“I have a 2001 Chrysler voyager and the headlights flicker periodically while driving. This have been going on for several years now. I took the van to the repair shop several time but the problem has never been resolved. It can be dangerous when the lights go out while driving at night.”

“The turn signal indicator in my 2001 Chrysler town and county started to fail. When I indicate that I wish to turn right the left turn signal comes on outside the vehicle. I consider that the component failing in this manner where the opposite turn signal comes on to be a serious safety issue. I spoke to the manufacturer (daimler Chrysler) about this issue and they said that the component was out of warranty.”

“My 2001 Chrysler Town And Country has had problems with the headlights flickering and going out for short periods of time. The happens almost every time I use my headlights at night. I put 999 as the number of incidents as a default. I do not know how many times I have driven during this problem. I have taken it to two Chrysler dealerships and they cannot fix the problem. I am very concerned that someone in my family may die as a result of this technical failure.”

“All of the brake lights, including the high center one, suddenly failed without any indication to the operator. The vehicle was driven for an unknown number of days in this condition until a near-accident revealed the defect. The vehicle was used to transport my wife and 9 year old son to and from school and on various errands around town. My wife and son were almost struck from the rear by another vehicle whose driver did not realize that they were braking for a traffic light. The next day, the vehicle was returned to the dealer for repair. …”

“Driver's side sliding door will not work in cold weather. It is usually warm in southern la, but in the early mornings while taking my children to preschool, I could not get my son's sliding door to open. It always worked when I took it to the dealer, but several school employees and others have seen that the door does not work either with the electronic key, button on the door itself, or with the overhead button located above the dashboard. Oddly, also only when the weather is cooler, my high beam on my driver's side headlight will not work. …”
