WHILE WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL START TO JUMP AROUND AND WE HAVE TO TAKE OUR FOOT OF THE PEDAL. THEN WHEN WE ARE GOING UP ANY KIND OF HILL OR MOUNTAIN WE LOSS POWER AND ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP EVEN WHEN WE PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE AMOUNT OF SPEED WE LOSS IS VERY UNSAFE AND VERY ALARMING. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS, I HAVE SEEN STORY AFTER STORY ABOUT THIS. IT HAPPENS TO US EVERY SINGLE DAY, THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE JUMPS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND SHUTTERS. IT WILL DOWN SHIFT AND UPSHIFT SUDDENLY AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE GEAR RANGE AND VARYING SPEEDS OF INCREASING, DECREASING OR STEADY SPEEDS. THIS BEGAN AROUND 60,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. IT IS A CONTINUING ISSUE THAT HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT AND PROMINENT OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

I WAS DRIVING MY VAN AND STARTED TO FEEL IT SHIMMYING. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VAN IDLED ROUGH, SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THE CODE READ AS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 4. THEY CHECKED MY SPARK PLUGS AND COILS AND DID SOME SWITCHING AROUND. THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THAT NIGHT, I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE VAN STARTED SHIMMYING HARD, AND I HAD TO DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY, AS MY RPM'S DROPPED TO 500 THE WHOLE DRIVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, AND IT ENDED UP BEING A BAD CYLINDER HEAD. IT MAY BE A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THEY CAN GET THE PART IN AS IT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER.

MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD. VEHICLE STARTED STUTTERING AND STOP MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS THE TRANSMISSION PUMP THAT HAD SEIZED AND FAILED. HE ALSO SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON MY YEAR VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT IT PRESENTING WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE STATED IN THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS A CRACKED LEFT CYLINDER HEAD. VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AT IDOL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT IS CODE P0304 CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. I WAS TOLD THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE BUT NO RECALL ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS. I HAVE MAINTAINED IT WELL AND HAD ALL SERVICES PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE SINCE I'VE HAD IT. IN ITS STATE IT IS NO LONGER DRIVE ABLE AND THE COST OF REPAIR EXCEEDS THE VEHICLES WORTH, MAKING IT A TOTAL LOSS.

VEHICLE'S TIPM MODULE FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL TO A STOP ON A BUSY STREET. HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LOCKED ITSELF IN PARK. ALL CLUSTER INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. UCONNECT SOUND SYSTEM OFF. POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS DISABLED. SLIDING DOORS LOCKED AND DISABLED. ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING WITH KEY OUT OF IGNITION. THE VEHICLE'S COMPLETE TIPM FAILURE, WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS (WHICH SHOULD BE ON AN ISOLATED CIRCUIT), CONTRIBUTED TO A THREE CAR ACCIDENT.

NHTSA ODI 11278717

THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AND CONVERTER FAILED CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO LOSE POWER,SLIP OUT OF GEAR,CLUNK. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD WHINE,VIBRATE, CLUNK WHEN PUT INTO A HEAVY STRAIN LIKE PULLING A STEEP HILL. THIS IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. CHRYSLER SAID MY VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL S44 . I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE KNOWING THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY.

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.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS MANUFACTURED WHEN MINE WAS HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND INCLUDE ALL THOSE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE.

I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE PA TURNPIKE, GOING UP A HILL AT 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN LOSING ACCELERATION AND WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. THE RPM GAGE WAS GOING VERY HIGH. I QUICKLY DISABLED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND PULLED OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, NOT AN EASY FEAT IN THE MIDST OF HEAVY TURNPIKE TRAFFIC (I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER). I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER CALLING MY HUSBAND ON THE PHONE, I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND CALLED INTERSTATE EMERGENCY TOWING TO TAKE ME TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY. THE EMPLOYEE AT THE DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A TRANSMISSION-RELATED RECALL ON 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVANS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED DURING SPECIFIC MONTHS AND THAT MY MINIVAN FELL WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIMEFRAME. HOWEVER, AT A LATER DATE I WAS TOLD THAT MY MINIVAN VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION PUMP WHICH CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER (PART OF THE INITIAL RECALL PROBLEM). PLEASE SEE THE INITIAL ESTIMATE THAT IS ATTACHED. THEY ORDERED A NEW TRANSMISSION PUMP, WHICH WE HAD TO WAIT ALMOST A WEEK TO COME IN. THE DAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP ARRIVED, MY HUSBAND ASKED THEM TO EMAIL HIM THE ESTIMATE SO THAT HE COULD SHOW CHRYSLER THAT OUR VAN HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS THE INITIAL RECALL. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP LEARNED THAT WE WERE CONTESTING THE RECALL, THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AFTER ALL . WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE VAN, THEY SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER (SEE FINAL INVOICE ATTACHED). WE THINK THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT OUR VAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AND FIXED UNDER THE RECALL, AND/OR THEY DO NOT WANT THE RECALL EXPANDED.

I WAS PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FROM SOFTBALL PRACTICE WHEN MY VEHICLE STOPPED SHIFTING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT AND PUSHING THE GAS PRACTICALLY DID NOTHING. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. ONCE IT DID MOVE SLOWLY IT WOULDN'T SHIFT. MY RPMS WENT UP TO 5 AT ONE POINT. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 2 MILES FROM OUR HOUSE BEFORE WE'R HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER DISCOVERING THIS WAS ACTUALLY A RECALL ISSUE. ODDLY ENOUGH MY VIN WAS SUPPOSEDLY NOT AFFECTED, HOWEVER, MY $4000 TRANSMISSION REBUILD RECEIPT SAYS DIFFERENTLY. OF COURSE CHRYSLER ALSO SAID MY WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS ISSUE.
