I am not sure if it is electrical or not. It seems while in some very cold weather, the heater suddenly stopped working on the passenger side and then about 10 minutes later it stopped on the driver side. The fan worked well but it blew out cold air only. If we did not have warm gear with us, I am certain we could have received severe frost bite.

Power steering problems, and power window and door problems.
The check engine light started flashing, which means a misfire in the engine is occurring when the temperature is above 80 degrees. It was found to be a faulty driver for the coil pack firing on cylinder 3 & 6 in the ecm computer. No signal was coming out of the computer for the coil pack driver module on cylinders 3 & 6 which share the same coil pack. Replaced the $850 computer and all is fine.

Vehicle has electrical problems including but not limited to power windows, wipers, stereo, headlights, and ac controls. Problems include headlights flickering on and off, wipers/stereo does not function when you first turn on the car and then comes on by itself anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 days later. No pattern can be determined which makes me to believe that the whole electrical system of this vehicle is defective. According to the dealership they cannot duplicate the problem, or if they cannot determine the cause of the problem, therefore it isn't their problem. I have spent countless trips to the dealerships and paid for them to look at it only to be told that they can't duplicate it. Then they offer me a solution for no less than $400 that is supposed to "fix" the problem when anyone with common sense knows that I would just spend that money and still have the problem because the replacement that they are proposing isn't the root of the problem.
Many electrical problems, windows don't go up and down, radio and cd player does not work, fan on the heater does not come on at times, heated seats do not work, sliding door has come open while driving (very dangerous if you have kids). Popping noise in the front suspension. Still does it after being worked on.
My 2001 Chrysler Town & Country at 73,000 miles had the check engine light come on. My wife started the vehicle the next day and she said that it sounded like the motor was going to fall out when she put it in reverse and the vehicle would not move. We had our local mechanic check it out. He said that there were two transmission codes showing defect but he did not have the proper equipment to check it out further and we had to take it to the dealer for service. We were able to get the vehicle working again so we took it to the dealer who is 50 miles away. On the trip to the dealer it went into "limp in" mode at 65 miles per hour. The vehicle violently decelerated and about put my wife through the windshield. She "limped" in to the dealers parking lot where the vehicle died. 7 days later and $2800. 00 I got my vehicle back with a new transmission. No transmission should completely self destruct at 73000 miles but it seems that Chrysler products do (and sometimes sooner). My neighbor also has a 2000 caravan that is on its third transmission. In addition to the transmission problem, my van has had problems with the drivers side window not operating. The sliding side doors will open while driving down the road and the drivers control's for these doors do not work. What more do I have to look forward to with Chrysler's "quality" products?.
The air conditioning compressor in my 2001 Chrysler Town & Country minivan has failed. While driving the vehicle the compressor failed. Smoke was coming out from under the hood. I pulled the vehicle over and opened the hood. The compressor was smoking. I immediately shut down the a/c on the vehicle controls in the cabin. I am certain that if I hadn't powered down the compressor it would have caught on fire. There is a technical service bulletin on this particular problem.
Radio overheated under high heat conditions 110+ degree weather. Radio circuit board short circuited and burned. Burning condition occurs at heat disipation unit and main circuit board; left side of radio, where a aluminum plate is located.
2001 Chrysler Town & Country, sliding side door motor failed very quickly. Chrysler refuses to fix problem since I'm not original owner. Also, liftgate motor failed about the same time and again, Chrysler refuses to fix under warranty. Both doors are hard to open due to this problem.
If the side automatic doors or the automatic liftgate are opened and left opened while the car is not on, for any more than a few minutes, then van will not start and will need to be jumped. There have also been other electrical problems. The headlights, when left on automatic, will sometimes flicker when the car is not running . The rear wipers quit working, as well as the seat heaters.
The electronic doors are not working properly on my 2001 Chrysler town and country. The right door and the rear hatch do not open with the button. They have to be manually opened. They worked great until about 45,000 miles, then quit.
The power sliding doors had become inoperative. The dealer stated the motor was inoperative. The inside switch on the left and right side doors were hard to open. The dealer stated that the problem was due to a defective roller. The over head console locked out/switch engaged. The cable was disengaged. Mr scc.
Nobody was hurt either time but this happened twice and the manufacturer has failed to fix it yet. The car is brand new and the electrical system has just shut it down on two separate occasions while driving 30 mph (once in a parking lot and once on a city street). My family is afaid to drive it now a days since my wife has been stranded without power two times. When the car shuts down, it loses all power and can not be restared. We have had to get the car towed back to us on 2 separate occasions in the first month we owned the car.
For the last 3 years, we have had nothing but problems with our 2001 Town & Country awd van. I am in the shop almost once a month! the list of repairs are as follows: (2001) failure of rear-windshield wiper, failure of driver's side heated seat, replaced switch, replaced front drive shaft, replaced power steering reservoir bottle (2002) replaced power steering pump, transmission failure (2003) of rear fan motor, replaced rear-tailgate latch, failure of front passenger heated seat, driver's side window sticks and stays down mostly during wet weather and requires you to turn the defroster on high for 5 minutes to have it go back up, check engine light came on due to leak in compressor, belt still squeals after a hard rain, knob for fog light won't stay on.
Problems with body control module resulted in vehicle not starting up. After many minor computer/electrical problems, the vehicle stalled and would not start. This happened three times and each time the consumer was told that the vehicle was fixed per service dealer. Also, the power sliding doors/rear lift gate would not open from the inside at times.
While driving the dashboard lights and head lights flickered suddenly which resulted in poor visibility. Please provide more detailed information.
Consumer states some of the vehicles electrical components are not working. Both windows on the drivers side and the rear are not functioning. Also the driver side seat belt is not working. Please provide any further information.
I just had the driver side passenger door malfunction in such a way that the door could nor be opened manually, with the remote or with the power button in the car. This is an obvious safety problem. Good thing I did not have an accident where the right side of the van was damaged or obscured. God forbid a fire. And guess what, the 36000 mile warranty just ran out. As did $500 of my money. Another problem is with the power doors and power trunk (hatch). They will not close properly. These openings will attempt to close, but right before they complete the action, they reverse to a fully open position. The dealer cannot seem to fix the problem, even after multiple attempts to correct the problem. They have had may vans in their shop for at least 12 days n the past two years trying to fix this problem. I will give the dealer some credit, after the last visit I have not had this problem. It only took the 6-7 visits to get it right. I wonder if my current problem has anything to do with this last visit? *dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*769303.
