1997 Chrysler Town And Country Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I went to dmv to have my car inspected and was given a report that stated several parts on my vehicle were recalled. I am trying to find out if vehicle can be serviced for free from dealer because of the defects or will I have to pay for them? Parts listed under recall were rc-j25-09 emissions recall j25 mopar value line catalytic converters my car failed for emissions problems b24-clockspring safety recall - lifetime warranty 895- safety recall fuel rail seals.”

“While in traffic the car jumped to neutral. I pulled off the road and tried to put the car into drive, but it although I could move the lever to drive, the transmission would not shift out of second gear. When stopped it would start in second gear and not shift into third. I crept in traffic with emergency blinkers on to a transmission shop where I left it. Being new years day it was closed.”

“While driving at 65 MPH vehicle jumped out of gear, and the engine revved very high. Consumer stopped the vehicle, and killed the engine. After a minute consumer restarted the vehicle and pulled out. Currently, vehicle would not go out of second gear. Vehicle was taken to a dealer, who determined that a new transmission was needed.”

“During service had transmition oil & filter changed at 69,000 miles. No silver sparkles in old oil noted. At 86,000 compleat trans failure. When pan removed from trans. Chunks of metal noticed in oil!!!!! Warranty did not cover $3,700 to replace trans. Regardless of temp, trans shifts when it wants to and will stall engine in a minute for no reason.”

“Vehicle stalled, and consumer had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Arriving a tschool the transmission failed in traffic. Had to push it into the parking lot, then called tow truck. Contacted nanufacturer after discovering that this was a very common failure, but not recall item.”
