“Left front drive axle shaft broke while driving slowly in destin florida while we were on vacation. If this had happened while I was driving 70 MPH on the interstate I can imagine several tragic consequences. This van is gently driven, well-maintained, and gave no warning of failure before-hand.”
NHTSA complaint #10331566, filed 2010-05, 52,686 miles“I've been experiencing issues with my A/C unit however, whether this issue has anything to do with what happened tonight or not, I don't know. I had gone to turn my 2006 Chrysler town and country off while it was in park & it just started to roll backwards! I quickly reached for the gear shift to make sure it was in park but it already was! I then went to step on the brake & it still wouldn't stop! I have to believe this was nothing less than a major malfunction of some sort! …”
NHTSA complaint #10347388, filed 2010-08, 50,085 miles“Our 2006 Chrysler town & country minivan had experienced a broken axle at just 16,000 miles. Quite a short distance for something like that to happen.”
NHTSA complaint #10205792, filed 2007-10, 16,000 miles“While driving a new 2006 town and country, the vehicle would not shift out of 2nd gear. Initially, pulling over, shutting the car off, and restarting the car would resolve the issue. However, after this shut-off procedure the car would downshift very rough (with an audible banging noise). Vehicle was brought to the dealership where it was purchased within 24 hours of the first symptom. The check engine light did illuminate. Dealership has had the car for 4 days at this point without even having diagnosed the problem. We are driving a rental vehicle as a substitute.”
