Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I went to a mechanic to find out why the engine light was on. He told me it was the EGR valve (exhaust system emission control gas recirculation valve) that had to be replaced. The engine light has been on ever since. I cannot take it to be fixed because I do not have the money to replace it, but have to have the emission test done by march 31, 2009.”
NHTSA complaint #10263572, filed 2009-03, 50,581 miles“Ac unit failed on this because of the lines going to the rear AC unit corroded through. I have read several posts and see there was a TSB sent out regarding this. Contacted the dealer and they said there is no recall. This really surprises me with so many issues on this.”
NHTSA complaint #10464514, filed 2012-07, 70,000 miles“Almost every time after we fill up the gas tank of our 2005 town & country, the engine runs rough when we exit the station and many times dies entirely. Engine restarts almost immediately and it doesn't happen any other time. Even after tune-up, throttle body cleaning and new spark plugs, condition continues.”
NHTSA complaint #10288890, filed 2009-10, 63,880 miles“My wife was driving to work when the van stalled out. She said she lost all power and almost got rear ended. I read where the 2008 and 2009 were recalled for the same thing. I took the van to a mechanic they could not get any codes. I fear for my family's safety. The mechanic said it was most likely the check valve that is built into the gas tank but not for sure. I read were two people died in the 08 and 09 and I don't wont this to happen to our family. Thank you”
NHTSA complaint #10401602, filed 2011-05, 61,000 miles“I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Town And Country in april of 2005 with only 265 miles on it. The engine shut off in may of 2005 and continues to do so even though the dealer has replaced the PCM. The dealer is saying they are unable to repair the car because they can not duplicate the problem or get code readings from their computers. My vehicle's passenger air bag light keeps coming on also.”
