Grand Caravan

  • 68,510 miles
At 60,500 miles while driving at 60mph the transmission lost hydraulic power and we were forced to get towed from the highway to a local aamco transmission repair shop. The vehicle was diagnosed as having no hydraulic pressure and the mechanic theorized that the hydraulic pump had ceased and was no longer providing adequate fluid to the gears. There is a recall 16V461000 that is for this specific problem, yet despite falling in the range of the recalled vehicles manufacturing dates, we were told that we had no recourse because our specific VIN number was not on the list. Right car, right model, right year, right manufacturing date range, exactly the same issue as the recall, and yet we are not on the list"? how is that possible" we were fortunate to be able to pull safely to the shoulder of the highway.

This vehicle was purchased with less than 2K miles on it and in the month timeframe I have had it, it has stalled 3 times on me. Once while driving on a busy road and twice in my driveway. The time on the busy road was when I was keeping up with traffic at about 40 miles per hour. The second and third time was when I was in my driveway and I had no sooner started the van that it shut off immediately. Both instances I have had 1/4 tank of gas. When towed to dealer, no codes came on so I was told there was no way to determine what went wrong with vehicle.

While driving on interstate rpms began jumping to 5 and 6 and the car was jerking. Pulled over and noticed transmission fluid leaking. There was no damage to the vehicle to cause this. We have had the car 3 weeks and haven't even made a payment yet because it is brand new. I've found research where other Dodge Caravan are having transmission issues and they are being recalled.
