While driving, the van would rev up to almost 600 rpm & wasn't stopping and then the thermal light or a red light came on. We eventually got to the next exit & thought maybe it was the coolant, though we had checked it previously. It did have antifreeze in it, also, the temperature gage was not high or showing it was overheating either. After checking, we started on the road again, and the engine light was flashing and the van started to rev then lose power while we were driving on the highway it was quite scary. The thermal light was on and the engine light was flashing. We had to pull over due to the issue since it was no longer safe to drive. We ended up getting it towed & we were several hours from home. Our mechanic said he's seen this issues with the transmission on Chryslers town & country before. We can provide the Mechanic receipts to assist with support on this. We've already had to pay for a rebuilt transmission to be put in and truly shouldn't have to pay for a 20k vehicle to be fixes with less than 135k miles on it when it is well taken care of.

Driving at 30 mph with no issue stopped at a four-way crossing. As we were starting to move across intersection the van shifted then completely lost all forward motion with no warning like it was stuck in neutral. No warning lights came on until after power train lost all power. No accident occurred but lost all forward motion. Mechanic shop says powertrain will have to be replaced. Dealership never mentioned an issue with powertrain on last visit to them for ofluid change. Did not know of recall but not sure if van is on recall list due to it sitting at the mechanic shop.

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.

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

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 !!!!
