I HAVE A NEW TOWN AND COUNTRY IT IS NOW 9 MONTHS OLD. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR STALLED IT JUST SHUTS OFF THERE IS NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE WHILE I WAS TURNING OUT ONTO A BUSY ROAD AND THE CAR STALLED RIGHT AT THE ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. I WAS WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE THEY NEEDED TO FIGURE IT OUT. THEY TOOK THE CAR BUT, WHEN I GOT IT BACK WITHIN A WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM COMING ON CONSTANTLY BUT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. ALSO I WAS AWAY WITH MY FAMILY BUT, I WAS AGAIN ALONE WITH MY CHILDREN AND WE PULLED INTO A KOHLS PARKING LOT IN NEW JERSEY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. I COULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. NOTHING WORKED I CALLED THE DEALER BECAUSE I WAS IN A N UNFAMILIAR PLACE AND THEY GOT ME TO ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. WHILE I WAITED FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE THE CAR JUST STARTED AGAIN ON ITS ON. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY NOW WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT ARE NEVER RESOLVED. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING AROUND WITH MY KIDS IN IT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT THEIR VEHICLE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AND HAVE GOTTEN NO SATISFACTION THERE EITHER. *TR
