| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle was driving at 55mph when suddenly complete loss of steering occurred and brakes locked simultaniously causing vehicle to spin out of control into oncoming traffic. no accident occurred although oncoming traffic also spun out of control to avoid accident. engine never died and when vehicle stopped itself steering and brakes returned to what appeared to be normal. driver was to shaken to continue and her brother took over. he re-entered highway and slowly accelerated watching gauges to look for abnormal occurances. when vehicle reached 45mph oil pressure guage jumped all the way to top reading, complete loss of steering re-occurred, and brakes locked again causing vehicle to spin again out of control. vehicle was towed to nearest dealer where dealer said they had never heard of that happening. contacted chrysler where they said they had no record of that happening. perhaps because the people are all dead? whatever causes this sequence of events to be able to occur should be of major concern to the people at chrysler. the vehicle is under warranty but since no one seems to understand how this could happen how do i ever put my family back in this truck again much less hook up our horse trailer to it? |
