Vehicles...can't live with them and you can't live without them

So our van saga continues..many of you may or may not know of our fun van saga so here goes.

Back in 07' before Parker was born we had decided that we needed a vehicle big enough to carry 2 kids, a double stroller, grocery and whatever else at the time. We had decided to take the plunge and get a mini van. I tried all other options but it kept leading us to the van. Ugh..so we did it we bought an 07' Town and Country. Much to my surprise I loved it. I could fit plenty of people and stuff in and it was easy and comfortable. But little did we know was that the next few years this brand new shiny van would give us so many problems.

We had our van in the shop almost every few months. It was so frustrating over the years taking out our whole life at times (it felt like) moving the car seats and strollers and much much more. We were supposed to get rentals every time but that never happened and they would say, 'it will be done today' and 3 days later we would finally get it back and so forth. So finally about a year ago I got in touch with some people from Chrysler Corp. and they came to the rescue. They got involved right away and were on top of every time there was a problem. We had rentals finally and they even came out to our house a time or two so we didn't have to keep transporting everyone. But they still couldn't seem to fix it so they offered us a new van! We were hesitant at first because of cost and thinking it would be a huge deal, but little did we know if was easier than we would have imagined. We went through a few little hoops..mostly because of a dumb sales man but we got our new van and the WHOLE FAMILY LOVED IT!! 3 video screens, windows that all come down etc. We thought the saga was over......

Well, 2 weeks ago John drove the van out to Utah to pick the kids and I up and to spend some time with his family. Now remember it's a brand new van, nice and shiny and only 1500 miles on it. Well he drove it to his sisters and all of a sudden it started to make this buzzing noise. Almost like we were driving a moped. I laughed and was like what did you do to my new van, I have only driven it for a week or so. He had no idea. So I drove it for 2 more days still trying to tell myself that it truly was just the mountains and the van was adjusting etc. Well Saturday morning I just had a feeling I better go have the dealership listen to it just to make sure we would make it back to MN..Ha ha.. He came out within minutes and said we needed a new tyranny.. what it's new? Are you kidding me?? Yep, we needed a whole new one and it extended our trip in Utah for another week. Luckily it was under warranty and they paid for John's ticket home so we weren't out that. But some have asked how we have gotten cursed with our vehicles?? We don't know but we are hoping it was a small glitch and that from here on out we will have no more car issues...Please
