NHTSA complaint #10199612, filed 2007-08, 33,150 miles“In march/apr 2007 we noticed a white stain that has appeared on the floor by the navigator seat. We assumed we spilled something and we cleaned it up with a household carpet cleaner. A few weeks later the stain has appeared again. We removed the floor mat in the area to find out that the stain extended now significantly. We cleaned it out again and monitored it. Upon closer monitoring, we observed that the area kept getting wet when the AC unit was on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10196484, filed 2007-07, 35,900 miles“We own a 2005 Chrysler town & country touring van. At approximately 16000 we had a problem with the rack & pinion and ball joints. It was taken to a dealer that was suppose to have fixed the problem -- we have had problems with items in that area since then. We have enjoyed our vehicle except for this problem -- the latest incident is the tie rod end needs to be replaced and we were told that it would not be covered under the warranty. The vehicle has approximately 51,000 miles on it at this time.”
