When backing up I came to a stop. I shifted from reverse to drive. The van felt like it was hit from behind. Something in the transmission causes a hard bang. This happens about 40% of the time. I had it into 2 Chrysler dealers and they say it is normal. They reprogrammed the computer several times to no avail.

We are in the process of purchasing this vehicle and have been told there is a long delay on the ordering of this part (the rear window recall issue) cannot understand if this is a possible fire issue then why are they not being shipped as requested. This makes me very concerned as I Transport children and this could be very dangerous. I have trusted the Chrysler company for many years and have only purchased their vehicles the past 20 years but this has me very nervous. It might be a little thing to them but on a tight budget and finding a nice van to help with the transportation of my family and grandchildren I have questions to the speed in getting this issue resolved.
My van has the safety recall to have there rear quarter vent window switch replaced. I have tried 6 times to bring my van in to have the part replaced and the dealership (hendrick, Chrysler Jeep 543N mcpherson church rd fayetteville nc 28303) said they do not have the parts in and can not order parts. They have also told me they have no way of knowing when parts will come in and when they do come in they cannot hold them. They want me to continue calling and hoping that a part comes on. I have been trying to get this part replaced for several months. There has been no incidents with the part on my van I would just like the part replaced in a reasonable amount of time.

2012 Chrysler Town & Country. Consumer writes in regards to recall replacement switch issues due to lack of parts. The dealer disconnected the switch and stated they would call the consumer when the part(s) arrived.
My blind spot detection warning system has stopped working. The indicators on the review mirrors comes on and stay on and I get a message the system is disabled. I went to a Chrysler dealership on April 7th and was told the sensors in the back bumper were bad. I was quoted at least $2,500. To fix this. I called the Chrysler customer service 800 number and was told there was nothing they could do for me. This is further aggravating because I also have a problem with my backup camera. It has not worked since about 37,000 miles. It works fine after 45 seconds but not until then. When I reported this to Chrysler they told me to buy a new radio. While I have a lot of miles on my vehicle, neither of these problems are mileage related. They are both safety issues. I have been driving for 43 years and never had blind spot warning or back up camera systems before so do not plan to pay to fix. They also told me I have to deal with the warning lights going on and off all the time because there is no way to disable. That is distracting. This vehicle is registered to my business and I also use it personally.

There was a recall for a defect in the elec switch for the rear quarter vent window. There was the chance that it may over heat and could cause a fire. I took it to the dealer and had the switch disconnected as the recall suggested. That was in July of 2014. I always use these windows and it has been an inconvenience not being able to do so. I understand that the parts are available now and I have been trying to get it fixed for the last couple months now. My Chrysler says it is impossible to get the parts and that only a couple are sent out T the most at a time. I have been first on a waiting list at the dealer waiting for this part for over two months now. They said my interior light color is blue and that they are not getting any of that color in. Not sure what that has to do with the elec.switch I need? it has been almost a year and I am very disappointed in Chrysler as to how long it has taken to solve this recall and the inconvenience that this has caused me. I am getting very impatient and expect this to be solved as soon as possible. Please follow up on this and help me get this solved as soon as you can.

This is already a known issue and a recall was issued in June 2014. Nine months have elapsed and repair parts are still on back order. This is ridiculous and the manufacturer should not be allowed to hide behind a claimed parts shortage. Suppliers can certainly produce parts in less than nine months.
Driver side door open on it's own. Wife closed it, after that it would not open or close at all.called dealer ship and they had to replace the locking system on that door because it had begun to make a noise when it finally start opening. And about a month later the passenger door did the same and I'm having problems getting it fixed. I feel this is a safty issue.if I were in a wreck and this was the only way out or my children need to get out and this door jam or want open we would be in a lot of trouble.
