So me and my family we're heading to a birthday party on u. S. Highway 64 going to huntsville alabama and we was about ten minutes out from our city in winchester tennessee and all of the sudden the van turns its self off at approximately at 50 miles an hour and lost all power to vehicle and power steering was out then there was a simi truck behind us and I guess he thought we was slowing down on purpose and blowed his horn and passed by. We managed to get the van to the shoulder in the grass and called a tow truck. The tow truck driver tryed to boost the van up and it started then died again so we had to have it towed in. We called Chrysler and they didn't help at all but to tell us to take it to the dealership which they was closed so I fixed it my self and all it was is a bad alternator. There should be some kind of warning when this stuff is going to happen because it was a scary situation at a high speed with your family with you.

1 August 2015 I had an oil change and was notified that my spare tire was dangling underneath the car. Efforts to crank up the tire to seat properly failed. I don't ever recall lowering the spare tire since I've had the van. Today I had the spare tire winch mechanism replaced for $265. 57. My concern was safety, since the continuous wobbling of the tire might eventually fray the cable to the point where it could break. If the tire broke loose, particularly while on a high-speed interstate highway, its impact on the fuel tank could be catastrophic.

The vehicle involved is a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country lx minivan with stow-n-go seating. After repairing a flat tire, the spare tire hanger jammed, causing the tire to appear in place but actually loose. The hanger is a winch with a wire rope that retracts to hang the tire under the mid-section of the van. The wire rope spooled unevenly, jamming against the housing. No accident occurred, but there is high potential for harm to other drivers if the tire were to fall to the roadway.
