What 1995 Chrysler Town and Country owners say
Transmission & drivetrain
I left walgreens one evening and couldn't get the transmission from park to reverse until I forced it. A few days later, I was leaving in the morning to take the kids to school (that is what you do when you own a minivan). I put the car into drive and nothing happened. No forward movement. I tried reverse. Nothing. Had it towed to repair shop. Transmission needed rebuilding. This is the second time its been rebuilt.
While driving 15 MPH, the consumer heard a loud noise coming from underneath the hood, then the vehicle stalled and the power steering and brakes locked up. The consumer managed to pull over and had the vehicle towed. There is a hole in the vehicle's transmission.
Body & structure
NHTSA# 95-I-001-001 vehicle description: light duty passenger minivans without remote release. This is not a safety recall. There has been no determination that a safety defect exists with the minivan latches. Chrysler is conducting a service campaign to replace the liftgate latch assembly of the affected minivans. In a collision, the rear liftgate latch assembly could open. Consumer has the same problem.
At the bottom hinge where it mounts to the body's sheet metal is fatigued and cracked. Door remains unlatched, and consumer has a piece of rope keeping it tied together. If door closes all the way it will become unlatched while driving. Chrysler says there's nothing they can do.
Engine & cooling
While driving 15 MPH, the consumer heard a loud noise coming from underneath the hood, then the vehicle stalled and the power steering and brakes locked up. The consumer managed to pull over and had the vehicle towed. There is a hole in the vehicle's transmission.
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. …
