My future Father-in-law is the Manager/DM, at least I think, for the MME....Ron at the Fargo location.

on topic tho, my job is listed in my sig: currently a Chrysler Technician.

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 emissions

Yes, 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 more

All 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.
