2005 Chrysler Town AND Country body problems

STRUCTURE:BODY

WHEN THE WEATHER IS 55 DEGREES OR COLDER MY BACK DOOR ON MY MINIVAN WILL NOT STAY UP AND OPEN. AFTER IT GOES UP IT COMES BACK DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THIS VAN HAS A HANDICAPPED LIFT FOR A MOBILITY SCOOTER IN IT FOR INSIDE THE VAN. IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE BACK DOOR TO STAY UP AND OPEN TO USE THE CONTROLS TO BRING THE LIFT IN AND OUT OF THE MINIVAN. THE BACK DOOR STAYS UP AND OPEN IN WARMER WEATHER BUT IT IMMEDIATELY COMES BACK DOWN AND CLOSES IN COOLER WEATHER. I PURCHASED THE MINIVAN WITH THE LIFT AND SCOOTER FROM A PRIVATE OWNER 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. THEY USED THE MINIVAN AND LIFT IN ONLY WARMER WEATHER. HOW DO I GET THE BACK DOOR TO STAY UP AND OPEN SO I CAN USE THE LIFT FOR MY SCOOTER ALL YEAR AROUND? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? THE MINIVAN WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION ON FLAT ASPHALT PAVEMENT AND THE MINIVAN WAS TURNED OFF IN ALL INCIDENTS. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO OF THE BACKDOOR OR LIFT BUT I CAN TAKE PICTURES IF NEEDED.

HI, I WAS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS RUST THOUGH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENDER WELLS IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRES. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON MANY OTHER MINIVANS ON THE ROAD AND BELIEVE IT TO BE A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURE. PIECES OF THE VAN FELL OFF , THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THESE VANS AGE.. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ISSUED?

SINCE ABOUT MARCH OF THIS YEAR, OUR VAN HEADLAMPS WILL NOT TURN ON WITH THE SWITCH. IT TAKES PLAYING WITH THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY GO ON. RECENTLY THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OFF AS WE ARE DRIVING, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PLAY WITH THE SWITCH TO GET THE LIGHTS TO GO ON. ALSO AS WE PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE DASH LIGHTS WILL GO ON BY THEMSELVES. CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR OFTEN AS IF THERE IS A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. WE TOOK THE BATTERY TO THE LOCATION WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT AND THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM, AND BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM PASSED ALL TEST. IN OTHER INCIDENTS WHICH MAY OR NOT BE RELATED OUR POWER SLIDING DOORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE LEFT SIDE DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL, AND THE RIGHT SIDE CLOSES AND OPENS WHEN THE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED. IT TAKES TWO TRIES BEFORE IT LOCKS PROPERLY. WHEN WE TAKE THE VAN TO THE LOCAL DEALER THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THESE ISSUES, AND HAVE BEEN QUOTED $300-600 TO REPAIR EACH INCIDENTS. WE APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE REGARDING THESE ISSUES.

THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK ACTUATOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STOPPED UNLOCKING THAT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOCKS. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE ACTUATOR BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN THEN A FEW DAYS LATER AGAIN STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER WE HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN MID 2012. AT THAT TIME, A MECHANIC REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR WHICH SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT RECURRED THIS AUGUST. AT ALL TIMES, EVEN WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR DID NOT FUNCTION, THE LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTION ON THE REMOTE HAS ALWAYS WORKED. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER CANNOT UNLOCK THE PASSENGERS' DOORS.

I WAS INFORMED TODAY BY THE MECHANIC AT MONROE MUFFLER THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PUT HIS FINGERS THROUGH THE FRAME. THERE ARE ACTUALLY LARGE HOLES THROUGH THE FRAME. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE HOLES ON THE FRAME (REAR RIGHT SIDE). THE LEFT REAR FRAME WAS NEARLY AS BAD. WHEN TOYOTA HAD A FRAME RUST/ROT ISSUE ON THE TACOMA AND THE TUNDRA, TOYOTA EITHER REPLACED THE FRAME OR BOUGHT BACK THE VEHICLE AT 1 1/2 TIMES THE KBB RETAIL VALUE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I WAS PLANNING ON DRIVING THIS ANOTHER FEW YEARS, HOWEVER IT WON'T PASS NYS INSPECTION WITH THE FRAME RUST THROUGH. WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?

POWER LOCKS ON THE BACK SLIDING DOORS DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO PULL THE LOCK UP VERY HARD FROM ONE SIDE AS I PULL ON THE HANDLE ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. IF THEIR WAS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL. I WAS LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND THEIR ARE PAGES OF COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING AT 35MPH, THEN I SLOWED DOWN TO 20MPH TO CROSS OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS. AS I WAS CROSSING THE TRACKS, THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED, THEN CLOSED. (THE DOORS ARE REMOTE CONTROL DOORS.) THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. I WAS TALKING TO A FEW PEOPLE ABOUT THIS SITUATION, TO COME TO FIND OUT, THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS CONTINUE TO FAIL AND NEED TO REPLACE ELECTRICAL UNIT. HAVE REPLACED 2 TIMES ON BOTH SIDES. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK BY EITHER KEYLESS ENTRY OR BY MANUALLY PUSHING BUTTON. MAKES GETTING INTO VEHICLE WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR.

AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30PM ON JUNE 29, 2012, OUR 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT WE PURCHASED ON JUNE 11, 2012 FROM A DEALERSHIP WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. UPON INVESTIGATING, WE FOUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD OF THE MINIVAN WAS SHATTERED AND HAD EXPLODED OUT. ASSUMING IT WAS VANDALISM, WE NOTIFIED POLICE TO FILE A REPORT, BUT THE POLICE WOULD NOT FILE A REPORT BECAUSE THEY WERE CERTAIN THE WINDOW BLOWING OUT HAD BEEN CAUSED BY PRESSURE CHANGE DUE TO TEMPERATURE. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON JUNE 29 WAS 94 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT IN NORTHEAST OHIO. THE VAN WAS PARKED IN THE SHADE ALL DAY UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM, WHEN I DROVE IT WITH THE FRONT WINDOWS DOWN, THEREBY CAUSING THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE TO COOL TO MATCH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, WHICH WAS 75 DEGREES F AT THAT TIME. AT ABOUT 9PM, I PARKED THE MINIVAN IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE WINDOWS UP AND AT AROUND 11:30, THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT 69 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF VANDALISM OR BREAK-IN. WE BEGUN INVESTIGATING IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE HEARD THE EXPLOSION OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE PRIMARY HOLE IN THE WINDOW WAS IN THE UPPER RIGHT REGION, WITH THE ENTIRETY OF THE PANE SHATTERED AND PIECES WERE STILL IN PLACE THOUGH SHATTERED. THE EDGES OF THE ENTIRE WINDOW WERE BULGING, AS IF SOME KIND OF PRESSURE HAD FORCED THE GLASS OUTWARD. THERE WAS SMALL GLASS FRAGMENTS ALL OVER THE DRIVEWAY AND REAR STORAGE, INCLUDING SOME IN THE CHILD SEATS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED A LEAK IN THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. WE INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS RAIN WATER BUT AFTER A CONTINUED CONSTANT LEAK WE REALIZED IT WAS THE SIR CONDITIONER. OTHER YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

POWER LOCKS QUIT WORKING. VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WAS LOCKED UP WHEN PRESSING THE REMOTE (HORN BEEPS, LIGHTS FLASH) BUT LOCKS DON'T LOCK. POWER DOORS ALSO QUIT WORKING CAUSING POTENTIAL PINCH-POINTS. WHEN THE DOORS ACT UP AND BOUNCE BACK OPEN, THEY SOMETIMES TRY TO RE-CLOSE BUT THE INTERFERENCE SENSOR DOESN'T STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ON A BODY PART. CAN TEMPORARILY MAKE IT BETTER BY REMOVING AND REPLACING THE IOD FUSE, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS A SHORT TIME LATER. PROBLEM BEGAN RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. DEALER WANTS 300-800 TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT EITHER COMPONENT WILL POSITIVELY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NO POSITIVE CORRECTIVE ACTION.

I NOTICED SOME MINOR RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BETWEEN THE SLIDING DOOR AND THE FRONT DOOR ABOUT 1 - 2 YEARS AGO, EARLIER THIS YEAR AROUND MAY IT WAS MORE NOTICEABLE AND HAD PROGRESSED. IN SEPTEMBER 2011 I NOTICED A HOLE BEGINNING AND IN OCTOBER I STARTED POKING AROUND AND REMOVED ABOUT A 8 INCH BY 3 INCH PIECE OF COMPLETELY RUSTED METAL (IT CRUMBLED). IT WAS WET ON THE INSIDE, IT HASN'T RAINED IN 4 TO 5 DAYS, PLUS IT APPEARS THAT THE INSIDE IS SEALED, SO HOW COULD WATER GET IN? UPON REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE, I SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF DUE TO CRACKED WELDS WHERE WATER RUNS DOWN BEHIND THE SUPPORTS AND ENTERS THIS CAVITY. WHAT A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT THAT THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE VEHICLE HAS NO RUST AND HAS BEEN OTHERWISE A GOOD CAR, BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE RUSTED WELDS ARE NOT ONLY CAUSING RUST BUT THEY ARE A SAFETY CONCERN!

ROOF WELDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VAN ABOVE SLIDING DOORS ARE CRACKED! MAJOR STRUCTURAL HAZARD. IT'S ALSO ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE INNER BODY PANELS AND IS RUNNING DOWN INSIDE THE WINDOW SUPPORTS/PILLARS BETWEEN THE DOORS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ROCKER PANELS (WHICH ARE NOW RUSTING THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT). IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON THESE VANS. HTTP://FORUM.CHRYSLERMINIVAN.NET/SHOWTHREAD.PHP/18635-SMALL-CRACK-IN-THE-ROOF CHRYSLER ALSO KNOWS ABOUT IT, AND IT TURNS OUT MOST OF THE VANS WITH THE ISSUE WERE MADE IN THE SAME PLANT, INCLUDING MINE! HERE IS A DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUE WITH PICTURES: HTTP://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/DODGE-CARAVAN/87668-2001-TO-2006-GRAND-CARAVAN-ROOF-CRACK-AT-SEAMS.HTML . ALL VEHICLES WITH A VIN WITH THE 12TH DIGIT OF R, WHICH WERE MADE IN THE WINDSOR PLANT HAVE THIS ISSUE. I HAD BROUGHT THE RUST TO THE ATTENTION OF A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS SALT CORROSION AND NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN OUTER BODY PANEL. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ISSUE WAS ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF THESE ROOF CRACKS, AND THE RUST WAS FROM THE INSIDE OUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE WATER RUNNING DOWN INTO THE ROCKERS. THIS IS AFFECTING THE STRUCTURAL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE BARELY OVER 5 YEARS OLD (I HAD NOTICED THE ROCKER RUST AT THE 3 YEAR MARK).

FRONT HOOD EDGE HAS STARTED TO BUBBLE UP WITH RUST (2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN) MY 2001 DODGE CARAVAN HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IS RUSTED THROUGH. I SEE THIS CONDITION ON OTHER CHRYSLER VANS IN THIS AREA (MANY VANS). I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST $1071.85 TO REPAIR. THERE IS NO DAMAGE ON THE EXTERNAL HOOD THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS (DENTS, PAINT NICKS, ETC.). I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD "I HAVE NO RECOURSE" BUT TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED.
