TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING COLUMN AND CLOCK SPRING FAILED. THE ONLY WARNINGS THAT WERE PRESENT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE WERE THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING AND THE HORN FAILING TO WORK. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE SHE NEEDS HER HORN TO PREVENT CRASHES. THE FAILURE HAS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO IT TO FAIL AS WELL. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR CEASED WORKING DURING COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS AT RANDOM TIMES OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS & THEN SUDDENLY THE AUTOMATIC FUNCTION OF THE DOOR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED FROM THE INSIDE. EVEN WORSE IS THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHEN USING THE MANUAL HANDLE WITH THE LEVER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS SMALL CHILDREN COULD BE TRAPPED. EARLIER WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT A NEW TRACK HARNESS & SOMETHING ELSE WAS NEEDED AT A COST OVER $500. WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS. DOORS SHOULD WORK MANUALLY WITHOUT $500 PARTS. THERE IS NOTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH THE DOOR, NOR HAS IT BEEN IN A COLLISION ETC. *TR
