NHTSA Complaint #11407125 — 2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2015. I CHECKED THE RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER ONLY RECALLS THE ONES PRODUCED FROM 08/2015 TO 2016. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN 02/0215 SO IT WAS NOT RECALLED. THE TRANSMISSION KEPT GETTING PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR AND SHIFT. IT ALSO GAVE A CODE FOR P0740 TCC WHILE IT IS JUST 80,000+ MILES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR 4 MONTHS AND THE CAR HEATED UP PRETTY BAD WITH BAD SMELL AND SHAKING WHEN SPEEDING UP. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID DODGE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION PUMP THAT FEEDS THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND ALSO CAUSE FAIL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. THIS COULD BE THE REASON FOR THE DAMAGE OF MY TORQUE CONVERTER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE AND HOW I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WITH W VEHICLE JUST TURNED 80,000 MILES AND HAS A FAILED TRANSMISSION AND CAUSES SHAKING MOVEMENT WHEN SPEEDING UP WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN I DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY. PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO DISCUSS FOR RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AS WELL ON TRANSMISSION. THEY ONLY DO THE ONES PRODUCED AFTER AUGUST, 2015 WHICH DOES NOT COVER ENOUGH VEHICLES. MY CAR HAS THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (BUILT ON 02/2015). I ALSO NOTICE A LOT OF OTHER 2015 GRAND CARAVANS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION.
