TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE NORMALLY OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A HOLE IN THE POWER STEERING HOSE. THE VIN WAS REJECTED FROM THE SYSTEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE EXAMINING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SIDE REAR DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE OR OPEN USING THE INTERIOR BUTTONS OR THE KEYLESS ENTRY. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN WITHIN 3 DAYS THAT THE BATTERY THE WOULD FAIL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. AFTER 2ND OR 3RD FUEL FILL, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. IT HAS STAYED ON. WE HAD IT CHECKED AT OUR LOCAL PEP BOYS AND WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL FILLER NECK IS BAD AND THAT CHRYSLER IS GOING THROUGH THEM AT A RATE OF 100 PER WEEK. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND THAT CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO PAY FOR A PART THAT IS OBVIOUSLY SO DEFECTIVE ON THE VEHICLE THAT THE RATE OF REPLACEMENT IS 100 PER WEEK. *TR

2001 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY PURCHASE 4.5 YRS AGO. ONE YEAR INTO PURCHASE, ABS LIGHTS ON, EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACED ABS SYSTEM. LIGHTS KEPT COMING ON, TOOK IN 2-3 TIMES, SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX, DIDN'T KNOW WHY. LATER, WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL UP/DOWN ON PASSENGER SIDE, RADIO QUIT WORKING. TOOK TO A SHOP & WAS TOLD THAT AT SOME POINT, THE BATTERY LEAKED (BEFORE I PURCHASED) AND THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS WAS EATEN BY THE ACID/ THIS WAS COVERED UP AT SOME POINT BECAUSE THE WIRES HAD BEEN WRAPPED IN ELECTRICAL TAPE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO PUT THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS UNDERNEATH THE BATTERY, IF A BATTERY GOES BAD OF COURSE IT WILL EAT THE WIRING. *TR

I OWN A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN AND RECENTLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION TO SEE WHAT WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE ON A 1,000 MILE VACATION. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT THAT THE MINIVAN HAS A RUSTED STRUT TOWER. IT IS THE TOWER LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A COMMON FAILURE FOR CHRYSLER, DODGE AND PONTIAC VANS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS AND BODY SHOPS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON THESE VEHICLES AND THE FAILURE HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. *TR

WE BOUGHT A USED 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IN MARCH. RIGHT AWAY WE STARTED HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES. TODAY I WENT OUT, AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THE VAN WAS STILL ROLLING. WE HAVE REPLACED PADS, CALIPER, AND LINES ALREADY. *TR

AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2001 TOWN AND COUNTRY I DECIDED TO REPORT MY OWN AS WELL. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO I REPLACED MY WHOLE POWER STEERING UNIT. IT BEGAN BECOMING STIFF AND IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN MOSTLY IN THE MORNING WHEN IS WAS A LITTLE COLD...THEN IT BEGAN AT ANY START UP AND SOMETIMES ONLY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FLUID AND IT WAS FINE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN REPLACED THE WHOLE POWER STEERING UNIT. IT WORKED MUCH BETTER. THEN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED WHINING I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BELT BUT NOW I AM SURE IT IS THE POWER STEERING AGAIN. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MORE WRECKS THEN WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADMIT AND I AM SHOCKED THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT RECALLING THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AT 48,000. I TOO HAVE HAD TO REPLACED RUSTY BRAKES LINES AND MY CAR REPAIR GUY TELLS ME HE HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS LINES FROM CHRYSLER AND WE EVEN HAD TO WAIT BECAUSE THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER.( THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING) MY TAIL GATE WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN EITHER. SOMETIMES IT DOES AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO FORCE IT TO. NOT TO MENTION MY PASSENGER WINDOW HASN'T OPENED FOR YEARS...DUE TO A MOTOR NEEDING REPLACED. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS DEFINITELY THE STEERING...THAT IS EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. *TR
