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.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.

Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers

Sun, Feb 7 2016

The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Air Bag Control Unit Power Supply Corrosion Report Receipt Date: JAN 29, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V047000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 112,001 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and 2009 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured August 11, 2008, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Fiat ups Chrysler stake by 3.3%, inches closer to full control

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Fiat is one step closer to completing a merger with Chrysler after exercising an option to acquire an additional 3.3 percent of the Auburn Hills-based automaker today. Automotive News reports that Fiat now controls 68.49-percent of Chrysler, which is up almost 10 percent since we last heard news of this deal back in February when Fiat talking to various banks to raise more capital in order to complete the acquisition.
The article says that Fiat is still able to increase its stake in Chrysler up to 75 percent over the next 12 months, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchinonne would rather purchase the remaining shares from VEBA - the retiree benefits trust - sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, the two sides still seem far from an agreement on a fair price for the rest of Chrysler, as Fiat has them valued at $4.2 billion compared to the $10.3 billion estimate from the unions that currently own the remaining stake in Chrysler.
