“The transmission has know issues of slippage. This slippage caused me to roll backwards at an major intersection and almost cause a accident. This Chrysler Town And Country has had hundreds of complaints in the last few years but this type of malfunction due to the slippage on the transmission could result in fatalities.

NHTSA complaint #11079070, filed 2018-03, 95,000 miles“My van started to have problems with the RPM, surging from 2 to 5 and then to 6 or 7 RPM with speeds ranging from 40mph to 65 MPH. The van also sort of stalls for seconds which makes it terrifying. We took the van to bob caldwell in columbus ohio three times to repair the issue and they updated the software, added fluid to the transmission and allegedly drove the car for 60 miles yet couldn't duplicate the issue. All the times that this has happened the car was running. …”

NHTSA complaint #10523014, filed 2013-07, 47,668 miles“Reverse slipping / shudder transmission slips and shudders when in reverse on even a slight incline and sometimes even on level ground. On steeper uphill grade it is very hard, almost impossible to reverse. I took it to the dealer. They said they found no problem and tests showed everything according to spec. (it would be true if testing reverse on a flat surface). Also, most occurrences I have experienced have been just after starting the vehicle (when parts / fluid are cold). …”
NHTSA complaint #10692806, filed 2015-03, 40,000 miles“When backing up an slightly inclined driveway my new 2011 Chrysler Town And Country (1500 miles) started shuddering like the transmission was failing. In order to back up I had to accelerate beyond what was safe for the tight area I was in. I road tested it on a steep incline and was not able to back up with out a lot of loud noise and shuddering. I took it to my dealer and they agreed that it shuddered when backing up. The dealer tried a new one on the lot and it did the same thing. …”
