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

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Google Waymo's self-driving car is a modified Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
Mon, Dec 19 2016For the time being, this is what Google's self-driving car project will look like: FCA is delivering 100 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrids to Google's Waymo self-driving offshoot. According to FCA, the Pacificas are currently being outfitted with Waymo's autonomity equipment, and testing will commence early next year. The setup includes sensors and on-board telematics, and there will be changes made to the vehicle's powertrain and electrics to help it function better as an autonomous vehicle. It's closer to a Jurassic Park style Ford Explorer than something built completely from scratch, but using a minivan platform has helped the project advance rather rapidly. John Krafcik, the CEO of Waymo says that FCA's product development and manufacturing teams have helped them greatly: "FCA's product development and manufacturing teams have been agile partners, enabling us to go from program kickoff to full vehicle assembly in just six months", says Krafcik. In addition to Waymo's test facilities in California, the initial Pacificas have been tried and tested at FCA's proving grounds in Michigan and Arizona. The modifications have been tailored at a joint effort powerhouse in southeastern Michigan. The production Pacifica Hybrid is rated at 84 MPG3 by the EPA. The plug-in hybrid powertrain consists of a 3.6-liter Pentastar unit converted to an Atkinson cycle and a 16kWh Lithium-ion battery.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
