2009 Chrysler Town And Country Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“We where driving in florida on vacation on june 12, 2017 when our 2009 Chrysler Town And Country started to have electrical problems . The wipers wouldn't shut off until the wiper motor burned up , the drivers seat wouldn't stop moving forward and back , the windows wouldn't go down , AC went out , the entire dash board light up and all the lights stayed on , the speedometer was dead , the gas gauge was dead , the turn signals didn't work , the dvd players didn't work . We took it to a dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong with it . …”

“We just purchased this vehicle in april 2015, used with 98200 miles. After only roughly 3000 miles the vehicle started messing up. The wipers would come on for no reason and the dash would light up like a christmas tree. All the dash lights including the airbags, brakes, engine, ect. My fear is that if in a crash the airbags, brakes, and other safety equipment may not function as intended. After this happened a second time I called my local Chrysler dealer and the service manager informed me of a recall on some models but mine wasn't included. …”

“On 10/13/2014, highway driving, used turn signal to pass another vehicle, when returning to original lane and turning off turn signal, the turn signal started blinking the opposite way, thinking I had missed the neutral position tried again, started blinking the opposite way. This went on for at least 2 minutes then finally stopped. On 10/28/2014, started vehicle in driveway and all dash indicator lights came on along with windshield wipers, the radio display was blank like it was off, but there was sound (radio display has been ongoing issue since we purchased vehicle in 2012). …”

“While driving about 30mph in my neighborhood, all of a sudden, my van's horn started honking, the wind shield blades began wiping very quickly and water was spraying over the windshield. Also, the automatic locks were going up and down and the car lights and blinkers were flashing on and off uncontrollably. It was very scary! I stopped the car and shut off the engine, but everything continued. Luckily I was not far from home and was able to carefully drive it there. Once in the driveway, the only way to get the car to quit was to disconnect the battery. Waiting on repair report.”

“The 2009 Chrysler Town And Country has a design flaw in the defrost vent design. The front defrost vents are not properly angled to clear the lower portion of the window. During inclement weather the wipers can become frozen to the windshield and fail to properly work. The vents are angled so as the bottom 4 inches of the window has little to no air circulating on the window. This design also causes the window to fog in temperatures below 32 degrees and not clear properly. The vents also do not angle to the outer edges of the windows. …”
