My sister has a 2003 chrysler town and country and just got into an accident. It was a high speed rear impact and her air bag didn’t deploy and her seat collapsed completely laying flat. I am trying to find if this is a safety feature of the system failed.

Please help.

ok so my mom needs a new car because our engine is dead . the kind of car we need should meet these requirements able to seat at least 5 people , from the year 2007 and up , have trunk room , should be from toyota nissan or honda, crystler ( because my mom says she likes the way those cars drive) , and here are some cars in mind mini vans: toyota sienna,crystler town and country, and for SUVs toyota highlander,toyota seqoia, honda pilot, and chevy traverse, and for smaller cars: nissan morano, honda cr-v , and the toyota venza . I hope that that gives you an idea of what you think the best car is. i think its kind of like a vote and we will check out the cars that you guys rate the best!
hey I know that a chevy traverse is a chevy im not stupid .
thanks paul for answering we got a great answer from nada and my mom got her car and she loves it but now my dad wants one lol. but thanks.

I have a 1999 Chrysler Town and Country minivan and several weeks ago the car seat went on fire causing a complete loss to the car. The fire dept. said it appears the fire started at the power seat motor. I did a search online the very next day and it appears that the same year/make/model car has a history of car seats just going on fire and causing damage to the car and in some instances, people were burned. There has been 47 complaints filed with the NHTSA besides my complaint. Now my question is, can I sue Chrysler as a class action case for putting our lives at risk. There seems like their is a fault somewhere in the manufacturing process or equipment used on the car. Please let me know. I don’t know to what extent we can get any compensation from Chrysler and don’t know if that really matters at this point. However, I would want them to recall the vehiciles. Just think if a mother with children were in the car and the seat caught fire. We are talking peoples lives here. not a car.

We have a 2004 PT Cruiser that gets the job done, but may be getting a little too cramped for our family of 4 which will be 5 soon. I think we could even fit all the children in the back seat, but the idea of two of our children being up against the door in their car seats terrifies me if there was a side crash. I have been searching and researching vans and SUV’s, but there are so many to choose from. Most of our research have been done on the internet, but we have test driven a few Town and Country vans that I really liked. But once I got home and looked at reviews online, I was back at square one because their reviews were not that favorable. I NEVER thought it would take soooo much into upgrading a family vehicle.

here’s what we are looking for in our upgrade (also, please tell us what we may need as we may not know)

The ability to seat 5 with good cargo space for groceries in the rear as well as to store baby strollers and bags, etc for in and out of town travel.
Great safety features such as front and side air bags (an anything else im missing).
Great safety for children ages 4 and under (we have a 3 yr old, a 17 mo old and new baby due soon)
if van, at least one (electronic?) sliding door
if suv or crossover, easy to get 3 small children in and out especially when my husband’s not around
I dont really care about dvd entertainment etc as that can easily be upgraded after sale for less.

Ok I think thats it. if I’ve missed anything, just let me know!
Thanks everyone so far. My mentioned the Ford Flex as well. So we’ll have to look into that one as well. Also it really doesn’t matter too much about how the outside looks or if the inside has a lot of perks. Just as long as it’s safe for our family with good storage room for groceries and baby things!

I have a ’99 Chrysler Town and Country and I can get a used air bag module for when the dealer wants to charge 0. Do I have the risk of setting off the airbags? What steps should I take to take care of it? Will I need to reset anything on my computer after I replace the module?

The dealership said it was the module after the car would not start. The engine started to turn over then stopped. Now all I get is clicking. We have had problems with door locks, dash illumination, gauges not functioning, ABS error codes, Engine light error cordes, etc. prior to the starting failure so if you think that it’s something else then let me know that too.
Battery checks OK and is 3 months old.
Alternator was checked 3 months ago and checked OK.
The car could not be jump started.

My husband and I have been looking around for a new van and we have seen a few that we like:
1. Chrysler town and country
2. Nissan quest
3. Honda Odysses
I love all of these vans but I really need to know which van has the most room and is most booster/car seat friendly. I have 4 kids. My 7-year-old twins ride in car seats. My 9-year-old and 11-year-old ride in high back booster seats. I need a van that my kids feel safe and comfortable in. I also need it so that I can easily install and uninstall the car seats and booster seats. Room is also a big factor for me. We have 4 car/booster seats in the van so I need to make sure we have a lot of room: the seats are going to be in the van for a long time.
thanks so much for your help!

Hi, I just got a new Chrysler Town and Country minivan.
I have 2 month old twins, and a 2 year old.
What would be the best safest way to place their car seats?
