I purchased this vehicle in August of 2013 and have been having ongoing problems with the alarm system. It shuts the vehicle down and won't let it start again for anywhere from days to weeks later. I have had a new computer put in and flashed by the Chrysler garage but nothing and noone seems to be able to fix this problem. It makes the vehicle totally unreliable and a safety hazard to get stranded anytime. I have been dumping money into the vehicle for over a year trying to get it fixed with no luck. This should be a recall item that is addressed at the expense of the company. They know this problem exists.

This is the 2nd incident for the same problem. First complaint #10468365. I was stopped at an intersection. I crossed the street and my tires splashed water that was running down the street gutter. The water was 2-4" deep. I once again immediately lost steering and the engine began to overheat. I was able to muscle the steering wheel enough to pull it off to the side of the road. I looked under the hood and found the belt had slipped off again. I had to have it towed to the garage. The mechanic checked out the belt and the tensioner and said they were ok, and they reinstalled the belt. The first time this happened I was turning a corner, and the van went into the opposite lane. I guess I can be thankful for the draught these past few months. This is a serious problem. It makes me afraid of driving when it is raining or with any water on the road. I can't imagine what would happen on the interstate at 70mph, passing someone, or taking a curve in the road. I contacted the Chrysler dealership. A bulletin #07-0299 was issued in 7. 14. 99. The dealership said I would have to purchase any fixes as it wasn't a recalled problem. The dealership told my mechanic they offered a $400 kit to fix the problem, or I could purchase a "snow" shield and have it installed. Why would I need a "snow" shield in louisiana?.

It had been raining but had stopped. I was making a right hand turn when my right tire went through approximately 2-4" of water in the gutter. I immediately lost control of the steering and veered into the opposite lane. Fortunately there were no cars in that lane. I had difficulty steering and the engine began to overheat. I was fortunate the garage was around the corner. The belt had slipped off the pulleys. The belt had not broken, only slipped off. They said I was the 3rd town and country that day that had to have the belt put back on due to the wet weather, and that it was a problem with model for many years. This is the 3rd time to send this report. When I hit "verify" everything goes blank.

1999 Chrysler town and country the dash lose function, driving without speed and the rest of the function.

My vehicle has been going haywire. Sometimes the locks goes up and down by itself and you can hear something sort of like a tazer. The odometer blinks while all of this is going on. Also, I took my van to the shop at sears because when I turn the switch for air, it only works on high and not all the time. They told me that seems to be the case with many of the town and country vans that come in there. Also the pipe that runs coolant to the back vents rusted out. Again, after researching with many shops, was told that it appears the same issues are taking place with this model van. Also there is a lot of rust underneath. Not sure as to how it is happening. I have had to replace my radiator twice with the last 6 years as if something is rusting parts underneath. I will be visiting many shops and having the owners sign a petition as to what are the ongoing issues with these vehicles. I have started a blog and I am not the only person with issues with this vehicle.

I have Chrysler Town & Country and both of driver side and passenger side windows stop operating. I had similar problems with the rear passenger side window last year.

Consumer received a recall on seats to have them redone. There was a problem about the heated seats getting hot. They had the seats redone. When they drove the car a substantial amount of miles the back of the van/the taillight, and back bumper caught on fire. The car was sitting still when the fire occurred.

Multiple eletrical failures in convenience items through-out car & now loosing engine power while driving. Vehicle currently at chyrsler service, but recalled part that was possibly installed incorrectly on 1996 to 98 models has had failure on 99 model, but no recall. Dealership not addressing safety issue of vehicle dying while auto engaged, more interested in replacing all convenience items. There has been no auto failure at highway speeds yet.

My 1999 town and country imtermittenly will not start. We've taken it to the shop several times and they can find nothing wrong. The speedometer, tachometer, etc. Also has shut off by itshelf while driving.

Consumer states that the transaxle input speed sensor was replaced. While driving, the vehicle stalled, dealer informed consumer that the computer would have to be replaced.
