general problems of the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country

Y car accelerates too fast at certain times, like at intersections. It accelerates too quickly that my tires screech like I pressed the gas petal all the way down. This happens when I have the brake pressed and then put my foot on accelerator. This happens pretty much every day but not every time. Finally, I should mention that all my cars have been having problems since we moved and rented a house from my ex-landlord paul, who is a mechanic.

My headlights, odometer & prnd21 began flickering intermittently. Condition worsened and gauges would turn off and back on, warning lights would flicker off & on, radio cuts out. Condition has progressed - now van has stalled out while driving three times. Battery is good, grounds are connected. This complaint seems to be common, yet dealerships do not seem to have repair information from Chrysler. Stalling while driving is dangerous - Chrysler should help identify a solution and issue a service bulletin.

Every time the vehicle gets a complete fill up of fuel. When I drive off onto the highway, the vehicle starts acting very erratic and hesitates severely. It happens every time and is very dangerous. I have read online that this issue has happened to many others as well.

The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, the vehicle would not respond until repeated force was applied to the accelerator pedal. The failure recurred ten times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and they informed the contact that there was not a recall available that was related to the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.

Accelerator petal engaged to the floor and took off down the NJ turnpike. I started braking trying to slow the car down while signaling to get over in order to bring the car to a stop. (I was on the truck side. . ) once over on the side and at a full stop the car continued to run. The engine was running as if I was going 55 miles per hour. I placed the car in park and heard a loud shift/clank nose. I turned the car off and the motor finally stop racing and stopped. My wife and I was so scared. . . We started to get out if it had not stop running. We thought it would start a fire. We waited a while, started up again, got of the turnpike immediately and drove home very slow. I took it to the dealer the next day. They kept it for a day an a half and told me they couldn't find any problems with the car. The supervisor of repairs said that the computer/diagnosis reads a code: p299s. He also say that the current problem I stated was shown in the computer 260 miles ago. And, that the computer showed that the car was traveling 50 mph while the brake pedal was engaged(at the same time !). Who in their right mind would drive a car at high speed while stepping on the brake?. Oh, also the supervisor said he wouldn't go changing the computer just because of this. I got my car back, drove it home and parked it. I'm scared to drive it and my wife is too. I haven't decided what to do next. (ps. They were quick to tell me that my car was out of warranty. . . . Ii do have an extended warranty.

2005 Jeep grand cherokee limited VIN# 1j8hr58n35c638005 - three times within the first 1600 miles, this car exhibited un-commanded acceleration when the brakes were applied. The first time to 2500 rpm, the second to 3000 rpm and the last time it went full throttle! throwing the shift lever into neutral and waiting a few moments would end the incident. My dealer could find no defects and felt the car was safe to operate as is. I felt otherwise and sold it back ( suffering a loss). I hope you find this of interest and will be able to inform any future owners of this serious defect before a disaster occurs. Thank you!.
