MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN WITH 35K MILES WILL UNEXPECTEDLY HAVE THE HORN GO ON, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS GO ON, LIGHTS FLASH, WASHER FLUID SQUIRT OUT IN BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK WINDOW.

THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO PULL THE FUSE OR DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING NAD 2 TIMES WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY T…

Owner report 10360006 · 2010-10-11 (October 11, 2010)
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DOING A FEW CYCLES OCCASIONALLY WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. WE COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY OR START FROM A STOP SIGN. IT PROGRESSED UNTIL MANY SYSTEMS:SPEEDOMETER, AND OTHER GAUGES SHUT DOWN AND COME BACK ON, THE WARNING CHIME SOUNDS. THE DEALER IN ELKGROVE DODGE HAD ON OF ITS SERVICE PEOPLE DRIVE IT HOME AND HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND HAVE STILL NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND CONNECTING A FEW DOTS, I WONDER IF THERE IS…

THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE DOOR SENSORS. THE MOST RECENT ISSUES HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE KEY IN THE IGNITION ALARM STARTED BEEPING (WHILE DRIVING WITH THE KEY IN), THE RADIO WENT TO 12:00 THEN RESET IT BACK TO THE CORRECT TIME. THIS LASTED A…
