WE HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES AND TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, INCLUDING 1 CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND EVERYTIME WE ARE TOLD THE SAME THING. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISARM THE ALARM BECAUSE IT IS BUILT INTO THE ENGINE. I HAVE A FAMILY THAT DESERVES A RELIABLE CAR AND THIS IS NOT IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TOWING IT BACK AND FORTH FROM SHOP TO SHOP. I NEED ANSWERS!..WHY WAS THIS ISSUE NOT RECALLED BY CHRYSLER, WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND FRUSTRATING. SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 1998 TOWN & COUNTRY AND HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE ALL THE DIALS ON THE DASH WOULD FLATLINE AND THEN COME BACK UP. THEN IT STARTED CRANKING THEN DYING OUT IMMEDIATELY. IT WOULD CRANK 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THEN NOT CRANK AT ALL. IF THE BATTERY CABLES WERE REMOVED AND THEN REPLACED IT WOULD THEN START, BUT THAT NO LONGER WORKS AND IT DOES NOT RUN AT ALL. *TR

I BOUGHT A 1998 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND AFTER 2 WEEKS THE VAN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR WOULDN'T START IN THE GAS STATION ON THE FIRST TRY BUT DID START ON THE SECOND. FROM THAT INCIDENT ON THE CAR WOULD NEED SEVERAL STARTS TO GET IT RUNNING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO DEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEN SUDDENLY JUMP BACK ON AND DIE AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE IT STOPPED STARTING AT ALL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS AND NOT ONLY WASTED MONEY BUYING THE VAN BUT ALSO, TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE GUY REPLACED THE FUSE PANEL FOR $200 AND WANTED TO PUT IN A NEW COMPUTER BUT I TOLD HIM NOT TO. THIS VAN IS A DISGRACE AND AN INCONVENIENCE. *TR

THE VAN STARTS BUT WILL NOT TAKE ANY GAS AND DIE IMMEDIATELY. IT WILL START ABOUT 4-5 TIMES THEN NOT START AT ALL. LIKE OTHERS WHO HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT, THE GAUGES ACT FUNNY THEN FLATLINE. IT USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE IT WILL START AGAIN. I HAVE HAD A COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO IT BUT IT DOESN'T READ ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT DEPENDABLE AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED RELAYS AND GAVE IT A FULL TUNE UP. *TR
