VAN BEGAN SHAKING THEN IT WAS A SOUND LIKE A POP VAN BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE, NOT ABLE TO STEER OR SHIFT ANY GEARS. DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL CAUSING THE VAN TO GO INTO THE OFF RAMP. THERE IS LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VAN BUT DRIVER WAS TOLD BY A WORKER FOR THE PA DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION AS WELL AS AN AUTOBODY SHOP & TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT HAD BROKE CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VAN. THE ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKE IN AT LEAST 3 PLACES AND PART OF THE ENGINE OR MOUNT IS HANGING DOWN NEAR THE WHEEL. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND THEREFORE IT IS DRIVER ERA I.E.

THE VAN CAME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF THE OFF RAMP THERE WAS NO CONTROL FOR THE DRIVER. *TR
