I was driving on the highway and the car just turned off. this happened a few times.

- Commerce City, CO, USA

While driving the van, the van started making a whining noise. Then it would hesitated to shift gears. Upon accelerating in traffic, the engine would rev up, then the transmission would grab gear sharply. At every stop light the van does not shift forward. It sits there and the engine revs up, but does not shift gears. The van has to be turned off then restarted in order to drive out of first gear. Warning light came on eventually. After scanning at a local auto parts store, the code was P083B. P083B Code: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor / Switch -??G-?? Circuit Range / Performance. My family's safety and the safety of others put at risk because we were in traffic at a stop light where we were not able to accelerate and leave the intersection and were in danger of getting rear ended by traffic coming at us once the light was green.

THE Transmission Loses Hydraulic Pressure, THE Vehicle MAY Lose Motive Power, Increasing THE Risk OF A Crash.

- Odenton, MD, USA

My 2015 Dodge Dodge Grand Caravan was traveling home to St. Louis from Michigan. The car began to make a whining noise. My wife, who was driving, pulled off the interstate in Indianapolis. As she started driving on the local surface streets, the van began to lurch and behave erratically. She stopped completely and found an auto service center nearby to take it to. As she tried to get there, the engine would spin and the rpms would rise but the van would barely move. The service center did not work on transmissions so we had it towed to a transmission specialist. They determined that the transmission pump failed causing a loss of hydraulic pressure. The loss of pressure burned out the clutches which deteriorated and are present in the transmission fluid. Those issues created a number of waterfall issues with the gears in the transmission including gear ratio errors, skipping over 2nd gear, flare shifting into 3rd gear, and the transmission losing all engagement when it reaches operating temperature. In contacting Dodge/Chrysler, they informed me that there isn't an open recall for them to cover the $4,500 repair under despite the fact that this completely aligns with a prior recall on the 2015/2016 year Grand Caravans. Recall No. 16V461000, Automatic Transmission, where the transmission pump seizes, causing a lack of hydraulic pressure, and the vehicle loses motive power.

transmission went totally out, sliding door makes loud buzzing noise when unlocking and locking air bag light on dash wont go off

- Milwaukee, WI, USA

Our check engine light came on when we were coming down from the mountains. We took it to a mechanic who diagnosed it as a issue with the transmission pump. Now we are afraid to drive it and it is our only vehicle for our family of four. The mechanic quoted us nearly $5000 out of pocket to fix this issue since our vehicle is not included in the list of vins for another recall of this model.

Got results back from the dealer on my grand caravan transmission pump. He said pump failed and burned up transmission. Now I need to replace the whole transmission thanks to dodge not covering all these vehicles with bad transmission pumps! This recall S44 should of been expanded to cover all vehicles from 2015 to2017 since I see a lot of people on the internet have the same problem and complaints. Dodge should be held liable for all these vehicles that need a new transmission due to the faulty pump!! Not just a select few that they deemed worthy of the recall! They cheated the people by not covering all these bad pumps!! Let-??s hold them accountable for it!!

Transmission pump failed while driving the vehicle causing me and my handicapped daughter to be stuck on highway. Was able to get vehicle off the road. Vehicle started to make a whining sound then when I had to stop for road construction it started to jerk forward while I was stopped with my foot in the brake. Then when I went to accelerate I had no power to move forward. Rpms would go to 4000 but vehicle would barely move. Once I was able to safely get off highway I had to call for a ride home. I hate to think if this would of happened while I was actually driving the vehicle on the busy highway and not stopped for road construction what might of happened to me and my daughter if someone would of rear ended us while my vehicle stopped moving in fast traffic! Got home and I searched for any recalls for my type of vehicle and I seen there was a recall for this problem and the recall number was s44. But when I put my vin number in it says my vehicle wasn-??t covered for this recall. Well obviously it should be covered because of the faulty transmission pump stranding me on the highway. This recall should be extended to more vehicles like mine. I have called Chrysler and I am awaiting any info from them wether they are going to pay for this. The vehicle is a 2015 but only has 56000 miles on it! No way this part should fail with that amount of low miles on it. It should be covered under the recall s44! Please let me know what I can do about this if they fail to cover me under this recall. While I-??m only assuming this is the problem with the vehicle due to recalls being issued for it I will be taking it to a garage to be fixed but would like to be reimbursed if this is the problem with my vehicle! Obviously the recall should of been extended to cover more vehicles than what it did. Once I have proper confirmation for the problem I will be refilling a complaint with all paper work to prove my claim if Chrysler doesn-??t pay to fix this!
