R03 recall was performed on my van. I do not remember the date. And recently the WIN stopped working correctly... HELP. Will not start car. Remote start works but WIN is not working.
The A/C lines that go to the rear are defective. It wouldn't be such a big problem but, it causes all the A/C components to not work/fail. We had our children in the rear and had no A/C in the worst traffic backup for hrs. It gets entirely too hot back there even with the windows open. Our mechanic looked up parts needed for this repair and informed us that the parts were on national back order. So he told us that it is indeed a common problem and it is definitely a major safety concern.!! There were no warning's, messages, or symptoms before this failure occurred.

Out of the blue, my passenger rear sliding door on my 2008 minivan stopped responding to my key fob and the overhead button to open or close. There have been times it's been stuck in the locked position making my children either going out the other door and even climbing over to the front seat to get out. It is available for inspection upon request and as I have never taken it in to get looked at, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed. It has not been inspected by anyone. Prior to this failing, there were no warning lamps or messages given off by the vehicle.
My van has a failing TIPM and apparently this is a common thing with these vans. It causes the horn to sound, wipers to start even when the vehicle is parked with no one in it and the engine off. It also causes the vehicle to shut off the fuel pump causing the vehicle to shut off while driving. Chrysler is well aware of this and refuses to issue a recall, even though this is something that happens to many of their 2008 vehicles.
I have a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country minivan that is in mint condition. I brought my van to a dealership for a repair. There was also a recall for the driver side airbag. The issue is 14 people have been injured by the plastic emblem that has become loose and can become a projectile in the event of airbag deployment. The tech said the recall has them remove the emblem on the steering wheel and they don't replace it with anything. Most people decline it because they don't like the way it looks. I told him I did not want this recall performed on my car until Chrysler has a better fix. Unfortunately, the tech forgot to take the work order for the recall off in the computer and they removed the emblem anyway. Also scratched the leather on the steering wheel when they were prying the emblem off. You can imagine my horror when I picked my car up and found that a decorative trim piece was ripped off. No replacement of any kind, just an open gape with holes where the emblem used to be on the steering wheel. Very noticeable!! this is unacceptable and I want to put it out there that Chrysler lied in their press release on July 14, 2020. This is what they said...Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag cover with a redesigned cover, free of charge.. at this time there is no fix! there is no redesigned cover! don"T have a recall if you don't have a fix for damage to your customers car! called Chrysler and they still have no fix for this. What! way to stick it to your customers! they don't have any more lawsuits but leave the car owner with damage to their car. What if I wanted to sell my car" this devalues it! thanks Chrysler!! I want to know if the CEO, Mr. Manley, of Chrysler would appreciate me going in his car and removing a decorative piece of trim or emblem with no regard for how it makes the car look" you know it would not be ok!

When driving in a parking lot of a grocery store, my van's cluster board started going haywire, illuminating all warning lights, turning wiper blades on without them being on, opening windows. Turned van off and waited a few minutes and everything was back to normal. Next day it did it again when driving down the road at 55 mph. Took it to the mechanic and it did it for him. He believes it has to do with the wiring in sliding door, which does have a recall but not for my particular van. If my 2008 Town and country could also catch fire at the wiring harness, it needs to be included in the recall. Either way, it is extremely unsafe to be driving at 55 mph and have everything start to go haywire in your car. I'm afraid to drive it. This problem absolutely needs to be looked into and at the least, give the consumers a reason for it and a repair solution that doesn't cost them thousands of dollars to try and troubleshoot.
The vehicle was running in the highway. Check engine light goes on an the all panel lights began to flash make like a whisle noise and shut off. After a while it starts again but in about 2,000 meters do the same four times. We need to call a truck crane. I have read a lot of person with this issue, spent a lot of money replacing various pieces and remain with the same problem.
I have an oil burning problem. I have no leaks but my van is burning oil way before 3000 miles. Down below when it ask for a date. I enter the time I purchased the van. It's not the exact date but around that date. I was online researching and I found out that a lot of people are having the same problem.

2008 Chrysler Town and country sutting off instantly, numerious times at 20 to 30 mpr while driving on city streets, 40 to 50 mph on service streets, at speed, starting to slow, and or attempting a left or right turn. This is an intermittent problem. Dealer has had van 3 weeks, said they drove twice to simulate and could not repeate. Extreamly dangeriou S, almost rear-ended more than once.
Vehicle was stationary and parked for hours in the driveway. For no reason the alarm went off on my car. Found key fob to shut off alarm. Daughter went to see what happened, then came to tell me there was smoke coming from my rear passenger sliding door. Went outside and heard noise that door was trying to open. Used key fob to try to unlock door. Tried to manually open door. Door wouldn't open and smoke continued. Didn't know if fire was inside door and was parked by garage so called 911 to put out potential fire. Concerned that there was electrical problem so continued to park car in street not close to house. Called Chrysler customer service and they said they would send an investigator due to concern of fire. Dealer said problem was due to a broken door latch and mechanical assembly mechanism needed to be replaced in addition to door handle for $1200, but didn't want to get work done until I got the information from the investigation. About 3 weeks later got a letter from Chrysler special investigations. They said due to the age and mileage of my vehicle, there are a number of factors outside the manufacturer's control that could have been contributed to your incident. Updated 10/30/18
