2009 Braun Town & Country

2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. NO SPECIFIC EVENT LEADING UP TO FAILURE. THE FIRST TIME I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES AND WAS IN A PARKING LOT INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR STOPPED. THE SECOND TIME I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WAS ON A BUSY IN TOWN ROAD AT RUSH HOUR GOING 30-40MPH. BOTH TIMES, WITHOUT WARNING THE VAN JUST SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO ACCELERATION, NO BREAKS AND MINIMAL STEERING FOR A FEW SECONDS. AFTER THE CAR SHUT DOWN, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER A MINUTE WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. THE SECOND TIME THAT IT BROKE DOWN I DO RECALL THAT ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE I LOST STEERING. IT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST 4-6 WEEKS. IT WAS NOT RAINING OR WET EITHER TIME. I BROUGHT THE VAN IN TO CHRYSLER AFTER THE SECOND FAILURE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT LOSING ALL POWER, THEY DID NOTHING TO FIX IT. A DIFFERENT PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS (SEPARATE PROBLEM) WAS FIXED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE FOR FEAR I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PULL OF THE ROAD IN FAST TRAFFIC NEXT TIME. WITH FOUR CHILDREN, I AM TERRIFIED TO BE ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY ROAD.. *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE OPERATING MY 09 TOWN AND COUNTRY AT 45 MPH WITH MYSELF ( 4 MONTHS PREGNANT) AND MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, CHIMES WENT OFF AS THOUGH A DOOR WAS OPEN, THE WIPERS BOTH FRONT AND BACK TURNED AND MY DRIVERS SET STARTED SLIDING BACK AND FORTH AS IF BEING ADJUSTED ALL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORP REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. THEY DO NOT SEEM CONCERNED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I WAS SCARED, IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR
