Filed Feb 11, 2026 · Transmission · 98,000 miles · PA

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where a transmission flush was performed; however, the failure persisted, and the vehicle started stalling after the repair. An independent mechanic was informed about the failure, and the contact was informed that the transmission fluid flush would take a while to take effect. The contact was informed to monitor the issue to see if the failure continued or worsened. The failure persisted, and the vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who diagnosed it with transmission failure. After negotiating with the mechanic about what to do with the vehicle, the mechanic suggested that replacing the torque converter would repair the transmission. The contact agreed to replace the torque converter. Less than a week after the repair, the check engine warning light was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, and DTC: P0868 (Transmission Fluid Pressure Low) was retrieved. The vehicle was taken back to the original mechanic, and the mechanic was informed about the fault code. The contact was then informed that the transmission oil cooler hose assembly needed to be replaced, and the contact had the part replaced. While the contact's husband was driving home after the repair, the vehicle stalled upon approaching a stop sign. The driver continued driving, and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the local mechanic, and DTC: P0868 was retrieved. Upon investigation, the contact discovered the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 16V461000 (Power Train); and associated the recall with the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

There is a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. A mechanic said it’s a rocket arm failure. He said there are problems with them and were recalled in 2014. After researching the problem, it appears that the problem extends past the 2014 model year. You tube has hundreds of repair videos for this engine. The mechanic said that the problem will only get worse and can cause the engine to stall and miss and it will eventually freeze up causing a possible accident. Please investigate this. I have maintained this vehicle well with oil changes every 3000 miles. Thank you.

Two blocks from home my Pentastar oil filter housing & cooler line broke and there was oil all over and the car stalled just before my driveway. Could not start it and had a towing company take to Meekhof Tire & Service where I have my work done. Safety was ok. No inspected other than Meekhof checking to see what was wrong. There were no warning lights on dash. Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and never did a recall. So I had to get a used 3.6lV6 engine.

Car shakes and stalls when coming to a stop. No lights on the dash. Took it to a dealer and found it is the sensors in the transmission. These should not break on a van that has under 100,000 miles.

Several times over the past few weeks the van has just shut off while driving. This has happened at low speeds and at city driving speeds. The engine just completely shuts off and the van loses power brakes/steering/acceleration with no warning, no rough running, no sounds, and no check engine light. The mechanic cannot find anything wrong with it but the problem continues at random intervals. This is potentially very dangerous and even worse is that there is no evident problem.

Last month when driving my van started to stall when driving came to a stop at a light and the engine jerked, light turned green started to drive and it wouldn't go over 30 then all of a sudden it speeded up and the started making a weird sound pulled, off into a parking lot wasn't able to get it all the way in a parking spot. Called to have it towed. The transmission blew and it only has 65,000 miles. That cost me alot to get a transmission. Now the seatbelt on drivers side will not lock into place. Which I don't know what to do with that because you have to wear a seatbelt. When I bought this van brand new I had a lot of electrical issues kept taking it to the dealer they could never find anything. Lights would dim when driving, they was suppose to hook a machine up to it and it would register what was going on, this was requested by Chrysler when I couldn't get anywhere with the dealer ship. Chrysler set it up I go to the dealer and they don't have that equipment so they said they couldn't do anything, called Chrysler back told them was suppose to hear from someone never did. I feel this van is a death trap. The side doors act like they don't want to close at times. I have kept up on regular maintenance on the van. I just feel that when you pay $30,000.00 for a vehicle and take care of it things should last longer. I know it's 7 years old but low mileage and taken care of.

The engine turns off while driving at freeway speeds for no reason. It loses power increasing the risk of crash because there is no steering power. Also when coming to a stop, it begins to idle very rough then the engine dies. No check engine light on. Yes problem has been confirmed by 2 separate transmission mechanics. This is the same problem as Chrysler recall number S44 (transmission pump failure). But my manufacture date missed the recall by about 5 months.
