I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY VAN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SPORADICALLY AND THEN JUST STOPPED MOVING ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STUCK ON A BUSY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A GARAGE, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE PUMP HAD GONE OUT.

VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND STARTED MAKING A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE THAT WOULD SPEED UP WITH THE SPEED OF THE CAR IN ADDITION TO THAT THE RPM SHOOTS UP BUTVEHICLE STRUGGLES TO SPEED UP, TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT, THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE GOING OUT AND IS GOING TO COST MORE TO FIX THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. ALSO THE AIR BAG IN THE PASSENGER HEAD REST EXPLODED EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL MECHANICALLY OPEN BUT NOT SHUT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS FOR ONLY BEING 3 YEARS OLD.

THE TRANSMISSION IS GIVING A LOW PRESSURE CODE P0868 IN LINE WITH OTHER RECALLS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I AM HAVING TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE PROBLEMS WHERE NOTICE IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

SEATBELT ALARM FOR DRIVERS SEAT KEEPS GOING OFF WHEN DRIVING EVEN THOUGH IT'S SECURELY ON. OTHER TIMES A BELL DINGS ONCE TO INDICATE SOMETHING ELSE BUT NOTHING COMES UP ON DASHBOARD INDICATING WHAT IT IS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND NOT IN MOTION & STILL IN PARK ALSO. THIS IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. BRINGING IT IN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE OFF THE ROAD AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED HER SPOUSE AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MURRAY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (15160 US-301 S, STARKE, FL 32091, (904) 964-3200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSAXLE OIL PUMP NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE EVENTS DESCRIBED TAKE PLACE ON THE LOT OF AN AUTO AUCTION. ON 11/27/18 A COUPLE CO-WORKERS OF MINE APPROACH ME REGARDING LOOKING AT OUR SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE TO SEE SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR. WE TAKE A GANDER AND WHAT WE SEE SHOCKS US. A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER. WHEN IT WAS PULLED ONTO THE LOT, THEY BEGAN CHECKING IT IN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, IT WAS PARKED, EMERGENCY BRAKE PULLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PARK. MY CO-WORKERS GO INTO OUR GARAGE, LEAVING THE VAN IDLING IN THE LOT. THE SECURITY FOOTAGE SHOWS THAT, EVEN THOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS PULLED AND VAN PUT INTO IDLE, THE VAN STARTED ROLLING ON IT'S OWN. IT ROLLED ITSELF ALL THE WAY INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON OUR LOT. WHEN THE VAN WAS FOUND, IT WAS NO LONGER IN PARK, BUT IN EITHER NEUTRAL OR DRIVE. THE PARKING BREAK, WAS NO LONGER SET. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO FOOTAGE UPON REQUEST.

TRANSMISSION LOST POWER CAUSING MY CAR TO STOP IN TRAFFIC. THE ONLY WAY IT WORKS IS IF IT COOLS DOWN AND THEN IT STILL ONLY WORKS FOR A FEW MINUTES.
