GRINDING COMING FROM REAR WHEELS. ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE WHEEL ON PASSENGER SIDE 1 LUG NUT BROKE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE BY DRILLING IT OUT, BUT CLAIMED COULDN'T BECAUSE HEAT HAD BEEN APPLIED. I NEVER TOOK IT ANYWHERE NOR APPLIED HEAT. TOOK IT SOME WHERE TO HAVE TAKEN OFF. TURNS OUT I HAD TO REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. FUNNY HOW THERES A HUB ISSUE ON SOME TOWN AND COUNTRY BUT NOT MINE. THEY DIDN'T THINK THE LUG NUT WAS A DEFECT. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BREAK WHERE THE COVER OF THE LUG NOT TEARS OFF. THEN THE SIDES OF THE LUG BREAK OFF LEAVING THE BASE OF THE LUG. AFTER DRIVING THE VAN PRIOR TO REPLACEMENT OF PARTS YOU COULD FEEL THE HEAT COMING OFF OF THE WHEELS. POSSIBLY, COULD THAT HAVE BEEN THE HEAT THAT CAUSED THE LUG NOT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE BEEN DRILLED OUT LIKE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED. AFTER SEVERAL SEARCHES OF THE INTERNET I HAVE SEEN THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE UNHAPPY WITH ALL OF THE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CHRYSLER PRODUCT OR THE DEALERSHIPS SELLING THEM.

BLIND SPOT RIGHT SIDE RADAR (SAFETY FEATURE) FAILED AFTER 41 MONTHS. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. INSPECTED FAILED PART AND FOUND A BULGE ON EDGE OF THE PLASTIC CONTAINER. OPENED THE DEVICE AND FOUND METAL CORROSION ON AND IN THE METAL CASE. IT APPEARS THAT THE WATER SEAL EITHER BROKE OR WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO STOP WATER LEAKAGE. METAL CORROSION MATERIAL WAS ON THE PRINT CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH I BELIEVE CASED THE FAILURE.

WARNING LIGHTS ON BOTH MIRRORS FOR BLIND SPOT DETECTION STAY ON ALWAYS - WITH THE DING DING DING SOUNDS RINGING ON AND OFF - WEATHER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING STILL PARKED, IF THE CAR IS RUNNING, THE PROBLEM IS THERE. I BELIEVE THIS UNSAFE ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY A RECALL, AS IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY UNSAFE & DANGEROUS, MANY FOLKS WHOM HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME UNSAFE PROBLEM! I PAID FOR THIS FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE, TO ADD SAFETY AND NOW IT IS CAUSING JUST THE OPPOSITE, UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME, A SAFETY FEATURE FAILING ON ALL THESE CARS AND ESPECIALLY AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WITH THIS FEATURE MALFUNCTIONING, IT IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN TEXTING OR TALKING ON THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING. WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO GET A RECALL IN PLACE, DO PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE ACCIDENTS OR DIE TO GET A PROBLEM RECALLED, HOW IS IT DECIDED.
