Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country based on all problems reported for the 2013 Town & Country.
While driving at about 30mph on a city street the transmission suddenly downshifted to a low gear causing the engine rpm to go up to 4000. This caused the mph to be limited to about 20. There were no 'engine trouble' or other warning lights. The gear shift still indicated 'drive', not a lower gear. Upon stopping, the gear shift was moved to all positions to no affect; when driven the car remained locked in a low gear. The lower gears, below drive (1, 2,3) were not indicated when the lever was moved to the position where they should have been indicated. The car was shut off and restarted. The problem seems to have corrected itself and has not yet reoccurred after several miles of driving, but only hours after it occurred. This sudden downshift, without warning, could be serious at high speed and crowded roads. It is scheduled to be checked by a dealer but there is conflicting views as to whether a trouble code will be available now that the problem is not present. Scary!!.
