My 2002 town & country has been in the shop 5/6 times for rear abnormal noise and excessive steering noise.
2002 Chrysler Town and Country suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Automatic transmission disengaged while driving. Dealer was unable to duplicate or correct the problem. *ak the service dealer manager verified and experienced these conditions and was unable to correct the problem. Two days after the purchase, the van shuttered at low speed, low rpms in reverse, slipped out of gear when attempting to ascend in grade, the check engine light had come on. Other problems that occurred, were as followed: the brake calipers were squealing which may have been due to sticking, the vehicle leaned to the left, and the right sliding door didn't open from the inside switch. *scc
The vehicle stalled without warning. *jb as the consumer pulled into the parking space, the vehicle stalled without warning, then the vehicle was placed in park, restarted, and continued into the parking space. On another occasion the vehicle into reverse, the vehicle stalled without warning, restarted the vehicle, placed in drive and stalled again. There was an intermittent click noise when the pedal is depressed, the A/C fan noise, the suspension felt loose and leaned to left, uneven tire wear, clunk noise in the front end when coming to a stop, when turning, and pulling into a parking space, the tires meet a resistance,the gas pedal vibrated, and there was a groaning noise in the steering wheel and or the engine when turning or when in reverse. The motor mount was installed incorrectly and was repositioned properly. Scc
The tires experienced abnormal wear of the rear tires, consumer was informed an alignment was needed. *jb the abnormal tire wear was on all four tire outer edges, out of alignment/adjustment, front alignment were set to specifications, however, the rear axle tube assembly was replaced on the rear to correct the problems.

The vehicle, above, bounced around on the road and was noisy. Since we are both retired and drive about 2000 miles per month we felt unsafe since about 75% of our miles are at highway speeds on the interstate roads. We feared a lack of control with a possiblity of a crash. The dealer reaired but chrysler would not stand behind the cost of $726 to repair. We experienced this reaction on the 2001 chrysler after two years because we drive more than double the average driver. It would seem to us that there are some potential accidents waiting to happen when the average driver reaches their fourth year or 52000 miles. Feel there should be a recall on the failure of front end struts and sway bars for a two year old vehicle with 53000 miles. Dt
Engine sputtering and failure occured at 23000 miles while driving. Vehicle serviced by dealer several times, replacing and repairing electrical system components. Dealer has replaced wiring harness/ iginition coils, bare electrical wire shorted/ PCM replaced/replaced clock spring twice, and replaced front control module. Consumer wasvery concerned about electrical problems. Does not feel vehicle is safe.
Vehicle wanders all over the road at any speed, in wet conditions vehicle sways. Taken to dealer 3 times, cannot remedy the problem.
