Possible black urethane polymer issue as with 2014 & 2015 windshield. Water leakage, wind sound on driver side while driving, when vehicle is on uneven terrain, window scratching sound occurs while driving. Bought vehicle used. Not sure if original factory glass is present...name I believe is pinkerton or something like that. Anyway, safelight window doesn't do detach and re-attach work, as glass has broken in the past, so uncertain how to determine if this is a problem such as was for the 2014 & 2015 vehicles per the old or expired polymer caulking. Nevertheless, sometimes while driving, sounds like windshield could come off or dislodge, but not always. Didn't happen when we first bought vehicle this past summer. Bought vehicle last summer and noticed water on the floor after rains, with once or twice seeing a fine stream of water on driver side of window frame per water coming in. Can't keep floor dry. Also, in the summer/fall, per possible water in vehicle, noticed foggy window from within, when starting up and certainly now during the winter, per a frost like effect, till defrost is turned on. As for when this occurred, there is no specific date. Obtained vehicle in june of 2017, didn't notice water on floor till later in summer, didn't hear or notice windshield wind sounds till january of this year (2018). January 15 2018 date is arbitrary and not exact as this has been developing over time.

Blind spot right side radar (safety feature) failed after 41 months. Car was purchased new in november of 2011. Inspected failed part and found a bulge on edge of the plastic container. Opened the device and found metal corrosion on and in the metal case. It appears that the water seal either broke or was not sufficient to stop water leakage. Metal corrosion material was on the print circuit board which I believe cased the failure.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler town and country. The contact received a recall notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v234000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not able to be repaired because the part was unavailable. The contact stated that the front driver's side switch panel failed intermittently. The dealer replaced the switch panel prior to the contact purchasing the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. When the windows were rolled down, there was extensive water leaking into the vehicle from the front driver and passenger side windows due to the lack of window spoilers. The contact had to disconnect the fuse underneath the hood on several occasions because the rear windows would roll down automatically on occasion. In addition, the front driver and passenger side mirrors malfunctioned. The contact noticed a strong odor near the front driver's side of the vehicle followed by smoke and fire. The contact was able to extinguish the flames. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.

My t&c began leaking from under the dash on the passenger side. At first it was intermittent and usually after a heavy rain, when I would turn on my AC/defrost/heat. We had our vehicle inspected for a leak. None was found, neither was the source of the water coming inside the vehicle. Now the water drips all the time,as long as the HVAC controls are on. It is now affecting the HVAC controls: although I'm trying not to run it, when on I can feel the cool air but it is not blowing. I suspect the motors to the HVAC and possibly wipers are being effected by whatever is going on under the dash. It has all happened around the same time. There is no recall for this issue for my model year, but the same exact issue was recalled on the 08 model. "these vehicles may experience a heating and air conditioner (HVAC) condensate leak from the HVAC drain grommet onto the occupant restraint control (orc) module, which can lead to the illumination of the airbag warning light and a potential inadvertent airbag deployment without warning. Consequence:an inadvertent airbag deployment could result in injury to the seat occupant in front of the deploying airbag and/or a vehicle crash." when I told this to chrysler corp, they said there was nothing they could do. So I said, so who do I call to settle a law suit when the airbag deploys with out warning and causes me to crash, putting me and my young children in severe danger? She said, well you need to go to a dealership and get it fixed.I know that, and I will, but I think it is negligent on their part to not accept for a manufacturers defect that they are familiar with from previous t&c years. Now I have to go accrue a huge bill for chrysler to take apart the dash and fix their problem with my vehicle. I just don't think it's right.

Our 2008 chrysler town & country leaked water from a manufacturer defect in the AC drain tube, rotted the carpet and underlay, filled the wiring harness under the passenger carpet with water. The drain tube was replaced under a recall. The AC started to blow hot air.the dealer said it was the AC compressor so we had it replaced. $ 800. This did not fix the problem so they said it needed the AC pressure switch and harness so we replaced it. $400. This still did not fix the problem so the chrysler dealer then diagnosed the tipm. After $ 1200 we still have no AC. We have another $ 500 to pay if we can ever get the part. The whole problem is from the water from the defective drain tube shorting the electrical system and chrysler know it. The dealer said the tipm was on back order and there were 600 others ahead of us. We contacted chrysler but they are just giving us the run around. We bought chrysler to support american jobs. What a grave mistake.
