TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL INJECTION WIRE HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE. THE WIRE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE REAR HATCH DOOR WOULD ERRONEOUSLY UNLOCK INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN OUR TOWN AND COUNTRY AND IT WAS A CARQUEST AFTERMARKET FUEL PUMP. EVER SINCE WE PUT IT IN ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM, NOW THE CAR STARTS REALLY HARD AND. WHEN WE DRIVE IT SEEMS TO WANT TO STALL OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT SAFE IF THE CAR STALLS GOING 50 MPH WE ARE GOING TO LOOSE OUR STEERING AND CONTROL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ON GOING WITH THE EVAP SINCE WE BOUGHT IT USED IN 2010, THE OTHER THING AUTO ACCEPTANCE (WHERE WE PURCHASED IN 2010) DID WAS GIVE US A NEW GAS CAP WHICH DID NOT HELP THE ISSUE AT ALL... THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS AFTERMARKET PRODUCT AND IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WOULD HAVE NEVER SPENT THE MONEY ON IT. I AM CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY AS WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN IT AS WELL. *TR

MY VAN HAS A SEVERE GAS SMELL EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT AND IT HAS COST ME AND MY CHILDREN TO SUFFER FROM SEVERE MIGRANES I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 5 KIDS WITH A FIXED INCOME AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY OR REPAIRS I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE VEHICLE I STILL OWE 4000 ON IT AND NOONE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE TILL I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC I HAVE OTHER ISSUES AS WELL I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND FOR SOME REASON THE ENGINE GOT SO HOT IT SHOT THE BEARINGS IN THE RODS TO THE OIL PAN IT IS GOING TO COST ME OVER 300 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND ALSO THE BALL JOINT SNAPPED ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE THERE IS JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER GOING WRONG WITH THIS VAN IT IS IN NICE PHYSICAL SHAPE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I GET ONE THING FIXED AND SOMETHING GOES WRONG IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN GET DONE ABOUT THIS? LIKE I SAID I AM STILL PAYING ON IT SO IT IS NOT LIKE I CAN JUST GO OUT AND GET ANOTHER CAR TO REPLACE IT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT IT FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT FOR MY KIDS. *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. AFTER 2ND OR 3RD FUEL FILL, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. IT HAS STAYED ON. WE HAD IT CHECKED AT OUR LOCAL PEP BOYS AND WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL FILLER NECK IS BAD AND THAT CHRYSLER IS GOING THROUGH THEM AT A RATE OF 100 PER WEEK. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND THAT CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO PAY FOR A PART THAT IS OBVIOUSLY SO DEFECTIVE ON THE VEHICLE THAT THE RATE OF REPLACEMENT IS 100 PER WEEK. *TR

FOR THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT A SMALL VAPOR LEAL FROM THE GAS TANK IS SUSPECT. THE DEALER CHARGED THE CONSUEMR$115. TO REPLACE THE CORRODED PLASTIC GAS CAP. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT EITHER THE GAS CAP IS INADEQUATE OR THERE IS FAULT IN THE ELECTRICAL SENSORS. *NM

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF. A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THE CLOCK SPRING, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK THE VEHICLE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SUCH AS STEERING PROBLEMS, SLIDING PROBLEMS, BRAKE AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND THEFRONT SWAY BARS AND REAR SHOCKS WERE REPLACED *JB

TRANSMISSION FAILED, AND THE WHEELS LOCKED UP. *PH THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A VIOLENT BUCKING OF THE VEHICLE AS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND LOCKING UP THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE INITIAL BUCKING UP OF THE VEHICLE OCCURRED BETWEEN 15 TO 20 MPH, AND THE LOCKING UP OF THE WHEEL AT 5 MPH. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE MANAGER THAT PARTS FOR TRANSMISSION WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT LEAST A WEEK. CONSUMER DECIDED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR FACILITY AND WAS ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE PARTS OVER NIGHT AND REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE DEALER PRESENTED THE DAMAGED TRANSMISSION TO CONSUMER AND IT SHOWED DAMAGE ON THE GEARS WITH MOST OF IT ARE IN THE GEAR'S INNERMOST PART. ALSO, THE DEALER'S ESTIMATION WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A BEARING FAILURE WHICH LED TO A CHAIN REACTION AND RESULTED TO TRANSMISSION LOCK-UP. AFTER THE VIOLENT BUCKING FROM TRANSMISSION FAILURE, ENGINE DEVELOPED PROBLEM OF MISFIRING WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A BAD FUEL INJECTOR AND COIL PACK IN THE NUMBER SIX CYLINDER. CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT IT WAS ALSO CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LA
