2005 Chrysler Town & Country Touring Edition Wheelchair Conversion Van on 2040-cars
McKinney, Texas, United States
2005
Chrysler wheelchair conversion Van.
First off, let me point out that this van is as
close to show room condition as possible, allowing for age and miles. I have
looked it over very carefully and found one nick on the front grill, about the
size of a house fly, one scuff on the right side belt molding and what appears
to be a car wash brush scuff on the right taillight lens; the interior is
beautiful. Let me also point out that I did not purchase this van with any
intention of reselling it, however, since it was a long-distance purchase, it
never occurred to me ask the width of the wheelchair lift. Unfortunately, the
Braun lift (NMV05)
although having a 400 pound lift capacity, is, at 25.75" usable width, about an inch too narrow for my power
wheelchair. This might also be a good time to point out that this van does not
have a lowered floor. However, because the previous owner actually purchased it
for a family member, who unfortunately became too disabled to drive before even
receiving it, and said owner has a car dealership, this van was completely
serviced mechanically from bottom to top and features new tires, new brakes,
new sway bar links, new battery and alignment. He also took the time to have
his local mobility dealer check out all of the adaptive equipment on the
vehicle and verified that it was working properly. If you are not familiar with
the AEVIT (Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology) systems, you will
be pleasantly surprised to learn that they make driving much easier and safer for
the disabled person. The AEVIT system provides electronic control of the
throttle and brake, so it requires much less physical input than a mechanical
system. It also has a screen with button switches to control all of the normal
driving functions such as starting, transmission shifting, parking brake, headlights,
windshield wipers, horn, HVAC, door locks and power windows. If you would like
to see a demonstration of some of these features, on this van, send me a
request and I'll reply with Youtube video links. This system is especially
convenient for someone who has contracted fingers, strength and/or reach
problems. That is why I wanted it for myself. Additionally, there is extra
power assist applied to the steering mechanism to make that lighter and there
is a backup system to provide boost for the power brakes in the event that the
engine is shut off. The AEVIT system is probably state-of-the-art in mobility
assistance and safety. It is also, if purchased new, very expensive. The local
shop told me I would be looking at around $60,000 to install a system in my
existing conversion Van. Obviously, purchasing it used can save quite a bit of
money. If you are looking at a vehicle history report, there is a mention of an
accident. I was told that this was a very slight incident that only damaged one
of the bumper covers which has been replaced. Again, I cannot overemphasize the
marvelous condition of this vehicle! EZ-Lock System and center
row seats are included, but not currently installed. Clear Texas title, in my name. Vehicle inspections
welcomed and vehicle can remain here for up to two weeks after purchase. VIN 2C4GP54L95R197534 Miles 42,246 Exterior Color GREEN Engine 3.8L Transmission Automatic Drive Train FWD

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
Chrysler stays IPO until 2014
Mon, 25 Nov 2013There will not be a Chrysler IPO in 2013. Fiat, according to a report from Forbes, has announced that it will not be able to make the American brand's initial public offering before the end of the year, saying that the short, five-week window that makes up the rest of 2013 is "not practicable."
Not surprisingly, the issue with the Chrysler IPO is the same as it's always been - a disagreement between parent company Fiat, which owns 58.5 percent of the Chrysler Group and a UAW healthcare trust, which owns 41.5 percent. Fiat wants to buy out the UAW VEBA healthcare trust, which is responsible for shouldering retiree healthcare costs, but the two sides are hung up on an actual price tag for the remaining two-fifths of the company.
The original idea saw an IPO as a way of setting a fair market price for the remaining shares, although it's not entirely clear what broke down and led to a delay of the IPO plan. As Forbes points out, by waiting until 2014, Chrysler could be risking a cool-off in the IPO market, which could mean less money in its pocket when the automaker finally goes public.
