When starting vehicle the radio did not come on, but the air bag light came on and stayed on. However, and the dash board lights did not come on. Had to restart the vehicle in order to get the radio to work, the air bag light to go off, and the dashboard lights to register. This happened on June 2, 2005.

Sub frame of van has cracked causing severe vibration. All motor mounts failed. My 1990 had similar problem. Van is barley drivable and unsaleable. Throw in two complete ac systems, two multi-function switches(looks like #3 is linings up), a clockspring(recall) and top it off with horrible service. Loyalty should be a twp way street!!

This van was purchased off lease with 18000 miles and less than 1 year old. After 1 year the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage (36000). The wipers would go on and off at will. The dealer replaced the battery for $100. The problem continued and eventually lights started to turn on in the interior of the vehicle on their own. The cruise control worked intermittantly. The air bag light came on intermittantly. The body control module was replaced. We didn't leave the dealership and the problem started again. The dealer ordered another body control module. It has been 3 and one half years and now the problems are starting again. The vehicle has stalled on several occassions. The horn does not work. The cruise control does not work. The air bag light is on continuously now. We do not have the $1000 dollars for replacement of the air bag. We understand that there are others with this same problem. Is NHTSA going to make chrystler right these electrical problems. I have read about engine fires due to electrical shorts. It certainly appears that we are not the only ones experiencing electrical problems with our minivan.

Door lock failures: Repeated failures required new mechanisms, also affected the fuel tank door. Transmission failure: Occurred in parking lot fortunately. Required $2200 in repair. Dealer (hershberger motors in woodburn, or) failed to correctly seal the transmission. When returned to dealer for this, they broke the right bearing hub, another $400 to repair. Body control module failure: Wipers stopped working - an absolute necessity in Oregon! BCM repaired by sending out existing unit by dealer (Town & Country Chrysler, milwaukie, or). Did not correct problem ($450 repair costs). Presently in for correcitve action. Signed - unhappy customer.

Since approximately 10/01/99, while car is operated, airbag, cruise control, and other electric features controlled via wiring located in the steering column become inoperable, indicated by the trouble lights which come on, on dashboard. For about the past one year the airbags and cruise control have continuously been inactive/inoperable whenever the car is being operated. There appears to be a defect in the steering column wiring system, and recently heard of many other similar failures, ones the NHTSA is even aware of, although I can find no report of it on this web site in either recalls or complaints. I'm very frustrated and anxious about this because I cannot afford to have all this re-wiring work done, but feel Plymouth should be responsible for a functioning airbag system at least.

Complete failure of all dashboard gauges. Chrysler and dealer unwilling to admit this is a wide spread problem with their mini-vans.

Various parts on the dashboard work intermittently, currently, engine stalled, and then it would start again. Consumer felt this was an electrical problem, and someone could be hurt.

Windshield wipers go off for no apparent reason. Initially thought due to turn signal being engaged, but it doesn't matter. Dome lights flicker in front when doors open and then go out for a lengthy time.

Reported steering problem in Jul 98. Dealer said they were unable to duplicate failure. Dealer was cutter Chrysler Jeep of waipahu. It has been a problem since purchasing the vehicle and seems to be getting worse. Now the steering is locking-up (intermittently) when I go over a speed bump, causing loss of steering control. The windshield wiper problem was corrected by the same dealer on 24 Jul 98 as a malfunctioned switch that was on recall and they replaced it as a goodwill repair because vehicle was out of warranty by mileage only. It once agian is failing intermittently. Both of these I feel are traffic safety concerns that the manufacturer should research and correct immediately. The power distribution center I believe is intermittently shorting out and causing many small electrical problems like radio works, then doesn't, lights go on by themselves, and things like that. Once again I feel that if left uncorrected this may also pose a potential traffic safety issue. All three failures I feel are based on vehicle production line problems that may be affecting many vehicles in the same manner. Please advise on what to do. Thank you for your time and effort on my issues and concerns. Sincerely, louis C. martinez.
