NHTSA Complaint #10985889 — 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20MPH MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUT DOWN. I DID NOT NOTICE IF ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME IN BECAUSE I WAS JUST FOCUSED ON NOT HITTING ANYTHING OR DYING. HOWEVER I DID NOTICE THAT THE GAS HAND SAID IT WAS ON E, THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 0, AND THE TEMPERATURE GAGE WAS AT THE COOLEST SETTING. THE BREAKS STOPED WORKING COMPLETELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE SPEED BUMPS IN MY ARE HOOD I WOULD HAVE WRECKED FOR SURE. THANKFULLY I DIDN'T AND INWAS ABLE TO SLOWY MAKE THE TURN (WITH A LOT OF EFFORT) I NEEDED TO AT THE END OF THE HILL. THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE RADIO DID WORK THE ENTIRE TIME. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VAN COMPLETELY I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTATED IT. IT DID START ON THE 1ST TRY AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME (LESS THEN 1 MILE AWAY). I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE VAN HAS BEEN KEPT IN GOOD SHAPE, OIL CHANGES, SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, ETC. AND IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.
