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.

My 2 year old son exited the van on the passenger side, through power sliding door. The door closed on his hand and did not retract automatically. We reached out to Chrysler who sent an inspector. The inspector tested the door with a folded terry cloth. I provided him with a doll, which has a hand the same size and shape of a child's. the passenger door closed completely on the doll hand. The drivers side door opened automatically. So there existed a difference between the two doors. Chrysler stated they believe there is nothing wrong with the van. We took the van to the dealership, they also stated the door closes normally. We reached out to the local news station wftv who agreed to assist because the passenger side door still closed on the doll hand, while the driver side door did not. The van was taken to zembower's auto center where immediate testing revealed the car needed a new battery. The comment was made, how is Chrysler able to diagnose a potential electrical issue without first checking the electrical system to be sure its operating normally. I took the van to the dealership who then agreed, the van does need a new battery. We took the van back to zembowers for a battery replacement. Upon replacement the passenger door now seems to be operating normally. So the issue still remains, why is it that when the battery is in need of replacement in the van, that the passenger power door is less sensitive than the drivers side, allowing it to close on hands of children" and it should be noted that no service engine lights were illuminated, so no indication was given as to the van needing a new battery. So, based on this experience, are we to assume that anytime the van battery is depleted, even before giving any indication through the service engine lights, that the passenger side power door will become insensitive" this issue remains unresolved.
