“My 2001 Chrysler town & country suffered a complete transmission failure. I bought this vehicle new in 2001 and thought I was buying the best mini-van for the money. However, I've had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Power windows have failed, power sliding door has failed 3 times, power lift gate failed, air bags caused a check engine light to come on ( replaced under warranty). All of these were minor in comparison to the transmission, which cost me $3078 to have rebuilt. …”
NHTSA complaint #10259761, filed 2009-02, 81,000 miles“We had been having problems with our 2001 Chrysler Town And Country. The sliding door kept opening while we were driving down the road and the door would open. Then while we were on vacation I was driving down the highway and the door caught on fire. Within 2 minutes the whole car was in flames if my three children had been in the car I am not sure if I would of been able to get them all out. The fire department got there in good time but it was to late. The whole van and everything in it was totally destroyed.”
NHTSA complaint #10080381, filed 2004-07, 68,000 miles“The driver's side rear automatic sliding door ceased working during cold weather conditions at random times over a couple of years & then suddenly the automatic function of the door would not work at all when the button is pressed from the inside. Even worse is that the door will not open when using the manual handle with the lever. This is extremely dangerous, as small children could be trapped. Earlier when I took it to a dealership, they stated that a new track harness & something else was needed at a cost over $500. We cannot afford this. Doors should work manually without $500 parts. …”
NHTSA complaint #10221390, filed 2008-03, 85,000 miles“The rear hatch does not work when using the switch on the remote or in the vehicle. It just beeps and tries to open, but the door does not release. You have to manually open the door. This problem started in 2006, 5 yrs. After the vehicle was made.”
NHTSA complaint #10325234, filed 2010-04, 62,000 miles“Air bag sensor light blinks on and off. A recall was issued on the clock spring, however this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. The vehicle had numerous problems such as steering problems, sliding problems, brake and acceleration problems, a strong odor of gas and thefront sway bars and rear shocks were replaced”
