Chrysler recalls 780,000 minivans 2010-2014

A lady pulled into our Church parking lot a week ago with her door panel on fire. Her windows were going crazy. Our pastor helped put the fire out. The whole door panel was destroyed but the rest of the van was spared.

...I had a recall on my brain, (1950 model), but there is no replacement at this time, so I'm going to have to stay stupid until they get a part that will work, or I'll just have to stay stupid.........:B

Wife's Traverse too; something with an airbag sensor as I recall.

Chrysler Group is recalling 780,000 minivans to replacing power window switches that can short-circuit and overheat or catch fire if moisture comes in contact with them.

Similar recall on my Tundra; window switch could catch fire. Wonder if the switches were made by the same company.

I had to rent one of these T&C vans last year. Not a bad ride... for a minivan :E The funky key seamed a bit cheasy though.

Why don't they just quietly change the part number and sweep it under the rug :h Oh....right...that didn't seem to work for the other guys....:B

On of our work carvans ended up with water in the switch, no safety concerns but the windows and locks went crazy until the switch was dried out. I'm a little surprised it is a recall.

Oh my Gwad! That sounds serious!

Any loss of life?

No. Considering the OP, it was a good opportunity to highlight some negative Chrysler news. I own one of these vehicles, and I also own a Cobalt, and none of these recalls bother me. Everyone has issues from time to time.
