I was driving up a hill on a bridge and all of a sudden I loss power to my wheels of the van. I was almost rear ended by 3 different cars because I could not drive any further. I was left stranded in the middle of a bridge. I got the vehicle towed to a mechanic and the diagnosis was that the transmission pump inside the transmission had gone out. I was told that my exact year and vehicle fit a transmission pump recall for the exact issue. After calling Chrysler's recall hotline, they did a search of my VIN and sad that my VIN number did not match for a transmission recall. And they told me there's nothing they could do about it. After researching online I have found that the 2015 Dodge Caravan did have recalls for the transmission pump in 2016.the recall centre told me that it was VIN number specific on the recall and that mine was not going to be covered.

While driving my van, the RPM's would increase, but there was no power coming from the engine. I was unable to accelerate. I pulled over, tried to put the van in park, the engine shifted extremely rough before going into park. The auto body shop is quoting me for over $5,000 to repair the transmission.

The transmission of the Dodge Grand Caravan 2015. I checked the recall and the manufacturer only recalls the ones produced from 08/2015 to 2016. My car was produced in 02/0215 so it was not recalled. The transmission kept getting problem with the gear and shift. It also gave a code for P0740 tcc while it is just 80,000+ miles. I have been driving it for 4 months and the car heated up pretty bad with bad smell and shaking when speeding up. I took it to a shop and they said Dodge has problems with the transmission pump that feeds the torque converter, and also cause fail hydraulic pressure. This could be the reason for the damage of my torque converter. I don't know where and how I should report this to get it fixed because it makes no sense to me with w vehicle just turned 80,000 miles and has a failed transmission and causes shaking movement when speeding up which could be dangerous when I drive on a highway. Please contact the manufacturer to discuss for recall on these vehicles as well on transmission. They only do the ones produced after August, 2015 which does not cover enough vehicles. My car has that transmission problem (built on 02/2015). I also notice a lot of other 2015 Grand Caravan have the same problems with the transmission.

Car purchased brand new March 2015. February 2021 at approximately 93,000 miles extensive oil leaking damage. Car is leaking oil from the oil filter housing unit including the gaskets around. At this point, the correct part is on back order from Chrysler, per the dealer where purchased the car, I am number 28,000 plus in the line to receive this part. There is no eta for when the part will be available. The van leaks when parked and in drive. I got an oil change end of December 2020 and was down to two quarts of oil in a month time and 1000 miles since oil change. The car is now un driveable and Chrysler is doing nothing to assist with getting a loaner vehicle.

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 Caravan had transmission recalls, but not vehicle wide. I am looking for Chrysler to step up and resolve this issue.

I changed my battery in my van and now the ac doesn't work and it seems like I smell coolant burning and when I'm driving between 40 to 50 it's very sluggish. And I had to have an auto shop check my transmission fluid cuz it felt like my transmission was slipping. And when they checked it they said I was really low on transmission fluid but they don't know where the transmission fluid going.

Loss of power and whining noise

- Palestine, TX, USA

While driving down the hwy at 60 mph the vehicle began to not accelerate. I had to pull over in the side of the road and place the vehicle in park. I then tried to put the vehicle in drive to advance forward but the vehicle would accelerate but no go faster then 40mph the rpms however we're jumping around like crazy. I was able to drive the vehicle straight to a transmission shop where they looked over the vehicle and determined the tourque converter failed and the whole transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had 94000 miles.

The problem started when I would idle the vehicle in drive and it acted like it didn't want to go. The engine would just rev up like it wasn't in gear. Then while the vehicle was in motion the rpms would rev up super high on its own and then there would be a sudden jerk. Now the vehicle won't even go above 30 miles per hour. It's almost like the transmission pump isn't working right.
