Turned the lights on as it was getting dark while driving and even on high beams it was if headlights were barely on. Also the left front blinker failed although the back blinker did work but flashed extremely fast. Replaced both headlights and still have to use headlights on bright to see as if the lights are on dim. The left front blinker and side light failed within a month of replacement. When replaced again, there was no change. The blinker/side light failed to operate.

After about five years, the driver side mirror has slowly deteriorated. It has turned brown, reflects double objects, and extremely poor visibility. This is a safety issue that the dealer will not pay for. We would like a new mirror.

My husband, myself and our 4 year old daughter were driving our 2005 chrysler town & country touring mini van, all of a sudden was a loud bang sound. My husband was able to pull the car over and while doing so I looked in the back seat to check on my 4 year old daughter who had her face covered with both arms. We found the sliding door window on the passenger side had exploded and shattered. This has traumatized my 4 year old daughter and thank god she wasn't hurt. Our first thoughts were someone was shooting in our vehicle. The cops came to the seen and couldn't find any bullet marks, they stated it must have been a defect. I have contacted chrysler customer service and there are supposedly no recalls with out VIN#. This could have been a very serious situation and I feel as if chrysler should be held responsible for this. I am having to pay $100.00 deductible for this repair.

It first started by failing to turn on after a few times of trying to turn on the lights on the dash. It then progressed by turning off while driving in the city. It worked for a few months without incident until 2 months ago. After a cold start the lights would come on but after driving it to the store about 3-4 miles away and restarting the car it has failed repeatedly. I believe this to be a serious safety issue. I've had to drive home by manually holding the high beams on to get home. There was almost an accident due to this problem.

In november 2007 I had heating and air conditioning lines replaced due to a recall. In april 2009 it was recharged due to it leaking and being totally empty. It continued to leak. I just was informed that the problem is the same exact one that was replaced during the recall. The dealer explained that it is a bad design flaw and that some of the replaced recalled parts don't even last a year! The estimate to fix this problem that was supposed to be fixed due to a recall is over $600.00. I thought the idea of a recall was to fix the problem in the first place; not to just delay the problem until the warranty runs out. This is the third time in four years that I have had problems with these lines. I live in new york and they are not protected from the elements. They need to resolve this problem as well as the same problem that has been repeatedly occurring with the tire pressure sensors that still do not work properly in the winter months. Should I continually be charged to fix something that was never fixed properly from a recall? What other parts are unprotected that I don't know about yet that might result in some major accident.
