Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Instrument cluster and spedometer have failed. While driving my entire dash would turn off. No spedometer, no tachometer, no fuel, nothing. After a month or two of this happening on and off, my spedometer started getting inaccurate. It's now at about 37mph off. When I turn my car off, the spedometer goes to 0 (or below 0). When I turn my key to the right, it goes to 37mph. While I'm driving 20, it shows 57mph. If I'm driving 60mph, it shows 97mph. …”
NHTSA complaint #10786491, filed 2015-10, 95,000 miles“It had been raining but had stopped. I was making a right hand turn when my right tire went through approximately 2-4 of water in the gutter. I immediately lost control of the steering and veered into the opposite lane. Fortunately there were no cars in that lane. I had difficulty steering and the engine began to overheat. I was fortunate the garage was around the corner. The belt had slipped off the pulleys. The belt had not broken, only slipped off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10468365, filed 2012-07, 111,795 miles“No crash involved...noticed after a rainstorm here on the coast, that there was the sound of water rolling back and forth in the dash area when I was driving..not only that, but there was a significant(huge flood) of water coming into the passenger compartment from the dash area immediately in front of the passenger seat...enough water that my carpeting was completely soaked, and ruined. …”
NHTSA complaint #10218438, filed 2008-02, 90,000 miles“Our vehicle has failed to start on 3 occasions. The first time we had it towed to the Chrysler dealership. It started right up for them and they could find anything wrong. If you google 1999 Chrysler town & country you will find many complaints and few solutions. One party has spent over $3000 at the dealership and still has the problem. I am not a mechanic but my guess would be there is a loose soldering joint on one of the boards. It has to do with the alarm. The car thinks its being stolen so it cuts the engine off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10617666, filed 2014-07, 58,000 miles“I purchased this vehicle in august of 2013 and have been having ongoing problems with the alarm system. It shuts the vehicle down and won't let it start again for anywhere from days to weeks later. I have had a new computer put in and flashed by the Chrysler garage but nothing and noone seems to be able to fix this problem. It makes the vehicle totally unreliable and a safety hazard to get stranded anytime. I have been dumping money into the vehicle for over a year trying to get it fixed with no luck. This should be a recall item that is addressed at the expense of the company. …”
