THE HOOD LATCH FAILED TO HOLD WHEN WE HIT A DEER THAT RAN ONTO I95. FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED; THE WINDSHIELD BROKE AS DID THE RADIATOR. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT WHEN THE HOOD LATCH FAILED TO HOLD, THE HOOD FLEW UP TOWARDS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, TOTALLY OBSCURED VISION. THIS MADE IT VERY DANGEROUS TO GET OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANE AND INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WAS MINIMAL TRAFFIC EARLY ON A SATURDAY MORNING BUT WE FEEL THIS CAR WOULD BE MUCH SAFER IF THE LATCH HELD IN THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

I AM FROM OHIO. I WAS ON A FAMILY VACATION WITH MY FAMILY OF 5 IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I WENT TO GET IN MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENERS WOULD NOT WORK WITH THE REMOTE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED I HAD NO DASH INSTRUMENTS. THE RADIO DID NOT WORK. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE RUNNING AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE DID DRIVE, ALTHOUGH WITH NO DASH INSTRUMENTS. I CALLED MY DEALER IN OHIO WHERE I LEASED THE VEHICLE. THEY ADVISED TO CALL CHRYSLER CORPORATE. CHRYSLER CORPORATE GAVE ME NAMES OF LOCAL DEALERS NEAR ME IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON WEDNESDAY AT 1PM FOR MY APPOINTMENT. THEY ADVISED ME THROUGH CHRYSLER…

I BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN. I WAS DOING 55 MPH ON A ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AND HIT A MAILBOX. THE RIGHT CORNER WAS DESTROYED. THERE WAS AN AIRBAG SENSOR BEHIND THE RIGHT LIGHT. EVEN THOUGH THE LAMP AND SENSOR WAS DESTROYED, MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK UP OR AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE BODY SHOP TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS OVER 500 REQUEST FOR THIS PART. HE TOLD THE NORTH POINT BODY SHOP THAT USUALLY MEANS IT IS DEFECTIVE. THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE ENOUGH LATE SPRING. *TR
