VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN NORMALLY. CAME TO STOP SIGN AT INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY. AS IT WAS COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DOWNSHIFT WITH THE SLOWING SPEED. ENGINE SPEED SLOWED TO BELOW IDLE, AND TRANSMISSION CLUNKED (AND SEEMED TO DROP COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR). AS TRAFFIC CLEARED AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL (FORWARDS OR REVERSE). HAD TO WAVE LOTS OF OTHER DRIVERS PAST. THANKFULLY IT WAS ALREADY STOPPED, OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN LOTS WORSE. DEALERSHIP STATED "TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND SURGING. FLUID WAS OK. PUMP PRESSURE WAS LOW, AND TORQUE HAD A SHUDDER. TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED." THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL FOR THE FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC PUMP IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS VIN IS FOR SOME REASON NOT INCLUDED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 67,500 MILES.

I HAVE A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY CHRYSLER. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 50MPH, ON SEPT. 3, 2018, ON THE FEEDER ROAD ALONGSIDE THE FREEWAY, MY VAN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE VAN AND IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON TO THE STREET OF MY RESIDENCE BECAUSE I WAS NOT FAR. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO MAKE IT HOME ONLY GOING ABOUT 3-5MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME BECAUSE MY SON WAS IN THE CAR AND OTHER CARS WERE ALMOST ABOUT TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I ONLY HAVE 69044 MILES ON THE VAN AND I MAINTAIN MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VAN THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. THE TECH SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THIRSTY FOR FLUID IN THE GEARS AND IT HAD BURNED UP ON THE INSIDE. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO TRAUMA OR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND NO LEAK FOUND. MY VAN SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER 2015 WHICH FALLS IN THE TIME FRAME AS THE VANS THAT MADE THE RECALL LIST AND MY COMPLAINT IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:16V461000)ISSUED ON JUNE 24, 2016. I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VAN AND MADE SURE ALL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES WERE KEPT. THIS IS A 3700.00 PROBLEM THAT I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY. THIS IS NOT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR NOR IS IT FROM NEGLECT. THIS IS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR ERROR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN AS I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.

IT APPEARS THERE ARE RECALLS DUE TO BAD HYDRAULIC PUMP IN TRANS BUT THE SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. (RECALL S44/NHTSA 16V-461) I HAVE NO WAY OF VALIDATING THE PRODUCTION DATE OF MY VEHICLE. PLEASE COMPILE AND SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THIS HAZARD.
