Purchased van used from non-Chrysler dealer June 2018. Since owning van we have only taken to Chrysler for all maintenance work needed. After last oil change we felt the van was"acting funny". Trans. Was slipping/banging into gear on up shift and downshift. (intermittently) called dealership a week after oil change to take van back to get checked out. They said we had to schedule appointment for the end of may they were to bust to get us in any sooner. On may 29,2019 the van had a awful scrapping/whistle/buzzing noise coming from trans/engine area. No warning lights. On my way home from work van would be sluggish and then all of a sudden have a surge of power*bang* into gear especially when stopped at traffic lights then trying to go again. Almost ran into car stopped in front of me. Took van to Chrysler dealer may 30th. Barely made it to dealer van had no power, loud whining/buzzing, banging into gear. Check engine light went on going to dealer. Findings by dealership trans oil pump loss of pressure. Suggesting replacing the trans. Assy. Asked them about recall for 2016/town&country trans pump? the dealer and Chrysler goodwill dept. Both said van does not have recall? and because it has 66,374 miles the powertrain warranty is over & because we didn't purchase car from the dealership they can't help us with extending warranty or goodwill for replacing the transmission assy. The dealership diagnosed our problem as the same as the recall.
"takata recall". . . I bought 2016 Chrysler Town & Country touring couple of months back & it's have 27,500 miles on it. Since I start driving this car it's having an issue with shifting the gears. The rpm goes up to 4000 to 5000 rpm & then it's start shifting the gears also when I drive the car on highway and put car on cruise control the rpm stays near by 3000 to 4000rpm. When I press the accelerator it's never take quick pick it's always take long time for pick the speed and the engine or transmission make some heavy noise. I took the car at Chrysler dealership & as per them there is no problem at all but seriously I'm not sure they checked my car properly or not. As per me the gear is not shifting smoothly & quickly as it's supposed to be.
