2006 CHRYSLER Town & Country

CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 1 YEAR

tipm power module failed
car was possessed many diff elect parts not functioning
This is a handicap vehicle and was a total pain as we could not leave hone with power wheelchair for any appointments –

Today, the van was in park in engine running. Driver exited vehicle. Passenger remained behind to listen to radio. Van was still idling. After about 15 minutes the passenger went to turn the van ignition key to off position. Immediately during that time the van rolled forward while still showing and being in park. The van started rolling forward while still in park. The passenger had to go into drivers seat while inside the van to stop the van. With engine running the van would not go into reverse. Had to be put into neutral and pushed back into parking space. Put back into park and then inition key turned to off position and that worked. Later in day both driver ad passenger got into van and van drove without incident to residence.

Prior to the purchase of the 2006 T&C van, I requested the installation of grab bars at the front passenger side as was done for our 2000 T&C van.After the purchase of the van I was informed that grab bars could not be installed due to the configuration of the side air bags.My husband requires the grab bars to be able to enter and exit the van. The van is not safe for use by my disabled husband. I have written and e-mailed Chrysler to no avail and the dealer is not interested in the safety of my husband. Desperately need your kind assistance.

FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW BUTTON FELL OFF OF DOOR PANEL.FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED, REAR BRAKES CLEANED AND ADJUSTED AT 21,163 MILES. MECHANIC THEN FOUND WATER PUMP LEAKING.

When lightly applying the brakes, the brake pedal goes to the floor and does not stop the vehicle. This happens multiple times a day. If I pump the brakes, I am able to stop.

I HIT A POWER POLE AND A DITCH AT 55MPH. THE CAR WENT AIRBORN, HIT A POWER POLE, SPUN AROUND AND LANDED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT I DID NOT DECELERATE FAST ENOUGH FOR THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. I WAS INJURED BUT MY SEAT BELT WAS ON. THE KEY WAS JAMMED IN THE IGNITION AND TWISTED AND THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. THE IMPACT WAS THAT HARD. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE STATE TROOPER, INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MAN WHO OWNS THE GARAGE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED ALL SAID IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINION THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN AT THIS POINT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM WHAT I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THE AIRBAG SENSORS MAY BE BEING RECALLED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HOWEVER, I DON’T FEEL LIKE THEY ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AT ALL. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS ON MY HOME FROM WORK AFTER A 12 1/2 HOUR SHIFT.

I bought this 2006 Chrysler town and country minivan in October of 2009….I also bought an extended warranty….My car is burning oil and Chrysler is telling me this is normal….I also just found out my trip-odometer is off by 800 miles….and once again Chrysler wants me to drive around and bring it back….
