“Lost vehicle electrical system when I went over a bump in the road, on highway us-1 in saint augustine, florida. I pulled over and stopped the vehicle. Then restarted the vehicle and drove off. But this happened twice. Second time, I had to wiggle the key in the ignition, to get the ignition to start the vehicle again.”

The impact totaled my van,”
NHTSA complaint #10512002, filed 2013-05, 83,000 miles“Engine stalled several times. Wireless ignition node was replaced and then found 2010 town & country had recall for same problem. I was charged $626.75 for this repair at dealer and claim our vehicle did not have this recall. However this vehicle had the exact same problem. Engine stalling resulted in the loss of power brakes, power steering and airbag loss. Luckily there was no accident at the bottom of the hill on a county road while my 3 children all under the age of 5 were in the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10649255, filed 2014-10, 47,464 miles“Traveling east bound on I-24 about 20 miles west of chattanooga while in the state of georgia I rear ended a car that had stopped for a line of cars in front of him. The front of my car was badly damages with the frame showing on the left hand corner. The air bags did not function. My wife hit the seat belt cracking her sternum. The car appeared totaled although their was no damage to the interior. The minivan ended up being repaired. Contacting our local Chrysler dealer their thought was that the sensor was not in the right place to employ the airbags. …”
NHTSA complaint #10595479, filed 2014-06, 59,450 miles“While driving vehicle we have lost power steering and all controls to vehicle on 5 occasions. This commonly occurs after hitting bump in road. Symptoms of vehicle match up exactly to NHTSA campaign number: 14v373000, this is an expansion of recall 11v-139 (the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking), however Chrysler says my vehicle is not included in this recall. My vehicle was manufactured several months after the vehicles included in that recall. I believe my vehicle is also affected.”
