“We contacted the local dealership in july and were told that they would call us when the parts to fix the faulty window switch on the driver's side door were received. As of today, they have not received the parts. We feel that 4 months is too long to wait for parts to fix a safety recall issue.”

“The object sensor modules are located in a wet zone yet the part is not water proof. The moisture blew out the circuit board of the module and actually deformed the housing. When I removed the passenger side sensor I found it was packed with mud and other debris. The sensors went simaltaneously and the triangle warning light stay lit up as you drive. I looked into having the issue fixed and found that the module is over $800 - that is over $1600 to fix a safety nuisance a poor design caused the issue. …”

“I own a 2012 Chrysler town & country. While driving down the road my blind spot indicator lights up both on the mirrors and the dash. It continues to ding, chime and light up while you are driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where I was informed that I had to replace the blind spot indicator and that I had to pay to have this replaced. I have 48,500 on my vehicle this vehicle has been well maintained. This is definitely a problem as there was another Chrysler town & country at the dealership at the same time mine was for the same issue.”

“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. …”
