Owners have filed 75 complaints
about the 1995 Chrysler Town AND Country with NHTSA between 1995 and 2016.
The largest single group is the transmission & drivetrain.
Across this model's run it ranks 23 of 24 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 5
Against the median year of the Chrysler Town AND Country. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 83
16% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 19
11% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
How 1995 compares with every other Chrysler Town AND Country
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.
25,000 – 49,999 miles
111.1%
75,000 – 99,999 miles
111.1%
100,000 – 149,999 miles
777.8%
When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 1995 Chrysler Town AND Country
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous

MY 1995 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LAST 6 VIN DIGITS [XXX] HAS A PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY SAFETY RECALL 818. CHRYSLER, HOWEVER, IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DISCREPANCY OR EVEN, IN MY OPINION, TO SERIOUSLY EVALUATE MY CONCERN ABOUT INADVERTENT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. . CHRYSLER MAINTAINS THAT THE DEFECT I HAVE IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL. I MAINTAIN THAT THE RECALL PROCEDURES, IF FOLLOWED, WILL PROVE THE RELATIONSHIP. WHEN I TURN ON THE REAR WIPERS THE AIRBAG CIRCUIT FUSE POPS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. REPLACING THE WIPER MOTOR HAS THE SAME RESULT - A BLOWN FUSE. THIS CONDITION IS DESCRIBED IN SAFETY BULLETIN 818 OF WHICH I CAN PROVIDE A COPY. MY READING OF SAFETY BULLETIN 818 CONVINCES ME I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN WHICH CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS. IS THERE ASSISTANCE TO BE HAD FROM THE NTSB? THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
WE OWN TWO 1995 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VEHICLES, ONE WITH ~103,000 MILES, THE OTHER WITH ~98,000 MILES. EACH SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF LEFT TIE ROD END WITHOUT WARNING WITHIN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. FORTUNATELY FOR US, EACH FAILURE OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED, RESUMING TRAVEL FROM FULL STOP. CURIOUSLY, EACH FAILURE OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER A MASSACHUSETTS SAFETY INSPECTION IN WHICH CASE TIE ROD ENDS WERE CHECKED AND PASSED INSPECTION. IN ONE CASE THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHIN FIVE MILES AND 5 HOURS OF THE INSPECTION; IN THE OTHER CASE, WITHIN 3 WEEKS AND 1000 MILES OF INSPECTION. COUPLED WITH THE LACK OF WARNING SIGNALS TO OWNER/OPERATOR, EACH OF THESE SUDDEN FAILURES COULLD HAVE PROVEN FATAL TO THE DRIVERS AND OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR AS AS WELL AS TO VEHICLES IN PROXIMITY. THE FACT THAT RECENT SAFETY INSPECTIONS AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS DID NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM INDICATES THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNPREDICTABLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DRIVER OF THE SECOND CAR TO EXPERIENCE FAILURE IS A FORMER MECHANIC, AND WAS ALERT TO TIE ROD END PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE FIRST VEHICLE AND THE FACT THAT THE TWO VEHICLES WERE AGING IN SIMILAR WAYS. POLICE WERE INVOLVED IN THE SECOND INCIDENT BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. IN EACH SITUATION, THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIRS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SEVERE ENGINE OVERHEATING BECAUSE COOLING FAN FELL OFF OF THE SHAFT OF THE ELECTRIC FAN MOTOR. TERRIBLE DESIGN - LARGE DIAMETER FAN IS BASICALLY HELD IN PLACE BY A SINGLE 1/4-INCH NUT. NEITHER THE FAN NOR THE FAN MOTOR ARE STOCKED AS REPLACEABLE PARTS. ONE MUST PURCHASE THE ENTIRE FAN/MOTOR/SHROUD ASSEMBLY, FOR A LITTLE OVER $400, PLUS INSTALLATION! THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN - THREE DIFFERENT TIMES! A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR, THE FAN SEPARATED FROM THE FAN MOTOR ONCE AGAIN, CAUSING OVERHEATING. THE SHOP THAT INSTALLED THE ORIGINAL UNIT STOOD BEHIND HIS WARRANTY, AND REPLACED THE FAN/MOTOR/SHROUD ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. ANOTHER TIME, WHILE WE WERE ON A TRIP, THE FAN CAME OFF A GAIN, BUT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND THE NUT THAT HAD DROPPED OFF, AND REPLACED IT. SOMETIME LATER, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND HELD IT IN PLACE WITH EPOXY. IT'S STILL GOING STRONG!
