I HAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. I HAVE HAD IT FOR 7 MONTHS. FROM THE TIME I BROUGHT IT HOME WE HEARD A KNOCKING/RATTLING NOISE IN THE FRONT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WHINING. WE TOOK IT BACK WHERE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP,BOTH BUSHINGS AND THE RACK AND PINION. THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE AFTER, AND THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT IT WAS A 500 MILE BREAK-IN PERIOD. THEN APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 6 MONTHS LATER MY HEAT GOES OUT AND STILL THE PREVIOUS PROBLEMS FROM BEFORE ARE THERE. WE TOOK IT BACK WHERE THEY REPLACED STEERING PUMP AND BALL JOINTS. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PUT 2 NEW LINES ON FOR THE HEAT WHEN INSTEAD THEY PUT 2 ONE FOOT PIECES OF BLACK RUBBER HOSE ON AND CLAPPED IT ON BOTH ENDS COVERING THE LEAK. ON TOP OF THAT THEY PUT THE WRONG ANTIFREEZE IN. I HAVE HEAT WHENEVER IT WANTS TO WORK. NOW THE DASH LIGHT WORKS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO WORK AND I STILL HAVE A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ALONG WITH THE WHINING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WE TOOK IT BACK WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THEY SAW THAT SOME KIND OF BALL BEARING HAD A LITTLE BIT OF PLAY IN IT BUT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE IT, THEN BECAUSE WE CALLED THE VAN A LEMON WE WERE TOLD TO GET OUT AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 WHO ARE WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME. I FEEL THAT THIS VAN IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. *TR

HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE RADIO CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V531000 (EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.); THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS.

I HAVE THIS SAME CLOCKSPRING FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE AIRBAG NOT TO FUNCTION. I HAVE TRIED TO TALK TO CHRYSLER TO NO AVAIL. IT JUST SEEMS THAT THEY HAD SOME BAD PARTS DURING THAT TIME AND POSSIBLY THOSE PARTS WERE ALSO PUT ON SOME OF THE 2001 VANS MANUFACTURED IN 8/2000. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS CLOCKSPRING FAILURE IS A COMMON EVENT. IT SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN, I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WERE AT 4000 AND THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING. MY HUSBAND PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND IT SAID IT WAS THE TCM FAILURE THIS IS A DEALER ONLY PART AT 336.00 WITH A 125.00 CORE CHARGE AND THEN IT HAS TO BE PROGRAMMED BY THE DEALER. AT A COST OF 45.00 IF YOU GET THE PART AND INSTALL YOURSELF . IF THE DEALER DOES IT, IT RUNS BETWEEN 700 AND 800 DOLLARS. WE FOUND A PARTS PLACE THAT SEND THEM OUT TO BE REBUILT FOR 255.00 PLUS SHIPPING AND HANDLING . WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR INFO ON THIS PART THERE WAS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS COMPONENT IS LOCATED IN THE DRIVERSIDE WHEEL WELL AND WHEN MY HUSBAND REMOVED IT, IT WAS VERY CORRODED WITH RUST. *TR
