2007 Chrysler Town And Country

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ONE AND OFF WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND THE BODY CONTROL MODULE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE MOVING IN REVERSE AROUND THREE TO FIVE MILES PER HOUR, THE FOUR-WAY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ACTIVATED AND THE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENED APPROXIMATELY ONE TO THREE INCHES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND WHILE SHIFTING TO DRIVE THE POWER SLIDING DOOR COMPLETED THE OPENING CYCLE. THE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR WAS THEN UNRESPONSIVE AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY CLOSED. ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT THE PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR BEGAN SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN OPENING, THE DOOR WOULD STOP JUST A FEW INCHES FROM THE LATCH. WHEN CLOSING, THE DOOR WOULD STOP JUST A FEW INCHES FROM THE LATCH. *JS

AFTER FILLING THE MINIVAN WITH GAS (ESPECIALLY IF FULL), ONCE DRIVING OFF GAS STATION LOT--CAR STALLS. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. USUALLY SHAKES RIGHT BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BRAKES TOO. THE MORE YOU BRAKE RIGHT AFTER TURNING CAR BACK ON AFTER FILL UP, THE MORE LIKELY IT WILL STALL. VERY DANGEROUS IF MAKING A TURN, ON HIGHWAY OR IF CARS ARE BEHIND IT. ALSO DIED ONCE WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING CAR BECAUSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE GONE TOO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND IS A HUGE PROBLEM. OUR CHRYSTLER/DODGE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS ONLINE. THIS IS A 2007 MOST OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE WITH 2005. *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR, ALL FOUR VALVE STEMS HAVE BROKEN OFF EACH TIRES PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR RESULTING IN AN UNEXPECTED FLAT TIRE. THE FIRST WAS WHILE ROUTINE AIRING OF THE TIRE, THE SECOND WAS IN A CAR WASH, AND TWO OCCURRED IN ONE DAY AS I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF THE STEM CAPS. THE EASE AT WHICH ALL FOUR BROKE IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING (SIMPLY UNSCREWING THE CAP, FOR EXAMPLE), AND SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS COMPLETE PLAUSIBLE THAT THE STEMS COULD HAVE SNAPPED OFF WHILE ON CRUISING ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC, CAUSING A FLAT TIRE AT SPEED, WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER CHECKING A CHRYSLER MINIVAN BLOG, IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE IS COMMON AMONG ALL CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE SENSOR. I HAVE CHECKED WITH CHRYSLER BUT AM NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL WITH THIS DEVICE. *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED TEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETECTED WATER PUMP LEAKAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.
