What 679 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Chrysler Town And Country

Used key fob to open rear liftgate in order to put packages in , liftgate opened like normal I bent in to place packages inside and the liftgate came backdown and hit my head and then went back up a few inches and came back down again hitting my head again before I had a chance to move out of the way. I had to go to the hospital, I had head and neck pain ,to get checked out and was told I wad whiplash.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN REVERSE AFTER MAKING A U TURN THE BRAKE LOCK UP ON ME CAUSING THE CAR TO ROLL. IT WAS SO DANGEROUS I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE ARE WORSE CASES, WHEN IM DRIVING UP A HILL IMAGINE THAT...... I JUST ROLLED DOWN THE HIIL, I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER.

MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS CLIMBING OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WHEN SHE MUST HAVE BUMPED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT CLOSED ON HER HEAD JUST BEHIND HER EAR AND KEPT PRESSURE ON IT WITHOUT RELEASING. MY WIFE HAD TO JUMP OUT AND FIRMLY PUSH THE DOOR OPEN TO DISLODGE HER HEAD. SHE HAD AN INDENTATION ON HER HEAD AND A GOOD SIZED BRUISE...NOT TO MENTION SHE WAS TERRIFIED AND SCREAMING! WE ARE SO BLESSED THAT IT WASN'T HER NECK THAT GOT STUCK IN THERE. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND VIDEOS WHERE PEOPLE PUT THINGS LIKE PENCILS AND BLOCKS OF WOOD IN BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE PILLAR AND THE DOOR SNAPS THEM LIKE THEY ARE TWIGS. THIS IS TERRIBLY UNSAFE! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! WHAT KIND OF FAMILY VEHICLE IS THIS??? *TR
