POWER STEERING RACK FAILURE AT 38,000 MILES. WHINE ON START-UP. LEAK DISCOVERED WHEN CAR WAS INSPECTED. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS OCCURRING ON LOTS OF THESE VANS AND THE PARTS ARE BACK-ORDERED THE PROBLEM IS SO BAD. *TR
AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT 36,400 MILES. VEHICLE IN SERVICE FOR 27 MONTHS. DEALER REPLACED 2 SENSORS AND 2 WIRING HARNESSES. DEALER DID NOT CHARGE FOR REPAIR, CITING "1-TIME OUT OF WARRANTY GOODWILL" FOR REPAIR. *TR
PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 1/28/06. I TOOK THE CAR TO CARMAX ON 1/31/06 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. CARMAX IS STILL UNABLE TO CURE THE PROBLEM AS OF 2/8/06.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THAT HAS A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR THE SIZE OF THE VAN. I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF FRONT BRAKES AND MY SECOND SET OF REAR BRAKES. THIS WAS ALL DONE BEFORE 36,000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO USED TO BE A CHRYSLER SERVICE MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT CHRYSLER INSTALLED A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR THE VAN WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO WEAR OUT FASTER. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS BECOMING QUITE EXPENSIVE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS? I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD H…
VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT. AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DURING A DRIVE, AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT SEEMS TO TURN ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, BUT IT'S FAIRLY REPEATABLE WITH TURNING THE WHEEL. I AM SENDING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER MINIVANS STARTING WITH A 1998 MODEL AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS SYSTEMIC SAFETY PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED IN AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS. *NM

MY 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAD A TERRIBLE WHINING NOISE UPON STARTING IT. WHEN YOU WOULD TURN CORNERS, IT WHINED EVEN LOUDER. IT CONSTANTLY LEAKED POWER STEERING FLUID SO BAD THAT IT WAS ALL OVER THE EXHAUST. I TOOK MY VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED TO FIND OUT THAT THE WHOLE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

FOUND OUT ON LINE PREVIOUS YEAR 2005 HAD A RECALL FOR EXACT SAME PROBLEM (OVER 250,000) VEHICLES, SINCE MY YEAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL REQUIRED TO PAY 320.00 FOR REPAIR.

DISCOVERED THAT VALVE STEM HAD BROKEN OFF. VALVE STEM IS ATTACHED TO TPMS SENSOR AND REPLACEMENT VALVE STEMS ARE NOT OFFERED. THE BREAKING OF THE VALVE STEMS SEEMS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE UNTIL LATER AND LUCKILY, THE TIRE DID NOT DEFLATE RAPIDLY. *TR
STOPPED TO INFLATE TIRES. AS I STARTED TO REMOVE THE LEFT REAR TIRE CAP IT THE STEM BLEW OUT IN MY HAND.

OUR 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS LIT OCCASIONALLY IN FALL 2009. BY DEC 2009 BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ARE ALWAYS LIT WHEN THE VAN IS RUNNING. OUR INTERNET SEARCH FOUND THAT 270,000 2005 CHRYSLER MINIVANS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE (WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON, AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODED CAUSING AIRBAGS TO EITHER FAIL TO DEPLOY OR DEPLOY AT AN IMPROPER RATE).

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
