My 1999 town and country air bag warning light came on, horn, and cruise control have stopped working. Dealer claims it's a defective clockspring assembly and they are being recalled in the 1996-98 year models, but not 1999. My cost - $180. I believe 1999 year models should be included as well. I see from your website that I am not the only person in the 1999 year category that has had this problem (or should I say the privilage of paying for it).
1999 Chrysler Town and Country acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving the vehicle, the speed cruise control is not working properly, manufacturer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ts
When disengaging speed control by depressing brake pedal, vehicle would idle high and gain speed. Dealer has been notified, and could not remedy problem. *ak
Cruise control does not work. When it is on and set it does not hold speed. If left on it will unexpectedly accelerate and then will not turn off with the brake. The only way to turn it off it at the steering switch. It was not working one night and the van acellertaed as I was changing lanes on ice. My reaction was to brake and van acelerated immediatley after I took my foot off the brake. Good thing I remembered quickly to use swithch at sterring wheel for there were other auto around. The chysler service center that I have taken my van to three times has not been able to diagnose this problem yet and therefore it is not fixed. I will continue to try and get the cruise control fixed . I never use my cruise control because it is so dangerous. I hope no others are injured discovering this porblem.
While driving about 65 MPH vehicle suddenly started dropping speed, RPM's went up as consumer applied accelerator,but vehicle kept slowing down. Dealer could not find problem, this happened again in september 2001.
Parked and put the vehicle in reverse. Vehicle behaved like it was in neutral. Let the car idle for few minutes, and car overheated. Consumer contacted dealer. *ak
