While driving this vehicle it began to lose power and would not accelerate when I pushed the gas and then the vehicle would jump from 1 to 5 rpms. Took to dodge dealership they had to rebuild the transmission due to bad transmission pump.
Transmission pump faliure in the middle of driving (on rr. 47), had to proceed to a spot to stop, making a left turn at a green light not knowing if it would actually accelerate,now I am told by a mechanic that whenever the pump heats up we will lose all gears...
The first thing to go wrong with this vehicle was the television stopped working and they fixed it once and it went out again but I did not take it back because it would have cost me out of pocket .the next thing to go wrong was the driver side back door would not open they had to keep it for a day or two for that. The next thing to go wrong was the cylinder head they took a week to fix it but the car still had weak engine performance and engine misfire so I took it back for them to check it again and they could not find anything wrong with it. The windshield wiper squirter is also broken. The next thing to go wrong was the gear shifter, the car would not move and was stuck in drive with key stuck in the ignition we had just gotten in the car .I tried to turn the car off and back on but the engine would not crank. I had to have it towed in twice and rent a car on my own insurance doesn't provide rental unless you have a accident. When that happened my family of six was in the car. I had to pay for everything out of pocket. The problems started after 2 years and the car is only three years old and four more years to pay for it .I was advise by an agent at dodge jeep chrysler tallahassee fl that if I continued to pay my warranty would be extended.

While driving along on the highway on a bridge the vehicle started to buck and jerk could not select any gears transmission was slipping a loud whining high pitch sound came from the transmission area check engine symbol came on I managed to get vehicle off the road. I had vehicle towed to dealership 41425 miles on 2016 dodge grand caravan sxt. Vehicle was dealer serviced and owners manual was signed at required service times. Date 5 august 2019. Dealer replaced torque converter, transmission pump, transmission filter, transmission fluid. My VIN did not come up on any recalls. Drive train warranty should be extended to 100,000 miles on these vans as a minimum to protect the consumers.
I was in motion on a county road when I believe the transmission began messing up. Upon research I found there was a recall regarding the transmission in 2016 dodge caravans. I placed the vehicle in "drive" and while it shifted from 1st to 2nd it revved up to 3500 RPM before shifting. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the vehicle would not shift and revved until about 8000 RPM before finally shifting. I stopped and placed the vehicle in "reverse" and as I tried to accelerate, the gear would not catch until approximately 3000 RPM.
The transmission is all messed up. When you get in and start up the van and put it in gear it acts like you are feathering a manual transmission and it will slowly start to take off. When sifting through the gears it will sometimes slip, the rpms will rev up and down then jump into gear. Sometimes when it down shifts it will jerk when we are stopping, I have learned that this is call a bump stop by the techs.also if we have 3 or 4 people in the van and we try and back up it jerks violently, it feels like you are on a bucking bronco. I have taken it to the dealer, audobon chrysler in henderson ky. They keep telling me that they can't duplicate the problem, and that their are no recalls on this van. It's funny that I can go on line and find all kinds of recalls about the power train and many other problems with the 2016 dodge grand caravans, but the dealer can't seem to find any recalls??? I can't recall the exact date when we purchased the van, I would have to look it up,it was about a year ago and we are still fighting with the dealer as of 10/24/2019 because the problem is ongoing and getting worse??

I bought my 2016 dodge grand caravan in february of 2018 with 98000 miles on it. Here I am 1 year and 5 months later having to replace the transmission at 108000 miles. I was driving and without warning on a city street my rpms were going up to 6000 but my van wasn't accelerating. I almost got rear ended and luckily none of my children were with me, especially my 7 week old baby!! The transmission repair shop that I had it towed to said it wasn't due to the pump that was recalled, that apparently did not apply to my VIN, but the inside of my transmission was breaking apart internally. When they took the pan off the transmission there were pieces of metal laying in it. And after all this my check engine light never came on.
