Four problems related to engine cooling system have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving the van it began surging, as if a fuel line problem, and then would die and each event the power steering would fail. I had to park the vehicle in a hospital parking lot and get it towed in morning. When attempting to start the vehicle, it made a very loud "clank" noise as if a rod broke. Result is a $5000. 00 engine replacement due to a faulty computer which sent erratic signals to cam sensor. Vehicle has 120,000 miles. . . . All commuting at gentle speeds (we have averaged 23-25 mpg so it is obvious we drive sensibly). We have been religious about service. . . . . And can prove it. I have owned Chrysler products since 1966 and this is the last!.
2005 Chrysler town and country with 45,000.
Vibration and in brake petal and/ or steering wheel. When turning sharply to left makes a grinding noise also has a bumping feeling like something is loose. Service department checked and had warped rotors and needed front disk brakes for the vibration, the grinding and the bumping noise was loose suspension sway links front brakes were replaced and rotors were resurfaced- I had to pay for the brake and rotor repair; the suspension loose sway bar links were replace listed was replaced front sway bar link and a link-sway eliminator. Driver seat feels like it has lost its cushion sometimes feels like there is a hard knot of something in the tail bone area of the anatomy. The a/c vents are unable to adjust for cooling the front and side windows. The floor vents do not line up with the openings in the floor console causing any air to be moved toward the front and under the dash. Was told the seat and a/c was all in normal operation.
2005 chryssler town n country limited 6,100 miles only air conditioner is not cold. Sometimes passenger side is cool but the driver side is not. The 1 st time we had it in for service the dealership informed us that the free-on level needed to be filled more, and that mayby the factory did'nt fill it up all the way. I just brought the vehicle in for the 3 rd time. I'll keep you informed.
