Rear tire blew out, when stopped to attempt to change the tire, I was unable to get spare tire to release from its holder under the car. Talked w/ the mechanic and he explained that all of the minivans suffer from the release mechanism rusting in place after a few years causing the spare to remain locked. Only remedy is to cutout and replace the entire spare tire assembly.

Over 20 miles per hour, car pauses for more than a normal minivan period of time, prior to accelarating. Also noise is heard coming from below minivan, when accling., that was not present up till a couple of months ago. Dealer service station claims that minivan was tested and pause in accl. Is normal. Noise still be checked out. If slow gaps in accl. Are normal, than why did this not happen for first year we owned the minivan" we've had recalled power steering hose changed as per recall instructions, power steering had, prior to recall, made extreme noises at times that were not normal, hose replacement seems to have solved that particular problem. Also, in past year and a half, had problem was A/C, and also defective fuel pump. Finally, when purchasing the 2003 limited own & country, was told by ref. Material, the write-up sales lit., & the dealer, that the memory unit could have the power adjustable pedals programmed into it for my wife & I's different settings, after 3 attempts and a module replacement by service shop, to link adj. Pedals with memory switch, now they state that our 2003 model was not equipped to control the pedals with mem. Settings?" we really thought when purchasing the Town & Country limited, that we were getting a top-notch, quality minivan for the near $40,000 we saved up to buy it!
