1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2019

My vehicle's blind spot detection system stopped working while driving down the street. It began flashing and beeping incessantly and was horribly distracting. I had purchased an extended warranty so made arrangements to have it repaired at a Chrysler dealership. The dealership just called me and said that the warranty would not cover because the computer module that controls the blind spot detection system had gotten wet. The dealer said it was a design flaw and the module was placed such that over time it got cracked and moisture causes a malfunction. He said he'd seen a lot of this. So, I called Chrysler and they said there's nothing they can (will) do. This is a safety feature that is causing a safety hazard when it malfunctions. There are numerous complaints on the internet regarding this same issue. I feel there should be a recall before this malfunction causes accidents if it hasn't already.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2019

The first time it happened we were driving in town going little under 30mph and went over railroad tracks and the whole car shuts down. . . Now anytime we're driving and go over any little bump or railroad tracks the car shuts down and I have to put in park and restart the car. The car also shuts down with any touch of the key in the ignition.

4 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2015

Myself, the driver and my wife were (riding in the passenger seat), with my son 2 year old sitting in his car seat in the middle row. The current outside temperature outside was 70 degrees f . We had just drove through a small residential area going approx. 30 mph. We came to a stop light , while waiting for the light to change there was a loud pop , almost sounded like a fire cracker going off. We instantly turned around to find the rear gate window shatter. At first I thought the vehicle sitting behind me at the light had hit my vehicle, but when I looked he was parked nearly 8 feet away. I talk to the guy and his wife sitting behind me and he said , that it was weird it look as if the window blew out from the inside. The window just explode. Here were the current variables taking place in the car while at stop. 1. The rear defrost was not on 2. The rear side vent windows were both fully open 3. Outside temperature was a comfortable 70 degrees f. Now as for the after math there¿s not really much to tell other than the window shattered(completely gone) and glass all over the place including right next to my sons car seat. The focal point of the break seemed to be located at near dead center. I¿ve just contacted Chrysler about this and I am going tomorrow to see what they say. When I googled this problem I found a handful of town and country from 01 to 13 with this problem. But they tell me on the phone this is not a common thing and will need fca dealer to look at it , which is fine my only concern is they fix the issue, because I can replace a window but this does not solve the underling problem. Had there been people in the 3rd row seating what would have happen to them? this vehicle (minivan) was purchased to be used as our family vehicle and now sadly I am worried to drive with my two year old son in it. Hopefully a resolution can be made.
