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.

Bought 2016 Chrysler Town & Country van at hillsboro chrylser Jeep in nh 4/12/17 -odometer reading 19,152. Brought van back 9/24/18 due to shifting abnormalities & rumble strip type issue when driving with just over 41,000 miles. Chris weare said diagnostics didn't show the problem but they did a software upgrade to correct it. We left & came back - the issue reappeared in front of dealership. We told chris w issue was unresolved. Chris said drive it 100 miles for the vehicle to re-learn correct shifting pattern. Drove 100+ miles & it still lurches forward when shifting - esp around 40 mph, with 2-1/4 rpms, then it flies over 3 rpms & quickly drops to 1K RPM. It happens at other speeds but not as often. Also engine revs and recedes several times climbing hills. 10/1/18 7:30 appt at hillsboro Chrysler to re-check rumble strip effect & shifting issue after driving 100+ miles since last visit. Saw chris w & got loaner vehicle. Returned 2 hours later & was told they did a software reset, & the van needed to re-learn our driving habits, & to drive it another 200 miles & the problem should resolve. We weren't asked to sign paperwork during except for the loaner car. Mileage was 41,562. 10/4/18 - called hillsboro Chrysler. Spoke with chris w - problem hasn't resolved & we've driven 200+ miles. Mileage is 41,871. During this phone conversation, chris said there is nothing they can do because no error messages come up when they hook it up to the computer - said their computer is not detecting any problems and he said to continue to drive it till lights come on or engine fails. He said if that happens, call Chrysler for towing, as it is covered under the drive train warranty. Van has 41,871 miles on it & continues to shift roughly & rev & recede many times going uphill, & there are still many times when it feels like we are driving on rumble strips.

I have a 2016 Chrysler Town and country Chrysler. As I was driving my vehicle going about 50mph, on Sept. 3, 2018, on the feeder road alongside the freeway, my van started to slow down and would not accelerate. There was a loud whining noise coming from the van and it would not speed up when I would press the gas. I was able to turn on to the street of my residence because I was not far. I had to put on my hazard lights to make it home only going about 3-5mph. This was very scary for me because my son was in the car and other cars were almost about to hit me from behind. I only have 69044 miles on the van and I maintain my routine maintenance on the van through the dealership I purchased it from. The tech said that the transmission was thirsty for fluid in the gears and it had burned up on the inside. He said that there was no trauma or damage to the transmission and no leak found. My van should've been added to the recall list because it was manufactured in November 2015 which falls in the time frame as the vans that made the recall list and my complaint is identical to the recall (NHTSA campaign number:16V461000)issued on June 24, 2016. I took very good care of my van and made sure all maintenance schedules were kept. This is a $3700 problem that I do not have money to pay. This is not from normal wear and tear nor is it from neglect. This is a result of a manufacturing defect or error. Please investigate this concern as I know I'm not the only one with this same problem.

The transmission is slipping and causing unexpected deceleration. (loud whining noise from the trans module area. My wife and kids were in traffic on the way to school when the vehicle/van lost power and high revved the engine due to issues with the transmission. She was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot to avoid collision. It appears there are recalls due to bad hydraulic pump in trans but the somehow my vehicle is not included according to the dealer. (recall S44/NHTSA 16V-461) I have no way of validating the production date of my vehicle. Please compile and see if other consumers have been exposed to this hazard. Perhaps the recall needs to be extended to include additional make dates.

On August 15, 2017, while driving up a highway incline, the vehicle lost power, power steering and power brakes. I was approaching a stop light about an eigth mile away so I allowed the vehicle to coast, forceably steering it through a slight curve and then braking. When I stopped, I put the gear selector into park and then restarted the vehicle. I called my local Chrysler dealer the next morning. They stated that because there was no "check engine" light and unless it happened again while they were driving it they would be unable to know what had occurred or what was wrong. This has not occured again. The vehicle was about 14 months old at the time and had roughly 15,000 miles on it.

"takata recall"... I bought 2016 Chrysler Town & Country touring couple of months back & it's have 27,500 miles on it. Since I start driving this car it's having an issue with shifting the gears. The RPM goes up to 4000 to 5000 RPM & then it's start shifting the gears also when I drive the car on highway and put car on cruise control the RPM stays near by 3000 to 4000rpm. When I press the accelerator it's never take quick pick it's always take long time for pick the speed and the engine or transmission make some heavy noise. I took the car at Chrysler dealership & as per them there is no problem at all but seriously I'm not sure they checked my car properly or not. As per me the gear is not shifting smoothly & quickly as it's supposed to be.
