Possible AWD Problem by tundra6
Aug 07, 2007 (10:08 am)
Reply
We purchased a 2002 T&C LXi AWD roughly 30 days ago, our 3rd from Chrysler.When you get close to a full turn [left or right] situation, while moving, the front wheels seem to drag. It acts like an AWD unit is not correctly clutching the front wheels. I have changed the front units fluid out. I thought it worked but it now only does it if its on the road for an hour ot more, heat related. The van has 93,000 and is in great shape. Anyone else had this problem ?

This is a follow-up to post 2124, which was a follow-up to 2119...
 
Just changed the oil and noticed that the tightened tranny cooler lines to the radiator are still doing their job. When they were tightened last March I wiped everything dry, and all connections are still dry. Thanks, again, Hayneldan. That was indeed the simple solution.

Sounds similar to what my 2002 has been doing. Only happens when I'm going slow and have my wheels turned like pulling in/out of a parking slot or into a parking lot not on the open road. My mechanic says that it is the power steering fluid cooler. Needs to be replaced. He also says the Chrysler knows that this is a problem for these cars but they have not issued a recall on it only notices/alerts. Mine is in the shop right now to fix it. About a $300.00 issue

I had so many problems with my town/country with 12,000 miles on it. I couldn't get help from the Corp customer service the dealer wouldn't help service department had the car for six times/27 days total. I tried to work something for another car and the dealerattempted to fleece my pockets. I had to go to arbitration to get a service tech to show up with a lawyer. I lost because they said it was an autostarter installed by the dealer. I never heard of a fuel pump going down because of an autostarter. I asked the tech why did it take me to come here for you to hear my complaint and never said a word. If you want to my opinion there it is. buy a Honda and if your buy American go GM.

my 99 T/C limited had same issue, for about 2years, The RESOLUTION, I kid you not, is the Instrumentation Cluster panel. A $400 fix. I did it myself, but you'll need the dealer to re-program the settings with their scanner. My mechanic works for a Chrysler dealer and did it for me.
 
Many tows to the dealer, just to have it start, I changed Battery, Starter, PCM-(the main computer ) and the dealer wanted to change the BCM-Body Control Module.
 
My Starting problems have not surfaced, since I replaced the Cluster board. Im telling Everyone with similiar starting problems it's the Cluster Board. I'm Shocked that Chrysler has not caught on this.

01 DGC EX Serpentine Belt Replacement by masterpaul1

Hi All, we are at 96K and I would like to replace the serpentine belt at 100K. (It's not making any noise or anything, just normal wear and tear.) How easy is it to replace the built on the 3.8L engine? From looking under the hood, looks like I might have to take some things off in order to get to it. Thanks in advance.

Lots of T&C Issues... by brookieegee

I have a 2007 Chrysler T&C Touring Limited. I just hit the 16K mark.
 
In the year we've hadit, we've had to replace 3 tires (all on the front end) because of splitting at the seams. Not covered under warranty.
 
It has completely died on me twice, for no reason - so dead the power door locks won't work. They charge the battery so I can get to the dealership and then service dept says they can't replicate the problem.
 
Everytime we fill the tank with gas, it sputters as though its going to die and then recovers miracuulously.
 
This week, our breaks went from perfectly fine, to shaking when we hit the brakes, then ultimately within 36 hours, grinding, It even made the grinding noise while not braking. I took into the dealership and was told I must "drive with 2 feet". I had an Expedition for 5 years, 70K miles and only one break job. I have an 02 Mazda, 153K miles and 2 brake jobs. I had to pay to replace my rotors, pads - all of it. It just doesn't seem right and I'm about to ttake the dealership to court.
 
We have lots of little issues as well, like every once in a while the sliding doors won't open automatically or otherwise. Both sets of headphones have broken in the same exact place. Just goes on and on.
 
Is anyone else havng the same problems?? If so- please let me know!!

2008 T & C by dejah

I recently purchased this vehicle, I love but would like to know if anyone has had similar problems. Such as doors not shutting, horn sticking (how embarracing) it also seems like the transmission hesitates at times. And I think lastly the climate control in the back does not always work. Any suggestions or comments?

2001 Town and Country - Intermediate Electrical Issues by dhaywood
Apr 11, 2008 (7:57 pm)

We have had the following issues with our Town and Country
 
1. When we turn on the vehicle the radio, wiper, power windows, and ac/heater do not turn on, but the van runs normal otherwise. Then if we turn it off and back on right away they work.
2. Sometime (more often then not lately) when all the above things are working while driving the radio (radio, CD, tape) will suddenly go to a buzzing noise and will not work again until the van has been off for a least an hour.
3. NOW- tonight my husband saw flashing lights outside our window. When he went out to check it out our light were flashing quickly on our radio was turning on and off. The fuse box was also ticking. The vehicle had been turned off for over an hour and there were not keys in it. We unplugged the battery for now.
 
HELP!!!
