NHTSA Complaint #10668245 — 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

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. *TR
