Driving home last night in our 2013 Chrysler town and country a transmission issue came up out of nowhere, with no warning. The van lost all speed and was unable to keep up with traffic. It was a dangerous situation that thankfully avoiding any accidents. The van only has 58,000 miles. A certified technician has looked at it and said it will need a new transmission due to internal failure of the pump as there's no pump pressure. He mentioned that he's personally seen several of these problems with premature transmission failure due to design flaw; including ones low mileage ones like ours. I've spoken with several other mechanics and all have said it's an issue seen too frequently. I called the local dealership (olathe Dodge Chrysler 15500 w 117th street - olathe, KS 66062) where the van was purchased from and spoke with the dealership director to see if they could work with us to correct a known problem. All I was given was the Chrysler 1-800 customer service number. It's an expensive design flaw by Chrysler costing several thousand of dollars to repair.
