Transmission recall! while driving through traffic with my 2yr old daughter my vehicle suddenly stopped moving when hitting the gas! after learning it was the transmission I called 2 Chrysler dealerships and was told it was no longer covered by warranty. But when air searched on the NHTSA page I come to find out that 2016 Chrysler town & countrys have a whole recall on transmissions! I am now in the hole over $5000 in repairs!

Vehicle was being driven normally. Came to stop sign at intersection with highway. As it was coming to a stop, the transmission didn't seem to want to downshift with the slowing speed. Engine speed slowed to below idle, and transmission clunked (and seemed to drop completely out of gear). As traffic cleared and the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle wouldn't move at all (forwards or reverse). Had to wave lots of other drivers past. Thankfully it was already stopped, or the outcome could have been lots worse. Dealership stated "transmission was slipping and surging. Fluid was ok. Pump pressure was low, and torque had a shudder. Transmission needs to be replaced." There is a recall for this year, make, and model for the failure of the hydraulic pump in the transmission, but this VIN is for some reason not included. Vehicle has only 67,500 miles.

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler Town and country. While driving, the engine revved and stalled. The contact called Liberty auto city (1000 E park ave, libertyville, il 60048, (847) 362-3800) and was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and there were no recalls. The manufacturer was emailed and offered the contact a partial reimbursement; however, the contact still had to pay $2,500 in labor costs. The manufacturer made the contact retrieve maintenance records. The manufacturer offered a little more cost assistance; however, the contact refused to pay the fees since he thought they knew about the defective transmission before he purchased the vehicle. The contact researched and found that the manufacturer lowered the warranty from 100,000 miles to 60,000 miles in 2016. The manufacturer gave the contact an ultimatum of taking the offer by July 31, 2019 or the offer would be cancelled. The failure mileage was 63,000.

They said we had to schedule appointment for the end of may they were to bust to get us in any sooner. On May 29,2019 the van had a awful scrapping/whistle/buzzing noise coming from trans/engine area. No warning lights. On my way home from work van would be sluggish and then all of a sudden have a surge of power*bang* into gear especially when stopped at traffic lights then trying to go again. Almost ran into car stopped in front of me. Took van to Chrysler dealer May 30th. Barely made it to dealer van had no power, loud whining/buzzing, banging into gear. Check engine light went on going to dealer. Findings by dealership trans oil pump loss of pressure. Suggesting replacing the trans. Assy. Asked them about recall for 2016/town&country trans pump" the dealer and Chrysler goodwill dept.

While at a stop sign car stopped working. It would not start so we had a new battery put in. Then the next day while driving 60 mph on a highway lost all ability to accelerate, steer or break. Was able to restart the car a few moments later and drove a few more miles and while turning right onto a busy intersection the same thing happened. We are very lucky we were not hit by another vehicle in any of these situations!

Have 64987 miles on my vehicle and my transmission went out while I was driving. Just 5000 miles over the warranty. $4000 to fix it. We just had it in December and paid $1500 to fix the vehicle including updating the transmission. This is ridiculous that such a new vehicle has this many break downs. My Dodge Caravan has 158000 miles and no major problems.
