general problems of the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country - part 2

Car passenger headrest is deployed and cylinder 6 is misfiring as described under the recall description from the previous years vehicles recalls.

When driving my van it will chug going up hills or faster then 25mph like the transmission is slipping. The seat belt light will appear and say it's not connected when driving have to keep pushing seat belt in to get it to stop saying driver seat belt unbuckled.

Driving at 30 mph with no issue stopped at a four-way crossing. As we were starting to move across intersection the van shifted then completely lost all forward motion with no warning like it was stuck in neutral. No warning lights came on until after power train lost all power. No accident occurred but lost all forward motion. Mechanic shop says powertrain will have to be replaced. Dealership never mentioned an issue with powertrain on last visit to them for ofluid change. Did not know of recall but not sure if van is on recall list due to it sitting at the mechanic shop.

After transmission failure 6 months ago problems with steering vehicle, finally system locked up and unable to make a left turn.

The transaxle oil pump experienced a loss of hydraulic oil pressure due to an improperly manufactured transaxle oil pump. I was driving down the road when my car started experiencing issues. I was fortunate to not be in an accident as my ability to speed up or slow down the car did not function properly. There is a safety recall for this issue but my car is just slightly outside of the manufacture dates. Clearly the issue is replicated in vehicles outside of the recall manufacture dates. There was no warning prior to experiencing the failure. It was quite a scary situation and I'm fortunate it did not end in an accident.

Our van only has 83,000 miles and the transmission failed. While driving 45 miles an hour the car started to shake. While trying to find a safe place to pull over the car lost power. It was pulled into a parking spot and left for the tow company.

While driving, the van would rev up to almost 600 rpm & wasn't stopping and then the thermal light or a red light came on. We eventually got to the next exit & thought maybe it was the coolant, though we had checked it previously. It did have antifreeze in it, also, the temperature gage was not high or showing it was overheating either. After checking, we started on the road again, and the engine light was flashing and the van started to rev then lose power while we were driving on the highway it was quite scary. The thermal light was on and the engine light was flashing. We had to pull over due to the issue since it was no longer safe to drive. We ended up getting it towed & we were several hours from home. Our mechanic said he's seen this issues with the transmission on Chryslers Town & Country before. We can provide the mechanic receipts to assist with support on this. We've already had to pay for a rebuilt transmission to be put in and truly shouldn't have to pay for a 20k vehicle to be fixes with less than 135k miles on it when it is well taken care of.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to two independent mechanics, where it was diagnosed with needing the transmission pump to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 16v461000 (power train), however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

When I accelerate, the vehicle jumps, as if the transmission is slipping. It seems like it does it when it needs to change gears. There aren’t any lights on to indicate anything is wrong, however, this problem is consistent and I’m scared the vehicle will leave my small children and I on the side of the road.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull over nearby an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a transmission pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Power train failure - transmission pump failed- lost power- resulting in wreck with my two young children in the car. This year and make is involved in a recall , but not my VIN per this website. Have read 100 other instances that are exactly like mine.

The transmission failed on a four lane highway (with 78,260 miles and original owner), as my wife and young son were trying to pull out from an intersection and merge into traffic, risking their safety and others on the same road. A moaning noise, which points to the transmission pump that was recalled on other same year models, seems to be the culprit according to the dealership, which requires a new or remanufactured transmission. After speaking my wife, who was in the process of running errands on 1/5/2022, the vehicle did not make any noise upon starting on her trip, but did start a slight moaning noise at one of her stops, which she stated sounded similar to the sound a power steering pump makes when low on fluid. Additionally, the vehicle was in for its annual safety inspection and PA emissions testing on 12/16/2021, for which it passed with no issues noted. The vehicle is currently sitting at a garage (after getting an initial diagnosis at the purchased dealership, jim shorkey Chrysler in north huntingdon, PA) to get a second estimate of needing a new transmission. There were no warnings prior to this occurring, such as hesitation, check engine lamps, etc. , and even on initial drop off, the check engine light still was not illuminated (the dealer has stated there are 3 codes for the transmission in the computer, but was not able to confirm whether the engine light was on now). After now reading various internet websites, speaking with both the dealer and a mechanic, and even to a local tow truck driver, these vehicles all appear to have very similar transmission issues. The local mechanic stated he has replaced three of these exact transmissions for pump issues within the last few months. Being that there is such a backlog on replacements of this model, this points clearly that it is a safety issue on these vehicles and many, many of the same model outside of the recall date are suffering the same fate and need to be recalled immediately.

Transmission was slipping- Chrysler deal inspected the car and found transmission had low oil pressure due to worn oil pump . They replaced the transmission and oil cooler assemble a recall for a transmission pump seizing causing low pressure has been issued for some Chrysler town& country 2015.

Transmission completely fails with only 83,000 miles. Paid at a Chrysler/Dodge dealership to have the transmission replaced with a new one. August 17th after driving the vehicle the transmission failed again. Took several weeks before they replaced the transmission valve body on supposedly a new transmission. After 1,644 miles the vehicle again loose power.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while her father was driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact called the local dealer but, the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA campaign number: 16v461000 (power train) however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that when she stops at a light the vehicle cuts off. The contact stated that no warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart after an hour. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that a repair was a waste of money as no diagnosis or repairs were done. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission need to be replaced. The transmission was replaced however, the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic who then replaced an unknown filter however, the failure still occurred. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic who stated that a thermostat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure was still occurring. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

The engine turns off while driving at freeway speeds for no reason. It loses power increasing the risk of crash because there is no steering power. Also when coming to a stop, it begins to idle very rough then the engine dies. No check engine light on. Yes problem has been confirmed by 2 separate transmission mechanics. This is the same problem as Chrysler recall number s44 (transmission pump failure). But my manufacture date missed the recall by about 5 months.

I bought my car from 440 Dodge in jersey city NJ, I had mopar insurance for repairs. I bought it back twice for transmission purposes, dealer did change a somewhat sensor to change shifting on trans at no charge cause I was covered but know it's happening again, not shifting accordingly, gas is burning cause of staying in gears that are not shifting. Trans is not slipping but I'm having the same problem on shifting and will stay stuck on same gear and car will keep accelerating wich in some cases l'd have to keep foot on brake, pull over and let system reset. What are my options in this case, thank you.

Back windshield shattered suddenly. Nothing hit it. Defective. Shattered due to weak corner/ defective. Seatbelt buckle broken in back seat. Driver headrest deployed. Transmission went up at 80,000 miles.

Whining sound then abrupt failure of transmission to perform. Field drive, baton rouge, la and vicinity.

On9/16/2020 noted a high pitched whine started when backing out of driveway and continued on the highway approximately 25 miles to work. After work, the check engine light came on and within 1-1. 5 miles on local side streets from my work, the car began having trouble with acceleration and bogging. I was able to pull into a local garage. Thankfully, I did not take the highway or this would have been disastrous. 9/17/2020 the service garage had identified need to replace transmission. It only has 74000 miles on it and out extended warranty expired recently. The day prior to this happening, a window molding suddenly flew off our drivers side while on the highway.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling at a drive thru, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to respond. The driver stated no warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to drive to a nearby parking lot and park the vehicle. The driver called the contact so he could continue driving the vehicle to their residence. The contact stated he then experienced the failure himself and also stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact called arrigo Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram sawgrass located at 5901 madison Ave, tamarac, FL 33321, (954) 515-5800 and were made aware of the failure. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired as of yet. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 16v461000 (power train), however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

The check engine light came on and within minutes it wasn't moving, only in reserve. The engine light when check had many errors messages about the transmission lines and pump and anything about the transmission basically. The fluid wasn't dry put we added more just in case, no change.

While driving on the freeway, the engine completely shut off. I lost power steering, power and all electrical power. I stopped then it turned on fine with no issues. Not reproduced. No prior messages or symptoms.

While driving at approximately 25 mph, I lost all power to engine. No power steering, no brakes, no ability to a accelerate. I was able to put flashers on and pull off main road. I turned ignition off and was able immediately restart it. Two days prior, van wouldn't start and had to be jump started. Interior lights still worked but no power was getting to ignition.

All of the sudden my van slipped and went forward after having it looked at my transmission fluid after only 64000 was completely black and have 4 broken aluminum pieces in it. So that's going to be an expensive fix. The van is a 2015. Only 5 years old. It should not be having this problem.

My vehicle is a 2015 with a little over 87,000 miles. I just had the transmission replaced for the second time since 2017. The first had to have it replaced in 2018 and then again in June 2020. There's obviously a defect with the powertrain in this vehicle. This vehicle has had three transmissions in 5 years. It is still sputtering and doesn't feel right.

When I drive in highway and trying to a full stop because of traffic the car shuts off . In the stop sign when I make full stop the car jumping looks like the gear is not going down. Even when I drive up hill the gear is not going up.

I was driving on the interstate when I felt issues with the transmission and smelt something burning. I was fortunate that there was a rest area nearby and pulled off the highway to inspect. When I pulled into the parking spot, I did not notice any puddles on the ground. By the time I got out of the car, there was a huge puddle of oil on the ground as well as I could see oil dripping from underneath the van. I immediately took it to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the front pump failed requiring replacement of the entire transmission.

This vehicle was driven by my wife with my kids inside the vehicle. Almost causing a accident which now concerns me for the safety of my family. The gears on this vehicle stop functioning out of nowhere. I'm confused on how a vehicle like this which is suppose to be reliable especially to families that travels in these vehicles. This vehicle is only 4 years old and only has around approximately 60,000 miles. This should never happen to this vehicle unless it is part of this recall. It has not been driven that long and still has low miles. Please help me to fix this problem and get my family to feel safe again in our vehicle. Thankyou.

Will not shift properly.

In may 2018, my van lost all power while driving on the freeway. I was accelerating, and had complete loss of vehicle power but maintained electrical (lights/radio). My car was towed and I had a diagnostic performed. I had the total integrated power module replaced (tipm). Recently I have experienced intermittent issues such as windshield wipers acting uncontrollable, radio not functioning at period of times. Just last night (November 2019) my car lost all power again while driving and I ended up on the side of the freeway yet again. The same thing happened, the accelerator was pressed as I was driving on the freeway and the rpm just dropped straight to 0. I soon lost my power steering but was still able to get the car to the side of the road. I still had light/radio function. The car would not restart. I had it towed and it is my tipm yet again.

The car was in motion driving and started to stop and overheat. We took it to get the codes looked at for the problem and the p0944 code is showing for hydraulic pressure unit loss of pressure. Which is specific to the reference number 16v461000 NHTSA recall bulletin powertrain automatic transmission.

While driving my car will seem like it pushes back as if the shifting gear is hold back. Now it started shaking to as I sped up on the interstate to the point were I could not put my foot on the gas. The shaking last about 5 minutes and check engine light is on. It also did not want to start right away.

Chrysler 2014 -2019 Town & Country passenger vans are having numerous low compression problems on any or all cylinders in mid range mileage odometer readings ( ours at 87,000 mi. ) shooting engine lights on. . -after changing all spark plugs and the coil specifically on cylinder 4 that threw the engine light on. . . The mechanics are saying their is still more internal problems in these engines with low compression making the vehicles run rough at idle but problems will get worse as wrong mixtures of gasoline will create further emission problems and may result in the catalytic converters failing . . . . Could you as the NHTSA research the extent of the problems and work on a recall ???? before the initial repair of cylinder 4 the car at hi way speeds did lose acceleration and caused problems entering hi speed hi ways situations. . .
