We were told this was a default with t&cs. We again need new rotors. The awful grinding noise when braking is horrific. …”

“Power steering malfunctions on my Chrysler 2006 Town And Country. The gear for the rack and pinion steering and the crankcase vent valve were replaced in march 2008. It is now happening again. Chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix them correctly.”

“Second time the engine has just shut off while driving. First time 3 months ago, called the dealership where vehicle was leased from they never called back. Happened again (10/25/2007)on the highway, van engine stopped coasted to service drive and then restarted.”
