I had taken the vehicle for repair on two occasions due to turn signals malfunctioning, power windows malfunctioning, and back sliding doors malfunctioning. On the first occasion malfunctions could not be enacted. On second occasion, a switch was replaced. On june 28, 2006 van was hit in rear pushed into another car and thrown into an 18 wheeler traveling 60 miles per hour and no airbags deployed.
1) 2004 chrysler town and country minivan was the third car in a six car crash. It was stopped at a light behind other vehicles and in front of a red mercedes when a nissan sedan slammed into the rear of the line of cars without ever applying its brakes. 2) a & b. Front driver and passenger airbags failed to deploy when the t&c slammed into the cadillac immediately in front of it sending that car into the two cars further up the line. C.
I got the town and country chrysler 2004, and the air bag lights started to blink on and off after a year, in 2005 the lights were permanently on. I had a crash in 2009 not big enough to make the air bag work anyway the air bags red light were on, then the dealer gave the data of how long the air bag were not working, it seems that it had the same problem as the air bags recall 1998/2002. I had several other problems in fixing this car but I do want to know if the 2004 made is included in the recall.
About 3 min after filling up vehicle stalled after pulling out of station. Power steering failed and could not move out of lane. Took a couple of tries to restart and move to safety. Second time this problem has happened. This will cause an accident!!!
