I HAD SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I WAS STOPPED, IF I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, MOMENTARILY, THEN WHEN I TRIED TO CATCH THE BRAKE AGAIN, IT WAS FROZEN, LOCKED AND I COULDNT BRAKE AGAIN AND THE CAR ROLLED BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY EQUIPPED WITH KUMHO TIRES, SIZE: P225/65R/17 (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE WEAR AND NEEDED TO BE ROTATED.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A WATER PUDDLE ON A TWO LANE CITY STREET WHEN THE BACKWASH OF WATER FROM A TRUCK IN FRONT ENTERED MY ENGINE THROUGH THE AIR INTAKE DUCTING AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP (HYDROLOCKED) DISABLING MY CAR AND LEAVING IT INOPERABLE. THIS IMMOBILE SITUATION EXPOSED MY WIFE AND I TO A POSSIBLE COLLISION AS CARS PASSED US. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM THE SITE. LATER EVALUATION BY A LOCAL MANUFACTURER'S DEALER REVEALED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND NEEDED REPLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE TO REPAIR OF $9,280. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY DESIGN WHERE THE ENGINE AIR INTAKE DUCT OPENING IS TOO CLOSE TO GROUND LEVEL. THE CONSUMERS COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE COVERAGE COVERED THE DAMAGED AND ADVISED THE DEALER, TO LOCATE A USED ENGINE. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS DETERMINED THE STARTER ALSO HAD WATER DAMAGED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. UPDATED 11/17/15. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND IT WAS RAINING. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON BUT THEN STARTED ACTING FUNNY. THEY WERE GOING OFF THE SIDE OF MY CAR, GOING VERY SLOW, ONLY GOING 1/2 WAY. THEY WERE GOING SO HARD THAT I COULD FEEL IT IN MY BRAKES. MY WINDSHIELD BROKE AND THEY STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS RAINING SO HARD I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE FUSE BLEW AND THAT THE LINKAGE WRAPPED AROUND SOMETHING AND BLEW THE MOTOR AND CRACKED MY WINDSHIELD. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY SAID THAT IT WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS IS A 2014 THAT I JUST PURCHASED BRAND NEW LAST YEAR. I WORK AN HOUR AWAY SO MY CAR DOES HAVE 42K MILES BUT IT SHOULDN'T DO THIS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT MY WINDOW WIPERS WERE DOING WHEN THEY WERE ACTING FUNNY. THIS VIDEO SHOWS CLEARLY THERE WAS NO CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD AT THAT TIME.
