| We have had problems with our town & country since we bought it a few months ago. there is a problem with the electric. all of the gauges, radio, dash lights flash on and off erratically. the worst part is that the car completely shut off one time. it went completely dead! i put it in park and tried to restart it but it did nothing. some people came over and were offering to push me to a safe spot. i was very grateful because i had my two small children in the car with me. i tried to put the car in neutral but it wouldn't even let me shift gears. i just kept trying and trying and trying to start it. it finally started again and i hurried home. another scary incident happened just two days ago when we had a lot of slushy rain and snow coming down. the flashing started again and then the windshield wipers stopped working. i could not see anything! luckily i made it to a side street before running into anything or anyone! we have spent about $2k trying to get the problem fixed to no avail. i called and emailed chrysler but since it was just over the 80k mile warranty, they weren't interested. they said i could buy a new warranty but it wouldn't cover pre-existing conditions. i have read many other online posts about others having this same problem with their town and country. i hope there is something you can do! thanks for your time! | |||

| Car parked on level surface with engine running & in park. looked out of the 2nd floor window approximately 2 to 3 minutes later and the car was moving, entered the garage (door opened) and ran into the wall, making a hole in the wall and minor scratching of the front fender. the car was still running and the gear was in drive. filed a police report since i was showing this home for sale and couldn't figure out why it started moving after 2 to 3 minutes of idling. below date is an approximate one. unsure of exact date at this time but would probably show up on the police report. estimate about $200 for wall repair. *tr | |||

| I own a 2006 town & county chrsyler van, it is fine until my husband drives it. then it sounds like in the universal joint/drive train/sounds like it clunks and falls into place when taking off or stopping. i took it for my normal oil change and ask them why it did that. the shop manager said that my van's has a memory of my driving and when someone else drives it, it needed to be put on a machine to clear, that was all. it drives without that sound now. i'm not a hard stopper or fast starter. does my husbands driving cause it to do that, he stops harder and takes off faster than i do? | |||
