What owners wrote

I rented the van. I was at a stop sign, when crossing the van was slow/ sluggish and I saw a car coming from my left speeding and I pressed on the gas to accelerate and the van did not accelerate as expected, I thought this was due to my experience with a minivan and weight of this type of vehicle, but later realized this was a 6 cylinder and which I did have experience and recall this van not giving me the speed to cross in time yo potentially avoid the accident I had.

I have a 2016 chrysler town and country chrysler. As I was driving my vehicle going about 50MPH, on sept. 3, 2018, on the feeder road alongside the freeway, my van started to slow down and would not accelerate. There was a loud whining noise coming from the van and it would not speed up when I would press the gas. I was able to turn on to the street of my residence because I was not far. I had to put on my hazard lights to make it home only going about 3-5MPH.
