| My brake pads and rotors had to be replaced on my 2008 chrysler town and country van when i had barely 19000 miles on the vehicle. brakes were tested as fine during a safety inspection in january, and suddenly 3 months later they had worn down to metal to metal contact which then also ruined the rotors. no accident resulted from this, however, i see through research on the internet that this seems to be a trend for this make/model of car. | |||

| I had my 2008 chrysler t&c checked for squeal in front tire area, and they found that i had 5% remaining on my break pads. now i wonder why they didn't notice this at my last tire rotation? now it is costing me over $300 to fix. i then read online that this has happened to many people and there is no recall or notice from chrysler. | |||

| Owner of a 2008 chrysler town & country touring mini van. presently vehicle has just under 25,000 miles and brakes are completely shot and squealing. not sure that i should continue to drive in this condition. expected repair costs are around $300-400. service center is telling me that many chrysler t&c vans are experiencing same problem. rotors are undersized for vehicle and experience premature wear and failure. | |||

| I was driving on the h-1 freeway in honolulu, friday afternoon about 1:20 and my 2008 chrysler town and country lost power actually the engine turned off. i was in a middle lane and traffic was not good. i almost caused a crash because i wasn't prepared for my power steering to go out just before a curve. thankfully, i was able to stop safely. i called a local dealer, and they could get to it eventually. *tr | |||

| 1. safety defect in the wireless ignition module (ignition) in 2008 town & country (touring model). vehicle will run but most electrical components will not work, including turn signals, windows, remote mirrors, lights, horn seat, door locks, window locks, clock, ac radio and wipers. the result of the defect includes inability to safely operate the vehicle once in motion. driver is not necessarily aware of the problem until they go to use the horn, lights, or turn signal. chrysler denied the existence of the problem until i made them come to my home during an episode. 2. defective fuel pump. vehicle idles extremely high and the entire vehicle vibrates violently. chrysler replaced the fuel pump yet the safety defect continues. chrysler denied rearing or feeling the vibration until a chrysler factory rep was called to thomasville in response to a state of georgia office of consumer affairs lemon law claim. chrysler replace the pump yet the safety defect continues. 3. severe grinding/scraping noise coming from the rear tenter of the vehicle. to-date, chrysler denies the noise and has not repaired the problem. i fee the issue os one of a possible fire hazard due to its proximity to the fuel system and unknown defect in the fuel pump. *tr | |||

| I wrote a few weeks ago about the doors on my 2008 town & country that the opened on there own and then would not always respond to the remote. chrysler has updated the computer in my van. recently i had more problems of the doors not responding so the van went back to the dealership for that and a new radio with wiring from the radio to the antenna, had to have the seats on the middle row reupholstered and because of heat coming out from under the dashboard. which is the other reason i am writing. they can not find the problem and it is not all the time but there is a tremendous amount of heat that comes out. because of this problem with the heat coming out and still a problem with the doors i feel that my chrysler town & country is really unsafe. *tr | |||
