Seven problems related to door latch have been reported for the 2003 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Our driver's side rear door comes ajar when we are traveling at high speeds even though the door is locked.
When using the automatic door closure option with both the driver and passenger sliding doors, the door will only close to within 5 inches and then bounce back open. I have taken it in for warranty work 3 times and they are unable to repair it, they have replaced the latches and replaced the track thing it runs on.
Unable to close door latch prevented door from closing and unable to be safley secure door. Passingers exposed since door would not close.
While pressing the remote to open the door, the door and latches failed to work on its own. . The consumer had the vehicle inspected and the mechanic informed the consumer that the problem could not be duplicated. Please fill in additional information.
I was stopped at a stop sign. I proceeded into an intersection and the pass front corner of my van was impacted. The force of the crash caused me, as driver, to come out of my seatbelt and I was thrown out the door which opened during the crash despite being locked. I was thrown to the pavement and injured.
The rear driver door will only open from the outside. This problem happened intermittently.
At highway speeds driver's side sliding door will open by itself. Also, the rear hatch will do likewise. Once the doors open, they will not close manually or automatically for at least 45 minutes.
