N/a.

Driving vehicle at appropriate speed in traffic, noticed a/c was blowing warm air, smell of something burning and smoke under hood from passenger side. Immediately turned off air and stopped vehicle as soon as it was safe to do so. Upon opening the hood found smoke coming from right front engine bay area around alternator and a/c compressor. Allowed engine to ventilate and cool, restarted vehicle but with hvac system off and drove to the nearest repair shop where the mechanic checked the vehicle. Mechanic changed the engine oil and recommended to charge the a/c system with refrigerant. Other mechanics suggested taking vehicle to a/c repair shop. Informed that t&c vehicles prone to have a/c compressor issues and known defect. Never received recall notice or offer by Chrysler to have known defect corrected.

The contact owns a 2002 Chrysler town and country. The contact was driving approximately 25 mph when the power steering failed without warning. He then pulled over to inspect the vehicle and discovered that the timing chain attachment was fractured and had caused the failure. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where they advised him that a bolt was never attached to the timing chain and because of the stress on the component, the timing chain fractured. The dealer repaired the timing chain casket and gaskets. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 75,600.

2002 Chrysler town&country - 45,000 mile. While traveling, suddenly heater began blowing cold air and within 1 minute car went from normal temperature range to extreme overheat and alarms. Stranded in the middle of nowhere had to have car towed over 30 miles to nearest service station. Told rear heater line rusted through and dumped all of the engine coolant. Also told this is a common problem in michigan (this service station has replaced at least 3 of these since spring of this year) apparently Chrysler has recognized this problem and replacement part ($255) has been redesigned and is now aluminum rather than steel. Luckily, no engine damage found after failure was repaired.

I have had a major problem with my 2002 Town & Country Mini van since we purchased it from cu fleet. The van has been in the shop for a number of repairs. From the engine to the sensors.

Hi, I bought a brand new 2002 chysler Town & Country minivan and about a week later, I noticed engine ran rough at idle. Lately, I noticed the idle became smooth at above 2000 feet elevation, and rough at sea level. I've brought to 3 different dealer services more than dozen of times complaining about this and in the last visit I mentioned about the elevation symptom, they all said they can't fix it. The van is still under bumper to bumper warranty. I would like to know any method to raise my voice. Thank you,.
