The problem started when i would idle the vehicle in drive and it acted like it didn't want to go. the engine would just rev up like it wasn't in gear. then while the vehicle was in motion the rpms would rev up super high on its own and then there would be a sudden jerk. now the vehicle won't even go above 30 miles per hour. it's almost like the transmission pump isn't working right.
While driving down the hwy at 60 mph the vehicle began to not accelerate. i had to pull over in the side of the road and place the vehicle in park. i then tried to put the vehicle in drive to advance forward but the vehicle would accelerate but no go faster then 40mph the rpms however we're jumping around like crazy. i was able to drive the vehicle straight to a transmission shop where they looked over the vehicle and determined the tourque converter failed and the whole transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle had 94000 miles.
My 2007 dodge grand caravan se can be easily shifted into gear while in auxiliary power, and it sometimes locks out my brakes, as there is a locked steering wheel you can't steer it and can't turn it on without shifting back to park which can be difficult if the brakes lock. a child could easily set it in gear if you are running the air and you leave the car briefly, i do not have kids but i do run some taxi work in the neighborhood. it could be done anywhere as long as it's in auxiliary power to radio and electrics but not fully on

Driving at 65 mph, there was a lurch in the transmission, and the car came to a halt on the highway. thankfully we had time to pull the vehicle over before it stopped completely. we had it towed to a dodge dealer, where we found out that the transmission pump failed. this failure, not only stopped the car completely, but has a repair ticket of $5,400. this is a known issue for fca, but the pump failure only covers a limited number of vehicles. this pump failure may be effecting more vehicles than initially thought.
There have been several issues with this vehicle all happening within several months. we first had issues with the tire tread, then a hole in the water hose and radiator, a hole in the exhaust manifold. then it was broken pieces in the catalytic converter. now the current issue is either the brakes seized up or the the caliber is stuck and we are currently unable to drive the vehicle.
