“Hi, I was other complaints regarding the 2005 Chrysler town & country mini van. The problem I am having is rust though on both sides of the fender wells in front of the rear tires. I have noticed this on many other minivans on the road and believe it to be a flaw in the manufacture. Pieces of the van fell off , this could be a safety hazard as these vans age.. Are there any other complaints issued?”
NHTSA complaint #10862578, filed 2016-05, 74,000 miles“When attempting to change a tire on my 2005 Chrysler town & country I dropped the tire from under the body of the car as designed. Reaching under the vehicle from the passenger side I put my hand over the top of the tire and pulled it toward me. My hand became wedged between the tire and the exhaust pipe resulting in second degree burns to the top of my hand.”
NHTSA complaint #10291660, filed 2009-11, 36,000 miles“Power locks on the back sliding doors do not work. This is a big safety concern. I have to pull the lock up very hard from one side as I pull on the handle on the other side. This is happening on both doors of the vehicle. If their was an accident or fire it would be very hard to get my child out of the back seat. I am asking for a recall. I was looking this problem up online and their are pages of complaints and forums of people with the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10579450, filed 2014-04, 134,000 miles“When the weather is 55 degrees or colder my back door on my minivan will not stay up and open. After it goes up it comes back down immediately. This van has a handicapped lift for a mobility scooter in it for inside the van. It is necessary for the back door to stay up and open to use the controls to bring the lift in and out of the minivan. The back door stays up and open in warmer weather but it immediately comes back down and closes in cooler weather. I purchased the minivan with the lift and scooter from a private owner 2 1/2 years ago. …”
NHTSA complaint #11099878, filed 2018-06, 130,000 miles“I was driving at 35mph, then I slowed down to 20mph to cross over a set of railroad tracks. As I was crossing the tracks, the drivers side sliding door opened, then closed. (the doors are remote control doors.) this was the very first time that this has ever happened. I was talking to a few people about this situation, to come to find out, that this is not uncommon. I would like to know why Chrysler hasn't done anything about this problem. They need to step up to the plate and fix the problem.”
