NHTSA Complaint #11493968 — 2019 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

Transmission failed while driving on the highway without prior warning and the vehicle had to be towed home. The vehicle had limited power left to pull off the highway for safety though. What I hear when I start and rev the engine a bit is high pitched whining noise and noise of separated or lose components coming from inside the transmission. Research has shown me that this same drive train has been running in Chrysler and Dodge vehicles for about ten years now and has seen recalls on the transmission for some earlier model years like 2015, 2016, … . This is a big safety issue given that this vehicle seats seven people (families rely on this van for transportation) and therefore Chrysler should add this vehicle drive train to the recall list ASAP. After failing the the check engine light popped up and running it on the generic scan tool code P083B showed up.
