Two problems related to transmission noise have been reported for the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission failed at 38,048, car had to be towed, as it was a sat, before a trip we took it to a transmission shop, hoping it was a simple fix from the codes. The transmission had to be rebuilt but I felt it qualified for "if you have an emergency and you have to get a repair from other than an authorized dealer. . . ", Chrysler said this only is for things like batteries or water pumps even though these little details are not stated in the 7 year/ 70,000 mile warranty. In a rude phone message I was told, (after appealing to Chrysler for reimbursement under warranty), that they would pay $1. 000 and that was there final offer and that the van was not under warranty, which it is. I hate this car and if we did not have it equipped with hand controls and a scooter lift for my husband(part of the need for a immediate repair) I would sale it. It was also in 4 times for the non-functioning automatic passenger door latch; to have a battery replaced(29,583 miles); fuel tank; power steering hose; and it still makes a rubbing sound at low speeds that they have never been able to identify(in 2x for that noise). I think Chrysler should honor their warranty but I feel at a loss to fight them. I will try to let it be known where I can the details of the situation.
2002 tc minivan driving on freeway and transmission stopped. Hit gas but won't move. Towed to dealer. 33,000 miles, 16 mos . Also, power side door and tailgate will not open with buttons, at first only when cold but now never works. Needed front and rear brakes at 25,000 miles, rear still makes grinding noise.
