Several attempts to start. The windows make clicking noise and "gear malfunction" type noise when attempting to open or close windows. When letting go of the window button the noise "grinds". When opening the back hatch using the button, some of the other windows make the same 'grinding' type noise. This only occurs when vehicle is stationary. This has been happening for about 6 months.

The back seats have no safety design whatsoever. I was in the back trying to install a carseat in the one seat and pushed the button to fold the bench into normal use position and it started up normal, and a tiny bit of the carseat was bumping into it when it got stuck, I attempted to push it back to the left side down position again to remove the seat and it refused to stop... It kept going after pushing it 10+ times and eventually started grinding and then continued to twist the left side metal bracket that helps the seat move. It now will not go up again and I am terrified to even have a child seated back there after seeing how neglectful the design is to safety for the third row seating.

Van purchased brand new in february 2011. Have had brakes replaced once under chrysler brake recall/repair program. Replaced initially at approx 16000 miles. Now brakes have failed again with improper stopping at 30 MPH resulting in grinding, squeal, and excess vibration which scared me at time of stop.

A few months ago a squeaking noise began on the right side of the vehicle. At the end of march I took the vehicle to the dearlership to have the squeak looked at as well as have the front brakes and rotors replaced (at the time the vehicles mileage was 22,160). Service advisor reported that the squeaking was likely the result of the rear brakes and was not uncommon. The squeak has continued. Set up another appointment for may 17th to have the vehicle inspected again. Service advisor advised that the squeaking issue is indeed still the rear brakes, they are not bad and the pads are half gone but does not recommend that they need to be replaced at this time. As of june 19th, the squeak continues and at times get's worse. What I don't understand is why the brakes squeak when I am not even pressing on the brake pedal. Chrysler replaced the front brakes, why are they not replacing the rear brakes which obviously had more wear and tear due to the front brake issue they did address. Chrysler needs to admit fault on this issue as well.

Our 2010 chrysler town & country has given us nothing but trouble since it was 3 months old. The transmission shutters in reverse (dealer says "normal"). Transmission failed while on vacation. Would not downshift or upshift properly. Transmission replaced (dealer lied and said it was aminor repair and was "rebuilt", chrysler zone office said it was a major failure and had been replaced). New transmission has surge/bump shift from 2nd-3rd gear. Dealer and chrysler engineer said "normal" but reflashed the computer. The brakes have been worse... And an ongoing issue. At 3500 miles, they started to make a metal on metal grinding type of noise. I lived with it until the second oil change at around 6000 miles. Front pads were replaced, rotors were turned. 3000 miles later, the noise came back. Brakes were replaced again -- this time front and rear. Dealer and chrysler accepted no responsibility, yet said they were replaced for "customer satisfaction." every 3000 miles since, the grinding noise returned and the brakes were replaced. The latest time, the dealer did not replace and said, again, that the grinding noise was normal. Said pads had 90% left and were not "worn enough to warrant replacement." so I will go back in a couple thousand miles to have them done again? This is a safety issue. Chrysler has given me an extended warranty (that does not cover the brakes) and also offered me $5000 on a new car... But this thing has tanked in value so much, I am far more than $5000 upside down in it. All of these things (and loose door hinge bolts, squeaks, rattles, etc) have been described as "normal", yet I have been told that they are only fixing these items to make me happy. Nobody will admit to the fact that there is something very wrong with this car.
