After Transmission failure 6 Months ago problems with Steering Vehicle, finally System locked up and unable to make a Left Turn.

- Columbia, SC, USA

The transaxle oil pump experienced a loss of hydraulic oil pressure due to an improperly manufactured transaxle oil pump. I was driving down the road when my car started experiencing issues. I was fortunate to not be in an accident as my ability to speed up or slow down the car did not function properly. There is a safety recall for this issue but my car is just slightly outside of the manufacture dates. Clearly the issue is replicated in vehicles outside of the recall manufacture dates. There was no warning prior to experiencing the failure. It was quite a scary situation and I'm fortunate it did not end in an accident.

Our van only has 83,000 miles and the transmission failed. While driving 45 miles an hour the car started to shake. While trying to find a safe place to pull over the car lost power. It was pulled into a parking spot and left for the tow company.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull over nearby an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a transmission pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The transmission failed on a four lane highway (with 78,260 miles and original owner), as my wife and young son were trying to pull out from an intersection and merge into traffic, risking their safety and others on the same road. A moaning noise, which points to the transmission pump that was recalled on other same year models, seems to be the culprit according to the dealership, which requires a new or remanufactured transmission. After speaking my wife, who was in the process of running errands on 1/5/2022, the vehicle did not make any noise upon starting on her trip, but did start a slight moaning noise at one of her stops, which she stated sounded similar to the sound a power steering pump makes when low on fluid. Additionally, the vehicle was in for its annual safety inspection and PA emissions testing on 12/16/2021, for which it passed with no issues noted. The vehicle is currently sitting at a garage (after getting an initial diagnosis at the purchased dealership, Jim Shorkey Chrysler in North Huntingdon, PA) to get a second estimate of needing a new transmission. There were no warnings prior to this occurring, such as hesitation, check engine lamps, etc., and even on initial drop off, the check engine light still was not illuminated (the dealer has stated there are 3 codes for the transmission in the computer, but was not able to confirm whether the engine light was on now). After now reading various Internet websites, speaking with both the dealer and a mechanic, and even to a local tow truck driver, these vehicles all appear to have very similar transmission issues. The local mechanic stated he has replaced three of these exact transmissions for pump issues within the last few months. Being that there is such a backlog on replacements of this model, this points clearly that it is a safety issue on these vehicles and many, many of the same model outside of the recall date are suffering the same fate and NEED to be recalled IMMEDIATELY.

Transmission completely fails with only 83,000 miles. Paid at a Chrysler/Dodge dealership to have the transmission replaced with a new one. August 17th after driving the vehicle the transmission failed again. Took several weeks before they replaced the transmission valve body on supposedly a new transmission. After 1,644 miles the vehicle again loose power.

The engine turns off while driving at freeway speeds for no reason. It loses power increasing the risk of crash because there is no steering power. Also when coming to a stop, it begins to idle very rough then the engine dies. No check engine light on. Yes problem has been confirmed by 2 separate transmission mechanics. This is the same problem as Chrysler recall number S44 (transmission pump failure). But my manufacture date missed the recall by about 5 months.

The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic who then replaced an unknown filter however, the failure still occurred. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic who stated that a thermostat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I bought my car from 440 Dodge in Jersey City NJ, I had Mopar Insurance for repairs. I bought it back twice for transmission purposes, Dealer did change a somewhat sensor to change shifting on trans at no charge cause I was covered but know it's happening again, Not shifting accordingly, gas is burning cause of staying in gears that are not shifting. Trans is not slipping but I'm having the same problem on shifting and will stay stuck on same gear and car will keep accelerating wich in some cases l'd have to keep foot on brake, pull over and let system reset. What are my options in this case, Thank You

While driving on the freeway, the engine completely shut off. I lost power steering, power and all electrical power. I stopped then it turned on fine with no issues. Not reproduced. No prior messages or symptoms.

Over the course of having the vehicle for the past 3 years. We have had a number of odd occurrences where when driving the van it has a hard time shifting while climbing a hill, when pulling away quickly from a stopped position or when coming to a stop. The issue is always when the transmission is shifting. We have had it looked at but they could not replicate the issue, until. When driving to the grocery store the van would not go into gear while trying to leave the parking lot onto a major city highway. The van jerked and shook and then revved very loudly getting to almost 8000 rpms. The car then lurched forward almost causing us to collide into traffic. After this instance we decided a to call the issue in. Upon our initial call, the warranty was expired and they would not be able to do any repairs under the warranty. When searching for recalls while none showed for our particular VIN, many others have had this same issue. Given the nature of the issue we can confirm that cause of the issue is losing hydraulic pressure. This faulty component nearly cost the lives of my 5 family members as well as other that could have been injured.

I've had to have major work done to my engine and transmission. But the electrical problems are never ending. Most of the electric inside of my car hardly works. Our power doors have closed on my kids several times, the car has locked us in while the alarm was going off and we couldn't get out, it's been stuck on and wouldn't turn off, the transmission is constantly slipping, the windows open and close themselves, many times I've come out of the store and the electric sliding door was open when it wasn't left open, locks lock themselves, car alarm goes off while cars in drive and in park, car hesitates to go and I could go on and on. This car is only five years old !!!!

Check engine light came on. Van was originally driving fine and not making any noises. Next day while driving to get the check engine light diagnosed on the city streets, the van wouldn't shift gears and stopped in the middle of the road. After an attempt to turn the van on and off to get it out of the middle of the road, the van would move forward and then slowly decelerate. When towed to the repair shop, it was determined that there was something wrong with the transmission. The diagnosis is a transmission pump failure. There is a recall due to transmission pump failures however we were told our VIN # wasn't affected. $3700 later we had to get a rebuilt transmission out of pocket when I believe this was related to the recall.

Suddenly and without warning, my transmission failed. No warning noises, no check engine light. I was on a country road with my 7 year old son in the car and no help for miles. Had we been on a highway, we may have been in an accident. The vehicle was in motion when I heard a whining/ winding sound. The engine revved high and wouldn't move forward. I pulled over to the shoulder, turned my vehicle off, turned it back on and the same thing happened. I called a tow truck to get my vehicle to a repair shop where I was told that the computer is showing an error code for the transmission.
