2003 Chrysler Town And Country Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“On 2003 Chrysler Town And Country lxi I had to replace the blower motor relay last year. Now the mode door actuator seems to have failed! I can not change the air blowing through the dash vents to defrost. This is the second time this Chrysler model has had defroster problems! Two separate parts failed, one this year and one (blower motor) last year. This seems to be a common problem with Chrysler vans and no recall? For not having defrosters?”

“We are the original owner of a 2003 Chrysler t & c. In august, 2009, my wife began experiencing problems with the window motor suddenly becoming inoperable for a short period of time, then suddenly working again. One day, as I was driving the van, the check engine light came on. I immediately parked the vehicle. After a few days, the car restarted and the check engine light went off. However, on august 20, the check engine light came on while I was leaving a conference. After less than mile, then van began shuddering, the lights began blinking then the vehicle died. …”

“Rear hatch would lock - but not be secured. Several times, during acceleration, rear hatch would open - exposing occupants to outside - as well as forcing driver to stop vehicle in high speed areas (especially freeway on-ramps). Two previous notifications to the dealership were of no help. Finally fixed end december 2004. Driver's power window failed completely. Two trips to dealership (for what was intermittent at time) gave me a silicone grease that I am still wiping off the window every time that I use. Finally fixed december 2004. …”

“The drivers side and passenger side windows in my 2003 Chrysler Town And Country have fallen into the door multiple times without warning or during use. The first time was the driver's side as I was leaving work and it was 15 degrees out. The window fell into the door. The second time was the passenger window and it fell out while no one was in the vehicle and it was parked in a very urban downtown area. As I was leaving work I approached my vehicle and noticed the window was gone. I opened the van and could tell it had fallen into the door while I was working that day. …”

“My 2003 Town And Country limited minivan recently had a window blow out on the passenger sliding door. The incident happened while driving down the highway and resembled a tear about a third of the way up the window. It did not resemble an external damage sight and seemed to look as if the window ripped open for some reason. The initial 'tear' was about a foot long and expanded through out the entire window from there. I was quickly referred to my insurance carrier by the dealership. I was on my way there and was less then a mile from them when this occurred.”
