Had a whining noise coming from the engine compartment. After about 1 or 2 miles the check engine light came on and the whining got real loud and the transmission wouldn't shift into the next gear. I let off of the accelerator and it never down shifted or upshifted. It just coasted. Went to accelerate and the engine just reved the rpms high. Eventually coasted to a spot to get off the road. Can smell transmission fluid. Have no leaks. Now it won't do anything transmission wise. The van will start up and idle fine. Just nothing from the transmission.
While driving on interstate rpms began jumping to 5 and 6 and the car was jerking. Pulled over and noticed transmission fluid leaking. There was no damage to the vehicle to cause this. We have had the car 3 weeks and haven't even made a payment yet because it is brand new. I've found research where other Dodge caravans are having transmission issues and they are being recalled.
