Two problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Need to have the transmission rebuilt at 53,000 miles on our 2007 Chrysler Town & Country. Transmission should not go after 53,000 miles . I could understand if I had 100,000 miles or more. Just cheap materials used to save money, the metal shavings were found when we had the transmission fluid changed before we took a long trip out of the country, to canada. The repair shop notice a problem and warned us to not wait to long to fix the problem. Upon fixing the transmission they also found pieces of metal from possibly the gears were breaking up or the housing that holds the needle bearings cracked and was adding to the problem. We contacted Chrysler corp. About the problem , but all they would do is, nothing, because we did not purchase a extended warranty. Their warranty web site stated that 2007 models purchased after July of 2007, that they were giving a lifetime warranty on the power train. Sounds to me , they either found out about the problem , or some other reason. Nevertheless, the material use was inadequate, processes such as hardening of the gears, were wrong, but yet passed inspection. I could have been in serious accident if the metal shavings, or metal pieces got in between the teeth of the gear traveling at highway speeds. It cost me about $3,500. 00 to fix the transmission. I sent a letter to Chrysler corp. Explaining the problem, with copies of the repair work done plus rental car that was needed for a week. Some my have an extended warranty so, they did not complain. I fell Chrysler should reimburse me for this.

The second and third times, the dealer stated that the vehicle needed a software update to the transmission. The dealer has not yet created the update and did not know when it would be created. The speed was unknown. The current mileage was 2,400 and failure mileage was 4.
