2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

HEADLIGHTS & WIPERS STARTED COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THEM. THE WIPERS WOULD SAY ON FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES AND HEADLIGHTS WOULD STAY ON FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES. NEXT THE RADIO WOULD FREEZE UP. THEN THE PUSH BUTTON START WOULD NOT ALWAYS WORK THE FIRST TIME, HAD TO REPEAT IT A FEW TIMES TO START. NEXT ALARMS WOULD GO OFF IN THE CAR, WITH NO SYMBOLS ON THE DASH. THEN THE POWER 3RD ROW SEAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD AND REVERS WITH MY GRANDSON SITTING IN THE SEAT. CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, TOO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS GOING ON!

I WAS DRIVING UP HILL IN THE CITY OF MUSCATINE AND MY AUTOMOBILE STARTED ROARING AND ACCELERATING NEAR A STOP SIGN AND I COULD NOT GET THE AUTO TO STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING A CURB AND CRASHED INTO TWO TREES AND WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. THE AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT AND THE SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR WERE IMPACTED AND THE FRONT ALSO. THE CAR WAS STILL ROARING WHEN EMERGENCY PERSONAL ARRIVED TO ASSIST ME. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE SEIZURES AND WAS TAKEN TO EMERGENCY ROOM AND ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL. THE UPS DRIVER HEARD THE CAR ROARING AND ME CRASHING INTO THE TREES.

THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT THE STRENGTH TO OPERATE THE STEERING AND BRAKES WITH NO POWER ASSIST. WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TO DOCUMENT PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE DID NOT INDICATE ANY SERVICE ENGINE CODES.
