My 2013 Chrysler Town & Country has an exhaust leak. The exhaust fumes come into the cabin area of the vehicle when driving. Linwood motors in paducah, ky 42001 phone # 800-326-7604 have worked on the vehicle several times. The mechanics at linwood motors claim to have replaced the exhaust system twice, but it still leaks. On July 14, 2014 found exhaust leaking into a/c vents & blowing into cab. Tech replaced entire exhaust system. Test drove with carbon dioxide monitor from walmart, which will only detect at 30 ppm's or higher. If the monitor had indicated that there was carbon monoxide in the cab; a person could only be exposed to his level for one hour before needing to be removed to fresh air! when the vehicle was returned to us, it still was leaking exhaust fumes into the cab. We made an appointment to put the vehicle back into the shop at linwood motors on September 8, 2014 at 2 pm. When my wife and I arrived at linwood motors rick kupper and kevin jones refused to put the 2013 Chrysler t&c into the maintenance shop because they had expended all the resources the company would allow. After the 2013 Chrysler t&c has set in my yard for 16 months Chrysler has finally agreed to settle and buyback the vehicle. My new concern is that Chrysler will put the vehicle back on the market and sale it without fixing the 2013 Chrysler t&c. My wife had a stroke on June 20, 2014 and our doctors advised us to quit driving the 2013 Chrysler t&c; because my wife's doctor believes the exhaust leak contributed to her stroke. I had to purchase another vehicle to drive and lost interest on my money that I had to use from savings. Chrysler has made a belier out of me!!! I will never own another Chrysler vehicle again as long I live. Thanks Chrysler corporation for your torture. End of report.

I own a 1998 Chrysler town and country van and for the last 4 years I have had a problem with the fan belt coming off usually when it rains. My mechanic puts it back on stating that the Chrysler belts slip off when it rain. I have owned Chryslers in the past but never had this problem. I usually have my grandchildren with me and very concerned about this problem. On one occasion I was taking my son to have some blood work done and all of a sudden it started storming and the van cut off, but I was able to steer it out of the street. I cannot afford another vehicle so something should be done.

I started hearing a whinning noise coming from the hood of the van a couple of months ago. The noise was worse when the weather was colder and then the engine light came on. Took it in and discovered that the powersteering fluid had leaked out and the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The reason the engine light came on wasn't because of the powersteering but because the egr valve needed to be replaced as well as the brakes (front/back) needed replacing. Just had them replaced not that long ago. $2300. 00 later. Drive away, 1 week later engine light comes on again, now I have an engine oil leak and the emissions exhaust system is faulty. I only have 55,000 miles on this vehicle and it is less than 4 years old, I would expect this from an older car. I have a family of 6 to worry about their safety and I am not very confident in this product that Chrysler has produced. It is a shame that they are not willing to step up to the plate and admit their faults. They have lost me as a future customer as well as my family and friends. In today's economy, our hard earned money on a teacher's salary is quickly going down the drain with this vehicle. Are they waiting for a death to actually occur before they start to honor a recall? I wouldn't have known about this forum if it wasn't for consumer reports. How many chrsyler consumers are out there who don't know where to look and find out that they have a faulty vehicle,that they really aren't down on their luck. You can be sure, that every Chrysler owner I come across, I will definitely share this information with.

I went to a mechanic to find out why the engine light was on. He told me it was the egr valve (exhaust system emission control gas recirculation valve) that had to be replaced. The engine light has been on ever since. I cannot take it to be fixed because I do not have the money to replace it, but have to have the emission test done by March 31, 2009.

: the contact stated after a long trip the driver had a headache. Upon inspecting under the hood, the contact noticed the pipe that ran from the cylinder head to the exhaust was leaking. The dealership confirmed the pipe was leaking and needed to be replaced.

My daughter had a size one soccer ball roll under our 2005 Chrysler town and country minivan last night (8/11/05). She stuck her leg under the car, under the passenger side sliding door, to kick the ball back out and came into contact with the exhaust pipe that runs directly under the door. I then reached under to get the ball for her and burned my wrist on the same pipe. Our burns were second degree. Mine was small but hers was 4 inches long by 1-1/2 inches wide on her left thigh. We went to the emergency room and are following up today with her pediatrician. I fear for infection in the short term and scaring in the long term. As to correcting the failure, I will be taking the car to our Chrysler dealer and asking them to come up with a solution. I consider this a serious design failure, bound to lead to burns on others who reach under their cars. I don't want my children near the car anymore!.

January 2003 - r & r cross over pipes had a crack. Had to replace January 2003 - 3 lugnuts fell off. Had to replace July 2003 - key cylinder locked up. Had to replace and had the car towed. October 2003 - fuel pump went bad. Part broke inside the gas tank. Had to remove the tank and buy a new part. I have a Toyota with 128k miles and it has never had any of these problems! I'm thinking about trading the van in.
