Known issues on the 2008 Town & Country. The electrical system accounts for 1,241 of the 1,938 complaints filed against the 2008 Town & Country, ahead of air bags at 375 and the engine at 204; 29 complaints reported a crash, 29 an injury and 16 a fire. The federal record holds 5 recalls. On certain 2008 Town & Country vans built within a set window, the ignition switch could be jarred out of run, shutting off the engine and with it the air bags, power steering and power brakes. Certain vans could leak water at the climate control drain grommet, which could light the air bag warning lamp and set off an air bag unprompted; that campaign covered 299,635 vehicles. Electrical and air bag diagnostics and wiring diagrams apply.
