1996 Chrysler Town and Country body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 33 of 33, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Paint estimate at body shop is to repaint entire bumper or replace. Too costly for me. Later models (?) had rubber mat here to protect bumper. This van does not have that. Missing? Or reason for new feature? At any rate, complete paint job on rear bumper is several hundred dollars. Cannot afford it.
Air bag light permanently on due to failed clock spring assembly, air bags disabled, also affected horn and cuise control. Vehicle suffers from unusual power drains/fluctuations, battery replaced 3 times within 3 1/2 years. Electronic door locks (four doors) frequently fail, can only service when failure is consistent. Vehicle occasionally stalls (abruptly) at any speed, throttle system serviced a few times (outside of tune-ups) with little benefit. Front and rear windshield wipers activate by themselves quite often (but never at the service shop/dealership), with no set pattern, multifunction switch replaced twice. All problems except for air bag (customer paid for repair as well as for other problems) still persist.
When making a turn with air conditioning on vehicle will shut completely down, causing a loss of power. The dealer has been contacted.*ak condensation from the A/C was falling on the elctrical component causing the vehicle to die this occurs because of the flaw in design. Sliding door sticks. Windshield wipers failed. Hazard device failed. Horn malfunctions. Air bags failed.
Power locks....locks you in, cannot open the doors. Locks you out, cannot open the doors. Does not lock all the doors at once, usually leaves passenger side sliding door unlocked. Have had system replaced, is now worse than original. Also, sets off alarm unnecessarily. ...... - windshield wipers come one intermittently when turning corner, turning on turning signals, or without any justification. Very startling, and extremely distracting when driving and the wipers just come on. Thank you for your work.
