The van has a known issue with its maker- Chrysler which is with motor of the stow-n-go. The back seat the motor does not work on half of the seat making the seat look "bent" and unable to be used. Upon further research it was discovered that this is something that the maker is aware of and many of the motors go out. This is why it's a very hard part to replace costing about 4000 as it needs to be made brand new. The warranty is expired. The frustration is that mopar (Chrysler) will not even consider offering any kind of assistance with this issue as the above mentioned warranty expired. This, however is a known problem to them. They are keeping quiet about as they can't call it a recall when it's not considered a "safety" concern. It is a safety concern as if my child can't sit in the seat. We were told that the seat is not safe to sit in. Spoke to a supervisor at mopar who dismissed me promptly. Would not offer to help with anything since "the vehicle has 105,000 miles on it" unsure why the safety aspect of this wouldn't be important enough to want to help. Will not even entertain the idea of buying an american made vehicle again. Third time owning a Chrysler/doge vehicle with major issues. This is why our economy can't bounce back-too much dishonesty!!.
2009 Chrysler town and country van. Top model. While driving at highway speeds the rear seat (with kids strapped into seat belts) will start to fold, pinning the child. (there is nothing even remotely close to the buttons that control the seats position. Seat also acts abnormal once you stop the van and press the buttons to put it back into correct position. ) this is the fourth time this has occurred since we bought the van in early 2009.
2009 Chrysler Town & Country has a potentially serious flaw with the automatic rear seat. The consumer stated he was removing some suitcases from the well behind the rear sear. During the process, he lost his balance and fell against the buttons on the side that operate the seat folding closure. The backs of both seats began to fold forward. The consumer tried to stop the movement by pushing the buttons, but they kept folding. They finally came to stop and the consumer was able to retrieve the rest of his bags. When the consumer attempted to straighten out the seats by pushing the button, nothing happened. The consumer noticed the part of the mechanism on the right seat was bent. The consumer believed a governor should be installed on the seats to stop the movement if the seat senses an obstruction.
