Mechanical Jack Problems of Chrysler Town & Country

Sudden loss of transmission fluid resulted in engine light warning. Internet searches on this vehicle provided similar complaints on this 2000 Town & Country van. It has 56,000 miles. Also reported leak of brake fluid and dealer suggested replacement of faulty brake fluid drums (potential safety issue). Informed Chrysler regarding this matter but they refused warranty coverage, resulting in expensive repair work over $600 for transmission fluid and brake pad repair work. Also, driver's side automatic window motor stopped functioning and replacement was necessary $325. Dealer reported frequent problems with motor. Dealer informed 9 out of 10 times issue related to replacement of motor so glass can function correctly. Required to function to pass DE safety inspection. When attempted to change flat tire, the hydraulic gauge did not hold the weight of the vehicle and buckled. Faulty and dangerous hydraulic tire replacement equipment and can cause very serious injury.

Fuel rail - NHTSA campaign id # 00v268000. Dealer does not show record of this recall, nor does diamler Chrysler recall line (800) 853-1403. Fuel is leaking onto the engine block from crack(s) in the fuel rail. Dealer will not repair free of charge, will charge full repair costs. Jack extension - the jack that comes with the minivan has a small "extendor" piece that fits into the jack then into the designated place on the frame in order to jack the car up. When I jacked up the van using these pieces, the van slipped off the jack/extension piece, damaging the running board (and narrowly missing my head!). It appears there is supposed to be a cotter pin to hold the extension piece onto the jack, but this was not included.

The jack extension that came with an accessory (molded running board) is not adequate for vehicle, when in use the extension tilts out of place making the jack very unstable. Mjs.

Modification to the jack, caused the jack to collapse twice.

Needed to change tire and used jack. On leveled ground jack failed dropping van. Please describe details. Tt.
