Driving down the highway and it started reving the rpms, making a humming noise , and wouldn't move. . Transmission light on.
The transmission just died coming down a hill at a slow speed near my home on a city street. No previous noise or warning. No check engine light went on. I have 140,000 miles. Van is well maintained. Took to a local mechanic. Found metal in the pan.
When driving in a construction zone on I-71 north a loud whining noise came from the front left of the vehicle it then had difficulty accelerating. I had my foot pressing hard on the gas just to get to 60 mph. The rpm was all the way to 6. The vehicle would slow and speed up with a jerk. Once I arrived to work I parked the car. When I turned the van back on my check engine light came on. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who then had it towed to another location that was able to repair the transmission. I am currently awaiting the full diagnostic. I religiously maintain my vehicle to avoid catastrophic failures such as the one I am having now. So disappointed in the performance of this vehicle as it has been in the shop several time since I have owned it with problems from electrical issues, the side doors unable to open, and oil pain cracking.
Was planning trip from st. Catharines ontario to tyler texas and took van in for oil change and 40 point "peace of mind" inspection to my local dealer where always serviced. Emphasized I wanted to address any problems, if any, before I started trip and not while I was travelling. I was within 30 miles of destination in texas, when stopped at a intersection and transmission jumped when accelerating and heard a grinding noise and pulled over. No warning lights at this time just grinding noise. Had vehicle towed to local Chrysler dealer. See service invoice included. Transmission service done the next day and was given the ok. Everything fine during our stay. On our return trip from texas to ontario, no problems until we arrived in columbus ohio, 18 hours later, to re-fuel and when pulling away from gas station vehicle jumped, heard grinding noise again, and engine yellow warning light came on. We did not drive further and had vehicle towed to local Chrysler dealer and did computor scan which indicated transmission problems. See enclosed service invoice. Vehicle could not be driven at this time. Six hours from home. Decided to rent a truck and car dolly and towed van home to our dealer for second opinion. Needs new or rebuilt transmission. This is not acceptable for a vehicle that has only approximately 81,000 miles(or 135,000 km), especially since 2015/2016 Dodge Grand Caravans had transmission recalls, but not vehicle wide. I am looking for Chrysler to step up and resolve this issue.
