Consumer Description
I purchased the van with 153k on it and could here clunk on transmission engagement but purchased anyway thinking I could find parts a repair. Turned out no parts availble so I drove until it failed at 156k. When it failed the vehicle lost motive power and would roll away in park. I paid 9k for a new unit 9/30/21 and after 6 bmonths began to hear the same noise. I notified and dropped off vehical on 3 seperate occasions the last 12/30/22 and was told (normal operation) The transmission failed in exact same way on 2/2/23 with only 25k miles transmission and 182k on vehicle and currently problem is not resovled as the chrysler dealer I towed it to refused to repair under warrenty and Ihad to two to croton pouint auto park chrysler dealer where it currently is and problem is as of yet not resolved. Leading up to the failure the vehicle would roll in excess of 4 inches on inclines before park engaged (unless steep enough auto brake engaged) I have a feeling that this problem is widespread (chrysler has the transmission on restriction) and would like to know if other people are having this issue as it is quite dangerous seeing as the car could roll loose from park.
