NHTSA Complaint #10907472 — 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING ON INTERSTATES AT THE VARIOUS LEGAL SPEED LIMITS FROM CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA TO MASSACHUSETTS, THE DASHBOARD WARNING CHIME STARTED, THE INFORMATION DISPLAY SHOWED THAT THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED TO 3 RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE ENGINE REVS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT THE TIME, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT GOING DOWN A HILL. THE DRIVER USED THE +/- SHIFT CONTROL TO RETURN THE CAR TO GEAR 6. AT THE SAME TIME, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM SAID THAT IT HAD FAILED AND THEN RECOVERED AFTER FIVE MINUTES. EVENTUALLY, THE TPM SYSTEM RECOVERED AS DID THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST INDIVIDUALLY, BUT ON THIS TRIP THEY ALL HAPPENED AT ONCE. THE CAR DEALER COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM.
