NHTSA Complaint #11373869 — 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

WE WE'RE DRIVING HOME FROM BISHOP ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VAN WOULDN'T SHIFT TO 3 GEAR. IT WOULDN'T GO PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. EVERY TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE RPM'S WOULD GO PAST THE RED SECTION (ABOUT SECTION 8 OR 9). IT WAS DRIVING FINE AROUND 65 MILES PER HOUR PRIOR, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULDN'T CONTINUE ACCELERATING AT THAT SPEED ANYMORE. WE PULLED OVER TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK AND WE ALSO TRIED TURNING OFF THE CAR AND NOTHING WORKED. WE PULLED UP AT A GAS STATION FOR MORE GAS. WHEN WE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND PUT IT INTO DRIVING GEAR IT JOLTED FOR A SECOND RIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF THE DRIVING GEAR. WE HAD TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 40 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON SO WE WOULDN'T GET HIT FROM BEHIND FROM COMING AND UN COMING TRAFFIC SINCE IT WAS PITCH DARK AT NIGHT. ALSO, THE LEFT BACK PASSENGER DOOR RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT WAS NO LONGER WORKING EARLIER. IT WON'T OPEN NEITHER WITH THE CLICKER, OR BY HAND (INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE) OR BY THE INSIDE AUTOMATIC BUTTONS FOR THE DOOR. IT JUST DOESN'T UNLOCK ANY MORE.
