| The switch that operates the turn signals, the wiper/washer, and the high/low beams fails as such: when signaling left at times the right indicator comes on, and visa versa. when operating the wiper on switch, nothing happens until you signal or use the high/low beam part of the switch. when trying to lower my headlight beams the switch will at times fail to lower them until a separate action happens with the switch. all of these failures are sporadic, and will appear apparently when there is moisture in the air through rain or fog. (when you would not want them to happen at all). these are safety recalls i am asking for because the dealership, even though we have an extended warantee says they cannot do anything unless they see it happen. most of this happens after hours or when the dealership is not open. i have had the vehicle to the dealership on three separate times. a recall would cause them to be obligated to do the repair. after researching this problem on the web have found many 2006 town and country minivan owners have experienced the same issue. please issue a recall on these. i am sure other years are affected because that switch is widely used. | |||

| 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! | |||
