2 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2019

I've been having electrical problems since I got the van at some point while I'm driving all the gages would start flashing acting like it was trying to die some cases it did some cases it did not but when I stopped the dashboard had lost all power to it no ignition whatsoever I still had working radio headlights and everything else whenever I would park the car it could take up to an hour or more to get in the vehicle because it would not respond to the key fobs you would be sitting down minding your own business and then all the sudden it would work left me stranded trying to get to work my child to school and then last night while I was driving down the highway I started hearing a noise and then all a sudden the transmission started slipping revving up to 6000 rpm while I'm crossing over a bridge on a major highway barely was able to get across the bridge leaving me stranded in an unsafe part of town I ran a code scanner on the vehicle it shows code u0141 that was stored and p083b which is the transmission fluid pump and it never turn on a check engine light until I was less than a mile from the dealer after I had to drive to the dealer because the roadside assistance number I had I could not contact them. I do know that some of the vehicles were under recall I'm not sure if this one was and it was fixed or not but is not showing an active recall but it is not safe the images I shared I was actually driving forward and as you can see the lights came on and at 1 point it actually showed me as being in reverse it beeps and goes crazy.

3 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2019

Yesterday, I was driving straight ahead at 25mph on level city street with the vehicle in "drive. " suddenly the engine roared and revved up but the car did not accelerate - it was as if the transmission had somehow slipped into neutral. I took my foot off the gas, let the engine settle back, and cautiously applied power. The car behaved normally. However, after parking and running some errands, the same thing happened on my return trip home. I have not used the car since.

4 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2017

About 3700 miles the a/c stopped blowing cold air. Vehicle equipped with r134a. Put my gauges on vehicle way low add some stop leak w/leak detector. Found that the valve in rear a/c leaking. Around same time driver rear sliding door stopped unlocking and opening, the child lock lever moved by itself. So I moved it back to disable and that worked for about a weak. Then it started to make a noise like gears were jammed or rubbing together and then it just stopped. Dorr remains unlocked now w/no sound from actuator. Transmission seems to slip and lose power.
