When driving in a construction zone on I-71 North a loud whining noise came from the front left of the vehicle it then had difficulty accelerating. I had my foot pressing hard on the gas just to get to 60 mph. The RPM was all the way to 6. the vehicle would slow and speed up with a jerk. Once I arrived to work I parked the car. When I turned the van back on my check engine light came on. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who then had it towed to another location that was able to repair the transmission. I am currently awaiting the full diagnostic. I religiously maintain my vehicle to avoid catastrophic failures such as the one I am having now. So disappointed in the performance of this vehicle as it has been in the shop several time since I have owned it with problems from electrical issues, the side doors unable to open, and oil pain cracking.

Was planning trip from St. Catharines Ontario to tyler Texas and took van in for oil change and 40 point "peace of mind" inspection to my local dealer where always serviced. Emphasized I wanted to address any problems, if any, before I started trip and not while I was travelling. I was within 30 miles of destination in Texas, when stopped at a intersection and transmission jumped when accelerating and heard a grinding noise and pulled over.no warning lights at this time just grinding noise. Had vehicle towed to local Chrysler dealer. See service invoice included. Transmission service done the next day and was given the ok. Everything fine during our stay. On our return trip from Texas to Ontario, no problems until we arrived in columbus Ohio, 18 hours later, to re-fuel and when pulling away from gas station vehicle jumped, heard grinding noise again, and engine yellow warning light came on. We did not drive further and had vehicle towed to local Chrysler dealer and did computor scan which indicated transmission problems. See enclosed service invoice. Vehicle could not be driven at this time. Six hours from home. Decided to rent a truck and car dolly and towed van home to our dealer for second opinion. Needs new or rebuilt transmission. This is not acceptable for a vehicle that has only approximately 81,000 miles(or 135,000 km), especially since 2015/2016 Dodge Grand Caravan had transmission recalls, but not vehicle wide. I am looking for Chrysler to step up and resolve this issue.
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.
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.
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.
