TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS) WHERE UPDATES WERE MADE TO THE SOFTWARE. AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT RELEASE THE DOOR LOCKS. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE BECAUSE A MANUAL KEY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

ON 3/7/16, 3 DAYS FOLLOWING THE RECALL REPAIR FOR THE WIN MODULE WE HAD DONE ON 3/4/16, AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND BEGINNING TO DRIVE IN MY CHURCH PARKING LOT, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP, THE CAR STARTED CHIMING AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY SEATBELT ON, THE WIPERS ENGAGED, AND THE MPH AND RPM GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO. IT CONTINUALLY REPEATED. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, TURN OFF AND REMOVED KEY FROM IGNITION. RESTARTED CAR, AND PROBLEM PERSISTED. I REPEATED THIS AGAIN WITH THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTING. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, TURNED CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, AND EXITED VEHICLE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED. TWO DAYS LATER ON 3/8/16 I STARTED MY CAR FOR WORK AND AS SOON AS I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED. SHUT THE CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, AND RESTARTED... STILL OCCURRING. SHUT THE CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, EXITED VEHICLE, RESTARTED, STILL OCCURRING... I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AFTER EXITING MY DRIVEWAY AND TOOK A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM REPEATING CONTINUALLY UNTIL A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, I PULLED OVER INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, SHUT THE CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, OPENED AND SHUT THE DOOR, AND LET IT SIT FOR 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING, AND THE PROBLEM NO LONGER OCCURRED. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, GREENWOOD AUTO IN CORTLAND, OH TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AND ALL THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T FROM THEM REPAIRING THE WIN MODULE. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A COINCIDENCE AS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL REPAIR DONE. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES BUT I DO HAVE A VIDEO. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE NOW SAYS I HAVE TO PAY A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THIS NEW PROBLEM, HOW CONVENIENT THAT IS.
