CarComplaints.com Notes: What the heck happened here? A year after getting our "seal of pretty good" for the 2004, Chrysler turns around and delivers this crapwagon.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

November cold morning van back brake driver side locked up moved van back and forward wheel freed up. December on cold morning back brake locked up. Again moved van back and forward wheel freed up. June 9 2006 van went into a 30 mph curve brakes were applied but van speed increased sending van into spin and ran into trees. Van did 360 degree spin and stopped then airbags deployed after van stopped. Injuries were a broken left wrist and broken breast bone a broken neck at first vertebrae and broken middle back bone. Many bruises on breast and waist and head and driver and bruised legs from airbag. Van was totaled.
I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Town and country in April of 2005 with only 265 miles on it. The engine shut off in may of 2005 and continues to do so even though the dealer has replaced the PCM. The dealer is saying they are unable to repair the car because they can not duplicate the problem or get code readings from their computers. My vehicle's passenger air bag light keeps coming on also.
This is not a complaint - but a concern. I was recently involved in a accident in my 2005 chry. T&C. I was hit very hard in the left front corner (enough to total the vehicle) and neither the front or side air bag deployed.
I had an accident at 45 mph, and the air bags did not deploy. Chrysler is saying there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Phone intervew update (Oct 25, 05): Verified that there were no fatalities. T-boned another vehicle at the rear quarter panel at 45 mph and none of the air bag deployed.

Purchased 2005 Chrysler Town and country mini van..with less then 800 miles airbag lite kept coming on off and on.sometime staying on for long periods of time..took to dealer and dealer stated a clock spring in steering wheel was bad, they said parts were on order and van was ok to drive, , I said will airbags work if I am in an accident, , dealer said prob not, ,after a little arguing I got a loaner car, vehicle is still at the dealer.
Upon merging back onto the highway consumer over corrected the steering wheel. To rectify this problem the consumer depressed the brake pedal and turned into the skid. The brakes locked up and the truck crashed into a mountain head on, then rolled over twice. None of the trucks air bags deployed upon impact. The truck sustained severe frontal damage and the windows busted out, except for the front windshield, and the driver and passenger side window. The driver didn't sustain any injuries. The cause of the brakes locking up and the non deployment of the air bag has yet to be determined.
