| My vehicle has been going haywire. sometimes the locks goes up and down by itself and you can hear something sort of like a tazer. the odometer blinks while all of this is going on. also, i took my van to the shop at sears because when i turn the switch for air, it only works on high and not all the time. they told me that seems to be the case with many of the town and country vans that come in there. also the pipe that runs coolant to the back vents rusted out. again, after researching with many shops, was told that it appears the same issues are taking place with this model van. also there is a lot of rust underneath. not sure as to how it is happening. i have had to replace my radiator twice with the last 6 years as if something is rusting parts underneath. i will be visiting many shops and having the owners sign a petition as to what are the ongoing issues with these vehicles. i have started a blog and i am not the only person with issues with this vehicle. | |||

| I own a 1999 chrysler town and country minivan. while driving in the rain with 3 passengers ( 1 youth, 1 toddler in car seat and 1 elderly person) i noticed the steering became very hard to control, immediately after i looked at my indicators and noticed the temperature was on the max hot setting. i was able to pull over and ark it and upon having it towed i noticed a belt hanging from under the vehicle. after asking around and doing research i found it was the serpentine belt, which i cannot afford to fix at this time and i also found out it was a common problem with this particular vehicle. wont chrysler do anything to fix this most dangerous defect??!! | |||

| The serpentine belt falls off in wet weather on my 1999 chrysler town & country minivan. this has happened 4 times this past year alone and has cost me in terms of towing and service. this can also be a very dangerous situation depending on when and where the belt falls off. when the belt comes off, there is no power steering, the radiator overheats, and the alternator isn't charging. this can ruin the engine. after searching the web, i found that this is a very common experience for both dodge caravan and chrysler town and country vans. there should be a recal to fix the problem. | |||

| I have a 1999 chrysler town and country limited edition, it started having transmission problems, i got that replaced, the lights that turn on the wipers and and air keep blinking and will not turn off, the vans' panel lights won't cut on and the van won't start. when it does start, it cuts off after about 3 seconds. after it does that, it won't start again for 24 hours. sometimes i unlock the doors and the locks relock themselves before i can open the door. the alarm cuts itself on and sometimes locks me out the car to where i can't put the key in the door. when i am able to cut the alarm off and try to start it, it will start for 3 seconds then cut off constantly until it doesn't start again. i have had my vehicle towed a number of times, no dealership i have talked to seems to know how to fix the problem. some dealers won't even take the van as a trade-in. this was an investment for my family to travel, now i'm to scared to let anyone ride in the van from fear of being stranded. last night we were stranded and had to call a cab to pick us up for a $50 ride home. this is not acceptable for a consumer to go through these problems and chrysler has no idea how to fix it without you having to pay thousands of dollars for a quick fix and then it happens again. going through these problems makes want to never own another american made car, and they wonder why people are starting to buy foreign cars with higher prices but better longevity. | |||
