2012 Chrysler Town and Country visibility complaints

All safety features suddenly stopped working. The blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, park assist, rear view camera, and compass all stopped. I was told this is from driving the car in the winter! Apparently, there are two modules located behind the bumper that have corroded severely. The snow and salt is thrown off the tires directly on these integrated units that are not sealed sufficiently and so the units corrode and fail. This is absolutely a design failure. These critical units that run all safety equipment should not be placed so carelessly and not properly protected. Please see chrysler recalls and fixes this design failure. Thank you.
My van has the safety recall to have there rear quarter vent window switch replaced. I have tried 6 times to bring my van in to have the part replaced and the dealership (hendrick, chrysler jeep 543n mcpherson church rd fayetteville nc 28303) said they do not have the parts in and can not order parts. They have also told me they have no way of knowing when parts will come in and when they do come in they cannot hold them. They want me to continue calling and hoping that a part comes on. I have been trying to get this part replaced for several months. There has been no incidents with the part on my van I would just like the part replaced in a reasonable amount of time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 10 MPH, both rear windows released in an open position independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where they disengaged the vent window switch. The part was unavailable to repair the vehicle according to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v234000 (electrical system). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.
Engine dies right after starting, some times 2 or 3 consecutive times. Some times when engine starts, sounds like it is running on 3 cylinders. Also at times the wipers come by them selves, even when it's not raining!
Blind spot monitoring system illuminates constantly. System has failed and can not detect vehicles in the blind spot. Unable to turn off system unless paying for costly repair. Lights and chimes are distracting to the driver and could result in unnecessary avoidance maneuvers.
Got a recall notice in summertime 2014 regarding the switch for the rear windows. That if water got down into it, it could catch fire. Went to dealer in romeo, mi. I was told that chrysler did not provide them with the part and asked if I wanted it have it disconnected from the electrical. I declined. Went to get my oil changed at a clinton township dealership on december 2014, remembering that the recall was never dealt with, and asked again. I was told the same exact thing. No part available; could have it disconnected. I again declined. Can't understand why chrysler bothers to send a notice if they are not going to provide the part. Legal reasons, I imagine, not for customer care.
We contacted the local dealership in july and were told that they would call us when the parts to fix the faulty window switch on the driver's side door were received. As of today, they have not received the parts. We feel that 4 months is too long to wait for parts to fix a safety recall issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler town and country. While operating the vehicle with the windshield wiper switch in the off position, the wipers would erroneously activate and the instrument panel lighting flashed off and on. The dealer stated that the ground cable was faulty. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 37,000.
On april 12 2013 was the first problem that started with the vehicle. While driving the windshield wipers turned on while driving. I was unable to turn them off until I disconnected the battery. I have had several experience with the vehicle turning off while driving going highway speeds. It sometimes won't even start up, just flashes blind spot unavailable. Also the alarm goes off at random times. The sliding passenger doors open and close when vehicle is off and sitting in drive way. Both doors will open half way then suddenly start to close with nothing blocking the door. Power stow and go malfunctions all the time!!!!. The vehicle is putting off a very heavy gasoline smell now when it starts. I feel like this car is possessed. Chrysler will not help me with this situation. They are putting my family in danger everyday!

I own a 2012 chrysler town & country. While driving down the road my blind spot indicator lights up both on the mirrors and the dash. It continues to ding, chime and light up while you are driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where I was informed that I had to replace the blind spot indicator and that I had to pay to have this replaced. I have 48,500 on my vehicle this vehicle has been well maintained. This is definitely a problem as there was another chrysler town & country at the dealership at the same time mine was for the same issue.

Automatic headlights turn off when driving. It has happened twice now. If driver doesn't react quickly and turn lights from automatic on to manual on there could be an accident.
I reserved a 2012 town and country in august of 2012,,, ( they said that way the only auto that they had on the lot) from enterprise that had a defect in the rear window,,, I pick up the car on 9/24/2012 and stop for the night in ga,,, that night it went down to 30 degrees.. I turn on the rear defroster and the window blow up as we were heading north on I-75. This auto had a recall on it for this problem by the auto company but enterprise is trying to collect,,,3 to 4 emails a day $312.00 in top of the ~$500.00 I all ready paid I believe that enterprise leases unsafe cars to seniors and when they are damage because of the defect enterprise charges them and get money form the auto company on top of what they can force us seniors to pay>>>>
