WE TOLD CHRIS W ISSUE WAS UNRESOLVED. CHRIS SAID DRIVE IT 100 MILES FOR THE VEHICLE TO RE-LEARN CORRECT SHIFTING PATTERN. DROVE 100+ MILES & IT STILL LURCHES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING - ESP AROUND 40 MPH, WITH 2-1/4 RPMS, THEN IT FLIES OVER 3 RPMS & QUICKLY DROPS TO 1K RPM. IT HAPPENS AT OTHER SPEEDS BUT NOT AS OFTEN. ALSO ENGINE REVS AND RECEDES SEVERAL TIMES CLIMBING HILLS. 10/1/18 7:30 APPT AT HILLSBORO CHRYSLER TO RE-CHECK RUMBLE STRIP EFFECT & SHIFTING ISSUE AFTER DRIVING 100+ MILES SINCE LAST VISIT.

DURING THIS PHONE CONVERSATION, CHRIS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NO ERROR MESSAGES COME UP WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER - SAID THEIR COMPUTER IS NOT DETECTING ANY PROBLEMS AND HE SAID TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT TILL LIGHTS COME ON OR ENGINE FAILS. HE SAID IF THAT HAPPENS, CALL CHRYSLER FOR TOWING, AS IT IS COVERED UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. VAN HAS 41,871 MILES ON IT & CONTINUES TO SHIFT ROUGHLY & REV & RECEDE MANY TIMES GOING UPHILL, & THERE ARE STILL MANY TIMES WHEN IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS.

I HAVE A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY CHRYSLER. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 50MPH, ON SEPT. 3, 2018, ON THE FEEDER ROAD ALONGSIDE THE FREEWAY, MY VAN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE VAN AND IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON TO THE STREET OF MY RESIDENCE BECAUSE I WAS NOT FAR. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO MAKE IT HOME ONLY GOING ABOUT 3-5MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME BECAUSE MY SON WAS IN THE CAR AND OTHER CARS WERE ALMOST ABOUT TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I ONLY HAVE 69044 MILES ON THE VAN AND I MAINTAIN MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VAN THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. THE TECH SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THIRSTY FOR FLUID IN THE GEARS AND IT HAD BURNED UP ON THE INSIDE. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO TRAUMA OR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND NO LEAK FOUND. MY VAN SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER 2015 WHICH FALLS IN THE TIME FRAME AS THE VANS THAT MADE THE RECALL LIST AND MY COMPLAINT IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:16V461000)ISSUED ON JUNE 24, 2016. I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VAN AND MADE SURE ALL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES WERE KEPT. THIS IS A 3700.00 PROBLEM THAT I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY. THIS IS NOT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR NOR IS IT FROM NEGLECT. THIS IS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR ERROR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN AS I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.
