Transmission Noise Problems of Chrysler Town & Country

Car started to make a funny noise while driving and upon trying to pull over the car reached number 8 rpm's but wasn't accelerating. Then it jerked forward as I finally was able to shut it off. I was stuck on the side of the road with four kids in the car. Towed to dealer and said a new transmission and transmission cooler are required for repair. The extended warranty I purchased for 75,000 miles is no longer valid and just expired as there are 77,000 miles on the car. Also the drivers side rear sliding door is stuck will not open manually or otherwise. This was discovered when trying to open the door while stationary to load kids in back.

Suddenly and without warning, my transmission failed. No warning noises, no check engine light. I was on a country road with my 7 year old son in the car and no help for miles. Had we been on a highway, we may have been in an accident. The vehicle was in motion when I heard a whining/ winding sound. The engine revved high and wouldn't move forward. I pulled over to the shoulder, turned my vehicle off, turned it back on and the same thing happened. I called a tow truck to get my vehicle to a repair shop where I was told that the computer is showing an error code for the transmission.

About 3 months ago my van started making noise. While I was driving. At times it would hesitate to go up hills and when coming to a light it would shake and sometimes shut off. The rpms would go crazy at times while at a stop. When turning it would shake when I would take the turn. I went to have it checked and it wasn't giving any inquiries about what was wrong. When it was diagnosed on sept 27th it just said that the passenger door had something wrong with it. On oct 3,2019 the check engine light finally came on. I brought it in to be diagnosed. It said it was the tcc had my appointment today for it to be fixed (October 8,2019) come to find out it was the transmission. I feel that the Chrysler should pay for this problem because the diagnostic was wrong and it took over 3 months to get a check engine light to go on. I'm on disability and live paycheck to paycheck. I am still paying on this vehicle and didnt think that in the 2 yrs. That I would be paying for a transmission at 72,000 miles. This vehicle was never on the recall list but I believe it should have been.

My van started making a whining noise on my way to work. On the way home I was sitting at a red light and when I pressed the gas pedal the van would not move. It eventually jerked off and I was able to get across the light without being involved in a serious car accident. The van started idling up but would not speed up. Thank goodness I was able to get home. I was so glad my babies were not in the van with me. This is a very dangerous defect in transmission. I had absolutely no warning my transmission was about to go out.

Vehicle is only 3 years old and started making a constant clicking noise that would speed up with the speed of the car in addition to that the rpm shoots up butvehicle struggles to speed up, took it in to get looked at, the engine and transmission are going out and is going to cost more to fix than the car is worth. Also the air bag in the passenger head rest exploded earlier in the year while the vehicle was moving and was not in an accident, and the back passenger door will mechanically open but not shut. This vehicle has had an excessive amount of problems for only being 3 years old.

At 106000 miles, the transmission went out making a loud noise. According to the mechanic making the repair, the parts inside the transmission were completely disintegrated.

Don't get me wrong I love my Chrysler t&c lx stow and go. I only have 4 problems with it. This one is for the transmission and it scared the living crap out of me! last night on my way home on the highway I went to pass a semi and got about half way around it and my check engine light came on and I heard a loud whinning noise and next thing you know my rpm were full blown and I was not gaining speed I was stuck and no where to go as car was approching a head on collision I had to slam on my brakes and pray no one was coming up behind us and get back behind semi!! he was blowing his horn and I was freaking out. I mad it safely behind semi with seconds to spare before me and my 2 daughters would have been dead or smashed into trees. I pulled over and after catching my heart and putting it back in my chest got out and checked tranny fluid it was full as it is sitting there whining I could not imagine what was going on. I got in and it took a bit for it to kick in gear but it did . Than it slightly slipped in 3rd on way home still whinnging. I went to auto zone this morning while still whinnning and slipping here and there and had codes read transmission malfunctioned. And gears 1 and 3 malfuntioned totally defects somewhere. Still searching for answers!!.

Transmission failure while in motion on city street. Loss of control and nearly missed collision with inanimate object on side of road. Parked and remained in drive with foot on break continued to fault periodically (clunking noise and rpm dip). Turned off car and no issue upon restart, drove 5 minutes and issue re-occurred. Had it towed to mechanic who didn't note the issue at first as car resumes normal operation upon restart. Next day reported to me it was a transmission failure and a new one was needed. This was second occurrence initially one incident at 90k miles. But couldn't reproduce failure. Continued to drive until second more event listed here.

My van started making a crunching noise while driving(on a city street), so I took it to my repairman and he said it was a transmission. It hesitates to go into gear and "thunks" while driving. I got it home and it is sitting in my driveway.

Transmission makes noise at 16mph Chrysler is aware of the noise. Chrysler states that they do not have "fix" for it at this time. This is not acceptable to me as a customer of Chrysler. Thank you.

68 mph on highway- rush hour traffic- loud noise- van just stopped. No lights, warning, etc. Transmission completely destroyed. Thankfully the kid behind me swerved well. Bruises from seatbelt & face to knuckles due to sudden stop- chyrsler & NHTSA know all about the 41te defective trannys- are you going to wait until someone or many die? 2nd tranny to fail in same manner.

Driving normally, heard grinding noise as I stopped for a red traffic light. Light turned green, stepped on accelerator to go and transmission would not respond. Could not put auto into park position. Two lights came on, the engine and the transmission throttle indicator. Called Chrysler roadside service and waited for an hour before tow truck arrived. Auto was towed to new smyrna beach dealership. Was told it was to late to get anything done that day(3:00-3:30pm). Was given a rental car to get home. That was on 12/08/05 and it is now 12/09/05 at 1:00pm and I have had no response from the dealership service dept. I will be calling them after I file this complaint to find out the status of my car repair. I went online to find out there was a recall on this make of car for similar problems. I would like to know why I was not informed of this recall?.

My 2001 town and country has 46, 000 miles. With no prior warning it suddenly lost power and was unable to accelerate. A loud whining sound was heard. By the time I coasted into my neighborhood I had no power. Vehicle towed to dealership 2 days ago. Warranty up 2 months and 10000 miles ago. Was told probably would need new transmission. $1900 best scenario/$3300 worse case. Will not find out for 2 more days. Why would a car with 46000 miles need a new transmission. Other things that have happened that I haven't even ventured to get fixed due to financial issues include: back power latch will not work. I sometimes can't even get the hatch open manually. The sliding doors make an ungodly grinding noise when they open and close; my radio was replaced after approximately 11000 miles because it was short circuiting out the electrical components in the dash; I also had to have the front rotors replaced at 11000 miles(they were defective). Also, my front drivers seat power adjustments are broken( god know how much that would cost me to get fixed) my brakes have never felt "right" my husband hates to drive the van because it feels like the brakes are too soft and won't engage when needed. I have had them replaced at a different shop at 36,000 miles though I truly feel it is a mechanical flaw. Despite more times then I care to say of bringing it in to be checked the car still pulls to the right. Nothing has helped this matter. I guess the big thing that gets me is the transmission issues. I am truly discouraged. A 30000 dollar vehicle should not have these problems. I thought I was getting a higher end quality vehicle for $30000 but I guess all I got was an expensive lemon that I am stuck with because I still owe 2 years on it. Obviously by all the reports I have read the transmission is a big problem. Chrysler should own up to these problems and fix them for their customers or soon they won't have any customers left.

Transmission failed at 38,048, car had to be towed, as it was a sat, before a trip we took it to a transmission shop, hoping it was a simple fix from the codes. The transmission had to be rebuilt but I felt it qualified for "if you have an emergency and you have to get a repair from other than an authorized dealer. . . ", Chrysler said this only is for things like batteries or water pumps even though these little details are not stated in the 7 year/ 70,000 mile warranty. In a rude phone message I was told, (after appealing to Chrysler for reimbursement under warranty), that they would pay $1. 000 and that was there final offer and that the van was not under warranty, which it is. I hate this car and if we did not have it equipped with hand controls and a scooter lift for my husband(part of the need for a immediate repair) I would sale it. It was also in 4 times for the non-functioning automatic passenger door latch; to have a battery replaced(29,583 miles); fuel tank; power steering hose; and it still makes a rubbing sound at low speeds that they have never been able to identify(in 2x for that noise). I think Chrysler should honor their warranty but I feel at a loss to fight them. I will try to let it be known where I can the details of the situation.

Purchased vehicle with 52,037 miles. At 65,000 miles took vehicle in for routine transmission service at local Chrysler dealer for fluid and filter change. Service technician advised metal debris noted in transmission fluid pan, keep an eye on it. At 78,350 miles with no prior drivability problems, trans became difficult to engage any drive gear, accompanied by loud gear noise- no malfunction lights illuminated. At repair facility, was told fluid pan full of metal; final drive mechanism destroyed. Routine locally driven only, no abuse. Shop changed trans with factory reman. Unit at cost of $2,780. 00; 3/36 warranty. Local dealer suggested contacting Chrysler hq. , no warrantee or compensation applicable. Felt this warrented some compensation, many similar cases are out there for these minivans. Contacted wa. St. Atty. General's consumer affairs office, receptionist answering call had same experience! no action resulted, vehicle out of warrantee. Now Chrysler has 7/70 coverage. Older transmissions are notorious for early failure under normal driving conditions and maintenance. Request inquiry, possible recall action. Failure on the highway may result in drivetrain malfunction and possible injury. Thank you.

The awd drive component of our vehicle is causing problems, and I am concerned that there may be a safety aspect. There is squealing noise at low speed, a roar at high speed and poor gas milage for this type of vehicle. It feels as if something is bound up in the transmission and I am concerned that something could break loose and enter the passenger compartment. The dealership agrees that there is a problem with the vehicle, but Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the problem and asserts that it is a characteristic of the vehicle.
