2007 Chrysler Town And Country

2007 TOWN & COUNTRY WITH 9,000 MILES DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 76 IN PHILADELPHIA EXITING AN OFF RAMP AT CONSHOHOCKEN. VAN BEGAN SHAKING THEN IT WAS A SOUND LIKE A POP VAN BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE, NOT ABLE TO STEER OR SHIFT ANY GEARS. DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL CAUSING THE VAN TO GO INTO THE OFF RAMP. THERE IS LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VAN BUT DRIVER WAS TOLD BY A WORKER FOR THE PA DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION AS WELL AS AN AUTOBODY SHOP & TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT HAD BROKE CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VAN. THE ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKE IN AT LEAST 3 PLACES AND PART OF THE ENGINE OR MOUNT IS HANGING DOWN NEAR THE WHEEL. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND THEREFORE IT IS DRIVER ERA I.E. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED THE MOUNTS TO BREAK INSTEAD OF THE MOUNTS BREAKING CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. DRIVER IS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THE ONLY ACCOUNT IS THE VAN WAS UNABLE TO BE STEERED TO FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE OFF RAMP AND THE VAN WAS UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR OR STOPPED. THE VAN CAME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF THE OFF RAMP THERE WAS NO CONTROL FOR THE DRIVER. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2007 CHYRSLER TOWN * COUNTRY MINI VAN. I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD. THE LOWER AIRBAG THAT HAS JUST BEEN RECENTLY INSTALLED IN 06 & 07 VEHICLES DEPLOYED AND SHOVED THE LARGE PLASTIC COVER THAT IS UNDER THE DASH INTO MY LEGS AND RIGHT FOOT AND ANKLE AREA CAUSING TREMENDOUS BRUISING AND BROKE MY HEEL BONE ON MY RIGHT FOOT. THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE PUSHED THE PLASTIC COVER HARD ENOUGH TO FORCE MY FOOT INTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I WAS TRYING TO STOP TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES REGARDING THIS FAILURE. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR ROTORS WERE OUT OF SPEC AND THEY REPAIRED THE REAR ROTORS. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIMES, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER HAS NOT YET CREATED THE UPDATE AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE CREATED. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4.

VEHICLE UNABLE TO GO IN REVERSE UP AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY WITHOUT DIFFICULTY AND SHUTTERING IN THE DRIVVETRAIN. CHYRSTLER ENGINEERS AND DEALER SERVICE MANGER TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL STATE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I SHOULD GO UP THE DRIVEWAY FASTER AND WITHOUT SLOWING OR SOPPING TO AVOID THE SHUTTER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE MANY CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU HAVE TO GO SLOW UP THE DRIVEWAY TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT RUN ANYONE OVER OR HIT AN OBJECT. I AM NOT A TRAINED REVERSE RACE CAR DRIVER. ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE HAD IN MY DRIVEWAY DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. WE ALSO HAVE REPORTED HARD SHIFTING AT SLOW SPEEDS WHERE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY LURCHES FORWARD. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE IN AREAS WHERE CROSSWALKS ARE PRESENT SUCH AS THE PARK, SHOPPING AREAS, SHOOL ZONES ETC. CHRYSLER STATED THIS TOO WAS NORMAL. *TR
