2007 Chrysler Town&Country Lwb

THIS IS A FREQUENTLY RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. EVER SINCE PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OR ALMOST STALL FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED ACCELERATION WITHIN MINUTES OR LESS THAN FIVE MILES OF REFUELING. AFTER ABOUT 3 TO 5 SECONDS OF CRANKING, THE ENGINE WILL RESTART.. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER OR TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. I TAKE CARE TO STOP THE REFUELING PROCESS IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE NOZZLE AT THE PUMP CLICKS SHUT. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS STALLING OCCURS NORMALLY AT AN INTERSECTION AND I FEAR AT SOME POINT, THERE WILL BE A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS SINCE PURCHASED IN 2009. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 105,000. *TR

THE A/C GROMMET IS LEAKING AT THE FIREWALL AND CAUSING THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN TO BECOME WET WHILE THE A/C IS ON. IF THE A/C IS RAN LONG ENOUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE ALSO BECOMES WET. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE STARTING FROM THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF FEBRUARY 2007 AND GOING UNTIL JUNE OR JULY 2008. MY VAN WAS MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2007. I BELIEVE THAT MY VAN SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL SINCE IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. PLEASE HELP US.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTY VAN AT A NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, A RED LIGHT CAME ON THAT INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS DEACTIVATED. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHO CHARGED ME $160 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I HAD GONE 3 MILES THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VAN. THEY DID A BETTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID THEY COULD FIX IT BUT THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER THE FAILED PART, WHICH WAS AN AIR BLADDER SENSOR THAT COST $1300. THEY ASKED ME TO PAY IN ADVANCE WHICH I DID, ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEY SAID THE PART WAS IN. I BROUGHT THE VAN IN, THEY TOLD ME THEY MADE A MISTAKE, THE PART WOULD BE IN NEXT MONTH. THIS NEXT MONTH, NEXT MONTH ROUTINE HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR CLOSE TO TWO YEARS. DURING THIS TIME THE LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY ON AND OFF. I HAVE INVOLVED, THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE REGIONAL PARTS MANAGER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE. THE DODGE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL BUT UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER A YEAR CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME 95% OF MY COST FOR THE PART WHICH NEVER ARRIVED, THEY CLOSED THE CASE AS SOLVED. THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED AND THE VAN IS STILL UNSAFE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY MECHANICS ABOUT THIS AND THEY HAVE TOLD THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. CHRYSLER HAS REASSIGNED A NEW CUSTOMER CARE PERSON WHO TELLS ME THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE NEXT MONTH AND NEXT MONTH AND HINT AT A COST NEAR $3000. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF CHRYSLER CARS AND THEY TOO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THEIR PROBLEMS WERE LESS INVOLVED THAN MINE BUT I SUSPECT THAT SOME OF THE SYSTEMS WERE JUST DEACTIVATED. I WONDER HOW MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEMS. I HAVE ALERTED MY ATTORNEY THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY AND I AM INJURED OR KILLED TO SUE CHRYSLER AND TELL THE MEDIA. *TR

FEBRUARY 2011 - DRIVER SIDE ELECTRONIC PASSENGER DOOR CEASED TO FUNCTION. CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT - WIRE HARNESS NEEDS REPLACING, MOTOR WORN. WIRE HARNESS UNAVAILABLE FOR 2-3 WEEKS. JUNE 2011 - FOUR MONTHS LATER WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PART - NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER, 5 CUSTOMERS AT OUR CAR PLACE WERE WAITING TOO. VAN DOOR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPEN/CLOSE MANUALLY - A DANGER TO THOSE TRYING TO EXIT/ENTER THE VEHICLE QUICKLY/IN AN EMERGENCY. FORCES OUR CHILDREN TO ENTER/EXIT ON FAR SIDE OF VEHICLE WHERE THEY'RE NOT VISIBLE. CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE -- WE DISAGREE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL BE YET ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE WE GET OUR PART - IN THE MEANTIME THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR IS NOW HAVING PROBLEMS OPENING. HAVING A PART ON NATION WIDE BACK ORDER FOR 4+ MONTHS, WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN A TOWN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT BEING ONE THAT MAKES A SAFE AND FAST EXIT/ENTRANCE INTO THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT SEEMS LIKE A RECALL-ABLE PROBLEM. WE ASK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN GATHERING DATA IN THIS REGARD SO THAT HOPEFULLY CHRYSLER WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND TAKE MORE EXPEDIENT CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
