My gas gauge indicated I had more than 1/4 tank full. Instead, it was empty, and I ran out of gas in the middle of the freeway, in the middle of detroit's worst snow storm in 40 years, with a toddler in the back seat. I subsequently filled my car after waiting in freezing cold until an officer pulled over and helped me, and my gas gauge went to completely empty even though I then filled my tank. It stayed at empty for a day until suddenly moving to 3/4 full, and hasn't budged since. I have no idea now how much gas my tank actually has. Despite the snow storm on Sunday when the incident occurred, the temps were not anything extraordinarily cold for a midwest winter, and regardless of temp, the gas gauge should always work. Had I not had my cell phone, or had I been in a more remote area, or had it been dark at night and I was in a dangerous area, the toddler and I could have been in real physical danger. The potential disaster that could have ensued makes me shudder. This is entirely unacceptable. Please look into this for other Town and country minivans.

I was first made aware of the recall on the rear quarter vent window switch, 14V-234000, in late fall of 2014. But Chrysler made it clear immediately that they did not have the parts available to make the repair. Then at the beginning of the year I received another letter making it seem as if the part is now available and I can get this safety issue resolved. Well, I have called my dealership (adamson motors in rochester, mn) twice with no luck. The first time they said the part was still on back order. The second time they said parts are trickling in and they will take my information and put my name on a part when they get one in for me. That was over a week ago, still waiting. I know someone else with the same vehicle that went to the same dealership the week prior to when I called the second time (in between my phone calls)and got the same recall part replaced. Why are some people being treated differently" what gives"

Just received (1-2015) my second notice for rear quarter vent window switch recall. As I did when the first noticed arrived (7-2014) I called my local dealer and no parts are available and they do not have a date when the parts will be available. From what I see on the recall this issue could cause a fire which is probably not good as the van is parked in our garage when home. Parking outside is not very convenient or logical as we are seeing temps falling into the single digits again and more snow on the way. Don't know where else to turn for help with this issue. I am sure I am not the only owner wondering what is going on with this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
