2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

SUBJECT VEHICLE (2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN, VEHICLE 2) WAS INVOLVED IN COLLISION ACCIDENT WITH 2005 FORD MUSTANG (VEHICLE 1). VEHICLE 1 PULLED OUT FROM A STOP SIGN TO TURN LEFT ONTO 4 LANE THOROUGHFARE WITH A LARGE TRUCK TURNING RIGHT ONTO STREET WHERE VEHICLE 1 WAS STOPPED. VEHICLE 1 DRIVER'S VIEW OF TRAFFIC WAS HINDERED BY TURNING TRUCK. VEHICLE 2 WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE PASSING THE TRUCK. VEHICLE 2'S RIGHT FRONT CORNER COLLIDED WITH LEFT FRONT CORNER OF VEHICLE 1 AT FULL VEHICLE SPEED SINCE DRIVER OF VEHICLE 1 DID NOT SEE VEHICLE 2 PULLING OUT AROUND TRUCK IN TIME TO BRAKE. VEHICLE 2 DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG, DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ALL DEPLOYED. DRIVER WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN VEHICLE 1. DRIVER OF VEHICLE 1 SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE ABRASIONS AND BRUISING OF BOTH LEGS FROM THE KNEES DOWN AND OF ONE FOOT FROM THE FORCE OF THE KNEE AIRBAG. THE KNEE AIRBAG ALSO PREVENTED THE DRIVER FROM PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE SINCE THE AIRBAG WAS BETWEEN HER FEET AND VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED 3-4 CAR LENGTHS CROSSING INTO THE ONCOMING LANES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP AGAINST THE CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE KNEE AIRBAG APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED WITHOUT IT AND ALSO HINDERING DRIVER ACCESS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DID NOT CAUSE ANY BRUISING OR NOTICEABLE INJURY TO THE DRIVER OTHER THAN MINOR SORENESS IN THE CHEST. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ALSO DEPLOYED AND BROKE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. MY KNEE TOUCHED THE KEY RING. VEHICLES ENGINE SHUT OFF. BRAKES LOST POWER. HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STEERING AND GETTING VEHICLE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO GET IT IN PARK TO RESTART CAR. *TR

I RENTED A TOWN AND COUNTRY FROM ENTERPRISE. DROVE 2,000 MILES FROM PA TO FL. ON THE WAY BACK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE IGNITION GOT DISCONNECTED BRIEFLY AND CAME BACK AFTER 1-2 SECONDS. AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS IT COULD BE (WE HAD NO ACCIDENT NOR INJURY AT ALL) BUT NOW I SEE THAT THIS COULD BE LINKED TO THE GM IGNITION RECALL (DOES THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME IGNITION SUPPLIER AS GM?). PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE CASE AS THIS MAY INDICATE THAT THE IGNITION RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE SOME CHRYSLER VEHICLES AS WELL. *TR

WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO FULL AND EXHAUST SMELL OR A GAS SMELL WAS WITNESSED IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER SEVERAL DELIBERATE TIMES OF PRESSING THE GAS TO FULL EVERY TIME THE SAME SMELL WAS WITNESSED IN THE BACK SEATS OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS SIX MONTHS OLD AND IS GOING TO BE GOING TO THE DEALER ASAP. *TR
