Transmission pump failed while driving and resulting in loss of drivability. Vehicle began making a whining sound while on the interstate and we exited the highway. Vehicle lost ability to move while in a parking lot/drive-thru.

- Covington, KY, USA

While driving, the vehicle began making a very faint whining noise. I stopped at a red light, and then the vehicle had trouble accelerating. I was able to make it home, but the vehicle wouldn't make it up the driveway; it kept rolling backwards. After reading over 100 complaints with the same problem, I'm pretty irate to find out there was a recall, but my VIN# isn't included. The warranty also covers the powertrain up to 60K miles and I'm at 61832, just over the warranty. I shouldn't have to replace my transmission on a 4 year old vehicle, when numerous others are complaining of the same problem and other vehicles of the same make/model are under recall.

On Friday Sept 4th I was using my vehicle normally. After turning it off at my home after going to the bank, I attempted to turn it back on to go to work and it wouldn't move into gear. I put the vehicle in drive, but the engine just made a revving sound and didn't move. I tried reverse, neutral, drive and the vehicle only revved. After missing work, we had the vehicle towed to a local repair shop that told us a recall was not including our VIN #. they explained that the transmission pump wasn't getting fluid to the transmission and since it failed our transmission was damaged. We our now facing needing a new transmission. I don't see how there is an active recall that includes my make and year and vehicle type but excludes my VIN. If I had been aware of a recall a small repair could have been made. Now my vehicle needs an entire new transmission. This could have been deadly if my vehicle died in the middle of an intersection. A Caravan is sold specifically as a family vehicle. Yet this company is putting my babies at risk. If their transmission pump is bad it's in all the Caravan, not just one or two. This needs to be fixed before someone actually gets injured.

Upon pressing the gas pedal to accelerate it feels and sounds as if my van is in the neutral position. It takes time for it to finally 'catch' and begin to actually accelerate. The hotter it is the worse the van seems to get with this problem to the point where it makes a high pitch sounds like it is just being set to a neutral position and pressing the gas pedal to make a high pitched sound. At this point it does not move until something finally 'catches' and makes it go-even then moving from a crawl speed. While driving the vehicle it also makes a high pitch sound from the engine area.
