The automatic sliding door of my 2008 town and country chrysler mini van closed on the fingers of my 4 year old child while he was sitting, strapped into his booster seat. I did not realize until I opened the drivers side door and was then able to open the sliding door to release his fingers.
2008 Chrysler Town and Country locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Following a front end deer strike on the highway, our auto body shop completed the repairs to this auto - a 2008 chrysler town and country. Our concern after we struck the deer was that the hood flew up "blinding" us as we attempted to get to the side of the road. I originally felt that the hood lock must have failed. The auto body shop said that the issue was that the "upper tie bar" broke free. This in turn [in ways that I don't completely understand] took the hood lock with it. The radiator support also was involved somehow in this failure. Apparently, while the hood lock was metal, some of these other pieces are plastic and could not withstand the front end impact without failing. I believe that this is tremendously dangerous and that the manufacturers should be aware that, while the airbags functioned properly, we could have died because of the loss of vision caused by the hood. I notified chrysler but they said that since the vehicle has been repaired, there is nothing that they will do about this.
Keyless remote (peanut) would not open vehicle; needed to use 'emergency key' to access vehicle; was able to start vehicle with peanut key. Changed battery, still does not function properly. Within one week, second keyless remote had same problem. Dealer repaired one peanut and ordered one new peanut. Within 2 hours of "repair" remote has same problem, again. Returned to dealership, got new remote that had been ordered, and another new remote was ordered. At this time we are waiting for second new remote. Service manager has treated us very well and compensated us, at least partially, for well over 500 miles of trips to/from dealership.
