general problems of the 2003 Chrysler Town & Country

I can not start the car right up when I put key in ignition. I have to wait until the security light go off. Now it is getting harder and harder to start. . . . Sometimes I have to wait between 1 and 2 hours before it decides to start up.

Sometimes the tailgate after opening will immediately close and there is no way to stop it. Then it won't stay open. The left side sliding door doesn't open with remote and the remote lock/unlock doesn't work. I have talked to several people who have the same problem with their vehicle (same year). Someone could get crushed by this.

The contact owns a 2003 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the chain link to the handicap ramp in the vehicle failed. The chain became wrapped around the rotary device on the floor of the vehicle. When the device wrapped around the rotary, it caused the floor and the door of the vehicle to begin smoking. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The failure mileage was 43,000.

While at an intersection, I had a power loss on my Chrysler town and country. After the loss of power I was unable to do anything. I had to shut the van off wait 10 minutes and then start it up again. After restarting it was not shifting correctly and the check ingine light then came on. I took it back to the dealership where we had bought it 3 months ago. They ran a test on the van which it failed. It failed the transmission test. Knowing that they will not fix it. While I was making the hour drive to the dealership the light went off, they said without the light on there is nothing they can do. I have a 3 year old daughter and will be having my second child next month. What are they willing to do if we all get killed by this. They know it is unsafe yet they will do nothing!!.
