The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country.

Vehicle is a 2011 Chrysler town country touring l and has 68,000 miles on it. It is well maintained with no issues prior to compliant incident. While normal driving of vehicle emergency dash light system activated numerous safety warning lights I. E. : abs, esc, engine light. My wife was travelling on a highway at 68 mph. Loss of drivability noted at the time included; loss of speedometer, abnormal shifting of transmission, loss of abs and traction control, cruise control and seat belt notification. The following day, I took the vehicle to repair dealership where I was notified that there was numerous codes showing up on scanner. Pcm codes included; c2200 internal fault of abs module, u1110, u1120, p0501. Advised that I would lose numerous other systems not noted due to codes these included; electric rear doors inoperable while vehicle started, seat belt alarm system, rear parking system notification. Dealership advises that Chrysler company has put the sale of abs modules part # 68089474aa on hold for over the last year, due to an engineering review, and that no modules are available for sale. It was recommend that I "get rid of the vehicle". In doing internet searches this is a long running problem with numerous vehicles using this same abs module system. Due to the numerous safety systems this affects, the vehicles are unsafe without a recall to correct this manufacturer defective abs brake module. I have had to setup an auxiliary gps module to calculate speed and severely limit driving this vehicle during inclement weather. As of now normal braking remains unaffected but there. Public is at the mercy of the manufacturer as abs modules are not for sale and have a retail value of over $1300. 00 + install and dealer reprogramming. This is a severe safety issue and aligns with other current recalls of similar models with the same condition. You may contact me at anytime to discuss.
