Ryan...this is kinda off topic but do you know of any recalls out for 2002 (believe) town and country vans? My mom's van has been a nonstop problem since we bought it in 2002/3 whatever year it is and they always tell us nothings wrong when we bring it in but that's far from the case...What problems has she encountered? There are always problems with many different vehicles (intake mani leaks GMs, Ford DPFE sensors/switches, Toyota oil slugging, Chrysler electrical) that are just considered wear and tear. A recall only happens if there are:
Large number of vehicles with the problem
Production problems
Potential safety
Potential emissionsYes, they have many recalls for that vehcile, but if the vehicle makes the 3/36 then the manufacture considers that it is a good vehcile and shouldn't have any problems....
I can list quite a few problems with those:
Front swaybar bushings (clunking noise)
Front swaybar links (clunking noise)
Rack-n-pinions (leaks)
Tie rods (both inner and outer)
Water pumps (leaking at weap holes)
Transmission failure
and many moreAll of those problems are considered wear and tear and are usually not even covered under warranty. The Rack and Tranny issues are usually backed up with the defense of not changing the fluid enough. We recommend flushing transmission fluids every 30K and 24K for PS systems. Suspension parts are always wear and tear unless they discover a problem (ball joints on Durango/Dakotas, Steering knuckles on Durangos.
Let me know what problems there are and I can help you know if they are common or not.

Well some of it is just stupid stuff that probably wouldn't get covered anyways BUT ...since the first year she had it the brakes have been noisey as hell, especially in winter. No amount of lube or anything on our part has helped and every time we take it in they say there is nothing wrong or rubbing or anything. The struts are bad, the motors in the doors have broken twice now, we got one fixed under warranty and now it's really flakey again. The rear door doesn't work all the time, the locks don't always work right from the inside, the clock spring for the airbags broke at least 5 times in the first 3 years we owned it (all were covered under warranty though). I dunno, various things, some of which I can't remember right now.
