2015 Chrysler Town and Country transmission problems

Filed Jul 26, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · MI

Transmission completely failed and had to be risky rebuilt. I was just driving down the highway and the transmission went into limp mode and I came to a fast slow down as it dropped the gearing. Also have noticed a huge issue with electronics putting me into a limp mode with wipers on headlights wont shut off, lose dash lights and speedometer with no blinkers or hazard lights. This left me in a very unsafe place as I had no way to tell other drivers where I was going or see how fast im going. Could have caused a huge accident 😕. Please look into this as there are many issues of this happening.

I purchased the vehicle yesterday. On drive home I noticed that it stop pulling. I took foot off of gas and reapply and the vehicle picked up speed again. I got home and checked recalls for this year vehicle and noticed a safety recall for the transmission. When I called dealership today and gave the VIN # they said there were no recalls for my vehicle. But my vehicle is performing exactly like the safety recall reported. Person I bought it from said she's been the only owner. So now I'm going to have to find a shop to repair the transmission because I refuse to drive a vehicle that's unsafe. Why was my van not included in the recall when the recall list included my year make and model?

Oil housing has been replaced 4 times. Since 64k miles, now at 112k. There needs to be a recall. There are so many similar occurances. This is a huge fire hazzard.

Noticed the vehicle was leaking fluid. The vehicle temperature GAUGE was also running HOT. Went to a garage on 9 18 2024 and was told the 2 transmission hose lines were leaking and needed replacing. Was a significant leak. Was not able to use the vehicle due to HOT temperature gauge and only able to drive the vehicle a short distance and leaking fluids.
