2015 Dodge Grand Caravan Vehicle speed control Problems

“I changed my battery in my van and now the AC doesn't work and it seems like I smell coolant burning and when I'm driving between 40 to 50 it's very sluggish. And I had to have an auto shop check my transmission fluid cuz it felt like my transmission was slipping. And when they checked it they said I was really low on transmission fluid but they don't know where the transmission fluid going.”

“This van has been to the dealership at lest 8 times since new. The throttle response is really bad. From stop lights and in slow moving areas driving less then 10mph it will lose almost all throttle control. It will either be full throttle or none. When passing sometimes nothing will happen when you press on the gas. I've had times in town that it will just stick on full throttle as well. Also have a problem with it rolling backwards out of control when in drive we have to all ways have our foot on the breaks. The van once rolled backwards down a hill with my wife and kids in it. …”

“I was informed this vehicle has been recalled for a transmission (recall reference s44) on 06/24/2016 and it has required a transmission replacement, costing $4k in july 19, 2019. On june 20, 2020, while driving on a highway, the vehicle suddenly made a loud revving sound, RPM increased nearly to max, acceleration became inoperable, and caused active traffic delays - similar to what had occurred a year before when the transmission was replaced.”

“Etm was stuck merging onto a highway while accelerating. Vehicle accelerated itself. Had to pull over and turn the car off to get it to reset. Vehicle would would redline RPM's while braking. Happened approx. November 2015. Hasn't happened again. Then a couple months later the clockspring behind the steering wheel went out rendering the horn and all steering controls (volume, cruise control, etc.) useless. It also caused the driver side airbag light to remain constantly on.”

“I drove over a pot whole that hit the transmission. The transmission was replaced but 3 different times each one contuines to fail. Before the transmission incident. My car would lose power while driving. There was knocking noise from the engine. The transmission shifted slow before as well. But after the transmission being changed out there's been leakes power lost again and more knocking. The car been through insurance already.”
