 Description of the problemWas 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 caravans had transmission recalls, but not vehicle wide. I am looking for chrysler to step up and resolve this issue.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?
