This is with regard to a chrysler rear quarter vent window switch safety recall p25/the federal safety agency 14v‑234. We received the recall around may 2014 and went to the local dealer shortly after. They did not have the part shipped from chrysler and disconnected our vent window switch as a safety measure until the part comes in. We have checked numerous times and they still have not received the parts from chrysler as of august 2015. The dealer appears to have done what they can and the hold up has been with chrysler.

While traveling on an interstate highway, the check engine light lit-up on the dash. I pulled off the road and called my dealer which was located 15 miles away and was told that I may not make it back to them for service. The engine would quit. I did drive to the dealer without incident. The alternator was replaced by the dealer at a cost of $577.35. The cause of the failure of the alternator was not identified, 14v‑634 does not include the town and country but includes other chrysler, dodge and jeep vehicles of the same year. I am requesting that this vehicle be considered for this recall.

Turn signal lamp on both mirrors defective. Cover comes off exposing the electrical board with the lights. Both sides not functioning. This appears to be a common issue on the internet. We have a chrysler maximum care plan which it the best warranty chrysler offers but this part is not covered. This item is for added safety but not functioning and I'm concerned exposed electrical boards to the weather could cause a short or fire.
Blind spot indicators began to malfunction with indicators in mirrors remaining on, and driver information system stating the blind spot indicator system failed. Also lost rear back-up camera shortly thereafter. Purchased this van as a replacement to my 2005 t&c with 280,000 miles.

When starting vehicle,it acts like the battery is dead, the starter clicks several times then starts like normal....updated 11/13/15 *bf updated 1/4/2015
The blind spot detection system stopped working. Upon further investigation, it was determined that both sensors in the rear quarter panels and 1 plug need to be replaced. The right rear sensor was completed corroded through and separated apart. The plug for this sensor is also melted from the corrosion. The left rear sensor has a large bulge in the plastic from over heating. I contacted the dealer and was told that this is a known problem but there is no recall. The estimate over the phone was $3,000.00

Blind spot detection system failure. The system had failed 8 months ago and needed a corroded blind spot sensor ($1200) replaced. The system failed again after 5 months. I just turned it off to avoid the constant warning chimes. Last week while driving smoke appeared in the rear of the vehicle. I stopped and opened the tailgate to clear the smoke. The info center warned that the rear parking assist system had failed, and the rear back up camera also no longer worked. The dealer says both blind spot sensors and the rear wire harness need to be replaced. This is a very expensive repair for a 4 year old vehicle.

In august 2014 and again in january 2015 I received letters from chrysler concerning a recall for the rear quarter vent window switch. I've checked regularly with my dealer who keeps telling me the parts are on back order. As this is a potential fire hazard I am greatly concerned it is taking so long to resolve
