On november 14, 2019 I was traveling with my 18 year old son to detroit metro airport. We were entering the entrance ramp of I-94 & us 23. We were traveling at 65MPH. As I was merging onto I94 traffic, my 2011 town & country lost all power. The car completely shut down. I was unable to steer the car, brake the car. I was fortunately not involved in an accident. I am noting that the only key(fob) on the key ring was the key fob it self.
