NHTSA complaint #10335261, filed 2010-06, 49,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10397009, filed 2011-04, 18,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10396006, filed 2011-04, 32,418 miles“In normal neighborhood driving, all dashboard warning lights lit up at the same time, the windshield wipers turned on, the speedometer and tachometer went to zero even though the engine was still running, and most disturbingly, my electric drivers side seat started moving forward and backward while I was attempting to turn and break. It almost caused an accident, but I was lucky. The system reset itself, and the same thing happened again, and again. It was too dangerous to drive. The vehicle was transported to the dealership who said it was a frayed and chaffing electrical harness. …”
