| Beginning within weeks of purchase, cruise control will randomly not turn on; must restart engine to fix the problem. also, when on, the cruise control may suddenly turn off, usually need to restart engine to get it to work again. all the above occurs on a regular basis, even after repairs by the dealership. *tr | |||

| While driving down the interstate i set the cruise control which broke from the steering column. it was hanging by the wires inside the steering column. after exiting the interstate i made a left turn. the cruise control stalk got entangled with the turn signal causing the steering wheel to become inoperable. my quick fix was to tape the cruise control stalk to the steering column until a new part could be ordered from the dealer. it was replaced in a timely manner by chrysler.*tr | |||

| I purchased a 2008 chrysler town and country van, i was told it was a trade in from an old couple that needed a 4 wheel drive, i later found out it was a former rental. the problem is that when you take your foot off the gas the vehicle does not slow down, it continues to go what ever speed you were traveling, i have to drive with my foot on the brake to go the speed limit. i have had it back to the dealer and they tell me that there is nothing from chrysler for this problem, i feel this is a major safety issue and i am afraid to have my wife and grandchildren in the vehicle. we are going to get a speeding ticket because you can't make the vehicle go the speed limit without having your foot on the brake. or we are going to wind up rear ending someone, because you expect the vehicle to slow down when you take your foot off of the gas, but it doesn't. the problem is consistent over 40 miles per hour. and it has been duplicated by the dealer. the vehicle in question is a 2008, chrysler town and country van with a 3.3l engine. *tr | |||
