 The manual door lock on the sliding door will not unlock. both automatically or manually. it does this intermittently. my van is a wheelchair van and the sliding door is my only means of exit. i had a wheelchair van mechanic take the whole locking mechanism apart and he discovered there was a flaw in the design of the door actuator. he made a modification and it worked. this is a big problem in all year models of the chrysler town & country vans. in an emergency situation, there is no way of opening the door. the manual lock sticks in the locked position and will not release, even under force. chrysler is well aware of this problem. chrysler could at least address the problem and make a retrofit part for these doors.

 While traveling north bound on m-24, (telegraph rd.), my left rear quarter panel window exploded. the temp. at the time was aprox. 65 deg.s road condition was smooth. the window was open at the time of the explosion. after checking the internet concerning this problem, it did not take long to find hundreds of people who experienced the exact same thing. all of these incidents involved all years from 2001 to 2012. why hasn't anything been done about this problem?

 Driving vehicle at appropriate speed in traffic, noticed a/c was blowing warm air, smell of something burning and smoke under hood from passenger side. immediately turned off air and stopped vehicle as soon as it was safe to do so. upon opening the hood found smoke coming from right front engine bay area around alternator and a/c compressor. allowed engine to ventilate and cool, restarted vehicle but with hvac system off and drove to the nearest repair shop where the mechanic checked the vehicle. mechanic changed the engine oil and recommended to charge the a/c system with refrigerant. other mechanics suggested taking vehicle to a/c repair shop. informed that t&c vehicles prone to have a/c compressor issues and known defect. never received recall notice or offer by chrysler to have known defect corrected.

 The power window motors on both front doors and lift mechanisms went bad within a month of each other. resulted in a 500 repair. only a few weeks later the genuine chrysler parts went bad on one of the windows and had to be replaced again resulting in free repair but having to deal with it again was ridiculous. lemon
