Took 10 days to get van back as the dealer was so backed up in auto repairs. I thought it was the alternator but was only a dead cell in my battery. Battery was replaced just one yr ago so this let me to think other. No rebate on old battery as bought in another state so had to pay whole amount to replace.

1500 mi Month-old van failed to start in the morning due apparently to weak battery. Clipped on my motorcycle battery trickle charger for a few hours. Van started fine. Had dealer check systems. Found no problem, dealer reset low voltage fault. 
17000 mi Tire pressure monitoring system indicated false low tire pressure. Dealer reset fault. 
12000 mi Intermittent wipers would shut off. The problem was sporadic snd was not happening when taken in to the dealer. They said the info was not stored and could not find the cause. Suggestion was to take it in while it was happening.

67000 mi

US $250
Replaced leaking under body A/C-Heater line bundle. Cost estimate was $900. Dealer originally said Chrysler would not cover this repair. I insisted that they ask since I had had earlier A/C problems (see prior post) and Chrysler did agree to cover subject to owner $250 deductible. If I hadn't pushed this I would have been stuck with the whole bill! 
6000 mi The buttons that open the passenger side slider door weren't working. The door could only be opened by pulling the handle, then the electric slide function did the rest. The dealer said it ended up being a part and a programming issue. 
51500 mi The cold weather has revealed that 4 of the wires in the rear window defroster are not functioning. 
21000 mi As I previously reported, 4 grids in rear window defroster were dead. Entire window, with grids, was replaced by dealer. I assume it works ok now, but weather has been such that no defogging has been necessary.

22940 mi

C $310
Rear condenser failure which I found is a common problem because of poor engineering. The part is situated behind the rear wheel well and salt is thrown on the part during the winter, causing it to corrode prematurely. The same problem will happen again in about three years time, for a cost 0f $800.00 each time. I had them cut the front line leading to the rear A/C and then cap the front lines. Had it recharged and the front A/C works fine, but no A/C for the rear. Chrysler would not cover the cost. 
60700 mi

US $400
Driver side power window failure. Very poor design. The entire door assembly and guts needed to be removed and I do mean 100%. the window is wedged in the up position. Parts to fix are only $55 but labor is expected at ~3 hours for a professional.
