2006 Chrysler Town And Country Body and structure Problems

“The whole lower body is rusted with deep holes and I had to repair several times. This vehicle will not pass the next ma state inspection. The rust started appearing three to four years ago. I have replaced the front hood due to large holes. Under the body floor panels holes have appeared. I see all kinds of same model years when I drive hundreds of ones over the years and I see rust all all of them. Some severe some minor but I always see rust. The included pictures are a very small snapshot.”

“The spare tire carriers do not release the tire. This can be dangerous on the highway when trying to change a tire. The cable releases but the tire stays up. You have to lay on the ground get your legs under the car while it is jacked up and with try to kick the tire loose. Very dangerous! We have a fleet of dodge / Chrysler mini vans most have experienced the issue. When we were notified of the toyota campaign I immediately thought why Chrysler has not done anything about this potentially dangerous situation.”

“My son hit a 2000 pound cow at 40 MPH. It was standing in the road after a curve. He never had time to hit the break but stopped instantly. It hit head on and then flew up into the windshield. The front end caved in and the radiator was bent into the engine. The van is a total loss. The airbag never deployed. We checked on line and other years around our van had a recall but not ours. I reported it to Chrysler but they said airbags don't go off when you 'drive through an animal'. I've known people who have hit deer with less damage and their airbags did go off.”

“After stopping in my garage, I used the remote to unlock and open the rear driver side power sliding door. The door began to open, and I reached in to pick up my bag. The door caught suddenly and started to close quickly. I reached up with my right arm to stop the door from closing on me, which it did. I then tried to back out of the car in case the door suddenly closed again. The door caught again, this time slamming into my right cheek and causing a concussion. 10 days later, and I am still recovering. …”

“The automatic sliding doors the sensors do not do their job!! We questioned this with the salesman upon purchase and we were reassured they work fine then we asked about it after purchase while in for other repairs still reassured they work fine cause if it doesn't do it while it is here then there isn't anything wrong with it . (that is what the tech's always say when they don't have an answer) we had the worst run in with the electronic doors this morning 6/19/2008! Drivers side. …”
