It sounded like an explosion. The van began to decelerate and the steering began to lock within about 10 seconds of the explosion sound. The van stopped and the tires locked up.
When turning the steering wheel consumer heard a popping noise coming from the steering column. Consumer took vehicle into the dealership for inspection. However, the problem recurred.
When driving in the rain vehicle lost power steering. This caused the vehicle to drift to the side of the road. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership on two separate occasions, but problem recurred.
2000 chrysler town and country belt problems.*mr the drive belt for the power steering slipped off while driving through a puddle. The dealer replaced the idler pulley but the belt has slipped off twice since then.
The vehicle lost power steering while driving over puddles. When this occurred the steering wheel became hard to turn. The dealership indicated that the manufacturer is aware of the problem but they don't think it's dangerous. The van has been serviced 5 times for this issue.
Update to the problem related to the serpentine belt of a 2000 town and country.(odi number: 770436 12/4/02). A fifth (5th) occurence occured on jan 17, 2004 . Still without resolution other than tow the van and put back the serpentine belt.
While driving my 2000 chrysler t&c in wet weather, the drive belt slipped off during a left turn. The steering immediately became very hard due to the loss of power. If my wife had been driving there could have been a serious accident as she is not strong enough to turn the vehicle. The service department at bermont motors said that this happens often when going though puddles. Loss of steering happens often when going through puddles? The drive belt slips off in wet weather and puddles! How safe is a loss of steering, even just for a little while?
Up to 1999 model town & country, by chrystler, we under recall for a part in the steering column. My vehicle was produced in 1999, but was the 2000 model. Recently, I had to have the same part replaced in my vehicle that was under the recall from chrystler, but it is not covered. I feel that the same part should be covered regardless of the model year.
Vehicle leaf spring has weakened causing the rear of vehicle to sit at an angle. Problems with front wheels and brakes. *mr the dealer was unable to repair the re-occurring problem with the front brakes, and the rotors. The front wheels and or brakes were squeaking again, which meant that new front brakes were needed again. (this was the fourth time the brakes were replaced) the consumer requested a full refund of the purchase price of the vehicle. Other problems are as followed: the left rear shock had blown and a bolt had broken on the right shock and were replaced,the brake light would come on when going around corners, the rear view mirror was loose along with the right side mirror(both readjusted), noise in the steering and was hard to steer at times, there was a metal sound in the front strut especially when the temperature was cold, and there was overheating so the all the parts of the cooling system were replaced.
All 4 incidents happened on a rainy day (spring 1x (wife driving and turning from a stop light 5-10 MPH), fall 2x in one day(30-40mph), last incident 12/4/02 (30-40mph)). When belt slips off, power steering disabled, power brake disabled, alternator disabled, cooling system disabled, engine overheats, stalls when battery runs out. Local dealer (spirit chrysler, lubbock) has no idea why the problem persist. Dt
When making slow turns in wet road conditions, in either direction, power steering goes out for 3-4 seconds. As soon as turn is completed power steering is back on. Vehicle has been examined twice by dealer, could not find a cause.
Steering makes a popping noise when turning in any direction or on certain road surfaces. Problem persists as long as vehicle is driven. Dealers area representative stated a new steering column was being made to correct the froblem. *ak the steering column was replaced twice but the problem was not corrected.
Consumer states that the steering column has been replaced twice and there is still a noise when making a turn. Please provide additional information.
This vehicle has veered to the right ever since I took delivery. I called the dealer within 30 minutes of delivery and returned with the vehicle. They have worked on it 4 times now replacing parts and making adjustments. They now tell me that it is a caracteristic of the vehicle and that I need to get used to it. I feel very unsafe driving it. I have an appointment tommorrow with another dealer to have them take a look at it. The mechanic at metro c/p agrees that I have a problem, but is at a loss on how to solve it. He told me that there was a similar vehicle with the same problem just before I had had mine in.
