2000 Chrysler Town And Country Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Water condensation from air condition leaks inside the vehicle at the driver's feet . I bought the vehicle ( Chrysler town & country minivan) in april 2000, and the leak started in 2002. The dealer attempted four times to fix it since 2002. Now the van is out of waranty, and the dealer thinks that the A/C evaporator is at fault and they want to charge me to fixt. I declined to pay because I believe that the dealer should have fixed the van before the warranty expired. The dealer still charged me $78 for telling me that in order to fix the problem they have to replace the evaporator.”

(this was the fourth time the brakes were replaced) the consumer requested a full refund of the purchase price of the vehicle. …”

Informed Chrysler regarding this matter but they refused warranty coverage, resulting in expensive repair work over $600 for transmission fluid and brake pad repair work. Also, driver's side automatic window motor stopped functioning and replacement was necessary $325. …”

“Not knowing how fast your driving can be dangerous. I've been having this problem with my van starting way back in september 2001 with 13,000 miles on it and am still having the same problem. The problem is the ABS light comes on all the time, dashboard lights flicker, the speedometer, odometer and RPM's randomly go up and down and sometimes don't work at all. They have tried to fix this problem many times, it has been in the shop sometimes for 2 weeks at a time. They have replaced the computer, harness (twice), ignition switch, fuses, etc. …”
