Sounds real wierd.My wife is disabled and we bought the van because of the roomy interior.We have been without our van for 3 wks now and the wait looks longer yet.Any advice appreciated. jerry I am new at this;recently purchased a chrysler town &country 2011.The odo is at 880km and what started out as a transmission adjustment has now turned into a nightmare.The techs at the dealership are unable to repair the transmission and have now ordered a transmission from (who knows where)I was told that because of this models “newness” they;the dealership does not have much knowledge about this model.The dealership tells me that in order to replace the tranny they will have to use a re-manufactured number of the tranny as the new tranny numbers are different?

The only people who feel there is nothing wrong with this engine is the dealer I take the truck to, Holiday Ford in Peterborough and the used vehicle lot where I bought it, Earl Ireland of Peterborough. There are several problems with this engine and every unsuspecting buyer ends up spending thousands of dollars every year or so on repairs until he sells it to some other unsuspecting soal. First of all, the injectors give out without a warning and several people have been on long trips and this sometimes cost them up to $5,000.00 to repairs, next are the glow plugs, with starting problems and the dealer wants to replace them all as he claims, you might as well since they have to tear a lot of the engine parts out to get at the glow plugs, hmmm, $350.00 times 8 equals $2800.00 plus about $2,000.00 in labour, why not, it's only money and the dealer has all kinds so why would you object. Next lets try that little valve called the erc valve, something to do recirculating the exhaust and when that fails you get a big cloud of black smoke fallowing you. OPP pulled me over and made me get it towed to the dealer to be fixed. Well I'm an amature at vehicles and I keep shelling out but I feel big oh FORD should help us out. Is there any help out there for people like me who have purchased a vehicle over the 5 years that the Ontario law will protect. Hello

I leased this car when it was 3 months old. In the last 18 months the vehicle's steering has failed 6 times!. Ford has replaced the Rack + Pinion (steering) twice. They have kept the car (at my expense) for a month returning it saying nothing is wrong with it. When the steering fails (always only turning right) the car seizes up and usually stalls, but always slows down. On 2 occassions my brutal strength has not been enough to turn the car at all. The last time this occured (2 weeks ago) the steering column felt and sounded as if it were going to fall out of the car. I have offered to pay the last remaining 12 lease payments just to walk way but Ford Canada insists I pay them that plus the $13,000.00 buy out. The service mechanics at the dealership have all said that this car has an inherrant UNSAFE re-occuring problem that they can't force to happen. Ford Canada couldn't care less and are only willing to sell or lease me a brane new vehicle. The dealer has done everything they can, their hands are tied by Ford Canada. Dodge has had a similar re-occuring problem with their vehicles. They refuse to admit a problem but have replaced ALL the cars front ends.I do not want to get back in this car. It seems cheaper to park it for 12 months and pay the 7500.00 left on the lease vs paying that plus the 13,000 buy out ($20,000.00). Can ANYONE help me??? Oh, I also a=offered to take a used 2008 of equal value to drive for the last 12 months on this lease. Again, Ford flatly refused. My e mail is bentlie@shaw.ca I have a Ford Taurs x (2008).
