2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I GOT INTO THE CAR WHICH HAD BEEN PARKED ON A HILL. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FACED UPWARD. I TURNED ON THE ENGINE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. (AT THAT MOMENT I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE WAS STIFF). I SWITCHED GEARS INTO DRIVE AND IT SLOWLY SLID BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. I PRESSED HARDER WITHOUT ANY REACTION FROM THE BRAKES OTHER THAT A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN BUT GAINED MOMENTUM AS IT ROLLED DOWN THE HILL AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR. DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A SLOW MOTION ACCIDENT, I HAD TIME IN WHICH I DOUBLE CHECKED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING UNDER THE BRAKE AND THAT I WAS INDEED PRESSING THE BRAKE AND NOT THE GAS. I HAVE A DASHCAM VIDEO IF YOU NEED. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM: WHENEVER THE CAR IS COLD AND ON A STEEP HILL WITH THE FRONT OF THE CAR FACING UPWARD, THE BRAKES STIFFEN UP AS IF THE ENGINE IS OFF AND YOU PUMP THE BRAKE AND IT IS HARD. I HAVE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER WHO IS OPENING AN INVESTIGATION. I SO FAR HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD, ABOUT 30 MPH, I LOST ACCELERATION. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON, BUT AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, IT WOULD NOT GO. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE VAN, AND RESTARTED IT. IT WAS FINE AFTER THE RESTART. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ASKED IF I HAD A LOT OF KEY CHAINS ON THE KEY. I HAD NONE. THEY SAID MAKE SURE I AM PUSHING THE KEY ALL THE WAY IN WHEN I START THE CAR. ALSO,I HAD PLENTY OF GAS. I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE (IT IS NOW APRIL, 2015), BUT MY OTHER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN 2008 DID THE SAME THING YESTERDAY. WE DID GET A NEW KEY FAB FOR IT, SINCE THE OLD ONE WAS BROKEN. IT WAS THE SAME EXACT THING THAT HAPPENED. SHE HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS. *TR
