Transmission Pump problems of the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country

Check engine light came on. Van was originally driving fine and not making any noises. Next day while driving to get the check engine light diagnosed on the city streets, the van wouldn't shift gears and stopped in the middle of the road. After an attempt to turn the van on and off to get it out of the middle of the road, the van would move forward and then slowly decelerate. When towed to the repair shop, it was determined that there was something wrong with the transmission. The diagnosis is a transmission pump failure. There is a recall due to transmission pump failures however we were told our VIN # wasn't affected. $3700 later we had to get a rebuilt transmission out of pocket when I believe this was related to the recall.

After sitting at a stop at a drive thru service, the vehicle lost all ability to accelerate when stepping on the gas. Turned the car off and regained control. Drove for awhile and the transmission started slipping and then would lose complete ability to accelerate. The loss of power would cause the car to come to a standstill with traffic having to deal with my non moving car in the middle of traffic. Engine began to whine also. I turned the car off and would regain control for a short while until it would happen all over again. Took it into a mechanic and was told it was the transmission pump. It is recalled on other vehicles of the same make and model and year but it is not covered on mine. This was the first repair to any non body part of the vehicle. All fluid changes and regular preventive maintenance were kept up to date. It's worrisome that the transmission failed so early on such a new vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler town and country. While the contact's wife was driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle lost power without warning. The vehicle was towed to stephen wade Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (855-227-3516, located at 1724 hilton dr, st. John, utah 84470) where it was diagnosed that the transmission pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The transmission pump needs to be replaced only a year after the transmission assembly was replaced. I was driving when the gears kept making a whining noise and weren't shifting as easily as before. Acceleration was longer and made merging in and out very dangerous. According to the Chrysler customer service department, my vehicle doesn't qualify for a recall repair even though the pump was recalled for this vehicle type and year.

I was driving on highway and from nowhere car lost power for few seconds ( engine stoped) I almost run to another car. After car was driving okay for about 15 minutes and again lost power for few seconds and almost run off road( lucky, was no kids in my car). I took off highway and was driving on regular road. Car start making loud noise. I could not drive faster then 25 miles in hour( lucky was close by my business). That was transmission problem. Did research and find out that happening with a lot of cars, transmission pump failure. Some cars received recall, I didn't. Why Chrysler lost quality? why people paying more money and not getting quality like use to be. If car will crash in this situation, who will be responsible. Now I just afraid to drive with this car, specialy with my family. Factory should replace those cars.
