Replying to: momhas3girls (Mar 02, 2009 2:38 pm) My wife and I have serveral electronic issue with the 08 T&C which we bought new.   After several attempts, and two computer firmware updates we have yet to see any problems. (6 months)   See if the dealer has an availiable firmware update. Also I know the "5 Star" service departments are quick with this update. Unfortunately I do not have one nearby.   Good Luck!

Replying to: jdcoykendall (Mar 06, 2009 9:33 am) Thanks for your response!   It turns out it was a firmware issue as you describe. It just concerns me because does it need to be updated continuously? As in, will I run into a steering/brake/trans problem again if the firmware is not updated? I would hate to be driving and then all the sudden run into this problem. It's dangerous!   As for the radio, I got word from our dealership that Chrysler has received several reports of the screen and radio going out intermittently. Apparently they have built an entire new radio unit and I will be receiving one of the new ones. I just cross my fingers there will be no issues with this one as well. I can't control the rear entertainment system or use the back up camera when the radio is not properly functioning.   Teresa

First the radio would not change channels. They were able to repair that.  When placed in speed control the van surges from 1550 rpms to 2250 or so. It is constantly surging when in speed control, even on smaller hills. I had a 2000 T& C and it was a lot smoother. Has anyone else had this problem with this van? Then my wife went to start van and it would do nothing. Had it towed and found out it was anti thief switch bad that kept me from starting. Five days later still in shop waiting for this part. I wish I had kept my 2000 T&C, it is still running with 140,000 miles and no problems.
