2012 Chrysler Town And Country Body and structure Problems

“Vehicle was in park and the power liftgate malfunctioned, slammed shut and locked on pointer finger crushing my digital nerve. The liftgate malfunctioned two years previous to this incident and was repaired by the dealer. When I inquired about it being replaced when this happened, I was told the warranty ran out. There is a major safety issue with this part of the vehicle. Im very lucky the only thing that was injured was my finger. This could easily kill someone”

“The van will just shut off while driving. I have been keeping track in the last 4 months it has shut off completely 32 times while in motions sometimes starting right back up other times takes so cranking to get it to turn over. Last wednesday 10/14 the car shut off while I was driving my kids to school in a 45 MPH zone and the van went right off the road luckily no damage and no one being injures.

“The rear-liftgate of our 2012 Chrysler town & country slammed shut on april 11, 2014. Thankfully, we weren't underneath it at the time. Both struts gave out at the same time.

He noted that he would discuss it up his chain at Chrysler and advised that I discuss my concern when I get surveyed from my service call. …”

My wife, not knowing where his hand was, started the door closing using the power feature. The door closed and latched completely, crushing two fingers of my son's hand in the process. Thankfully, there were no broken bones and only minor injury, but the door did not hesitate to close whatsoever despite the obstruction. …”

“Myself, the driver and my wife were (riding in the passenger seat), with my son 2 year old sitting in his car seat in the middle row. The current outside temperature outside was 70 degrees f . We had just drove through a small residential area going approx. 30 MPH. We came to a stop light , while waiting for the light to change there was a loud pop , almost sounded like a fire cracker going off. We instantly turned around to find the rear gate window shatter. At first I thought the vehicle sitting behind me at the light had hit my vehicle, but when I looked he was parked nearly 8 feet away. …”
