2006 All In One Mobility Town & Country

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANELS FAILED. THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL LIGHT ALSO SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE FAILURE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT FAILURE WAS 140,000.

THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE FAILED AT 20,000 MILES. IT SUDDENLY STARTED SQUEALING AND THEN LIKE METAL ON METAL WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ON 5/23/10 WE PUT TWO NEW BRAKE PADS (CERAMIC $58.56) ON THE FRONT. AFTER ABOUT 8 WEEKS THE BRAKES STARTED PULSING WHEN I BRAKED. ON 9/3/10 I WENT TO A CHRYSLER GARAGE AND ON 9/10/10 THEY TURNED BOTH FRONT ROTORS FOR $ 125.00. SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON FOR ABS, AT THE SAME TIME THEY REPLACED BOTH REAR BRAKE SENSORS $478.20. ALSO GARAGE HAD A "SILENT" RECALL TO REPLACE 2 FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS WIT "IMPROVED PARTS". IF I HAD NOT GONE BACK TO A CHRYSLER GARAGE I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR RECALL. TOTAL $562.04, FOR A VAN THAT HAD 21,698 MILES AT THAT TIME. MY 36 MONTH WARRANTY WAS UP JULY 2010 AND WOULDN'T COVER BRAKES ANYWAY. THIS REPORT IS FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES AND BECAUSE TWO MONTHS EARLIER I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE SENSORS. NOT HAPPY.
