Questions About 2014 Chrysler Town & Country’s Transmission

Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chrysler? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
How much can my Chrysler tow? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
Does my Town & Country's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Chrysler Town & Country transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Chrysler. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.

When I’m driving, I’ve noticed that it’s become tougher to switch my gears and I’m worried I’ll have to replace my transmission. What does a Chrysler Town and Country transmission replacement cost?

Answer provided by

A Chrysler Town and Country transmission replacement costs upwards of $3,500. The transmission is one of the most important parts of your car, hence the sky-high cost of replacing it.

But, before you start looking in your couch cushions for spare change, visit a mechanic to ensure your transmission needs to be replaced. If it’s not working properly, that problem could be deveral way less costly things to fix. A small leak, for example, costs only $150 to repair.

Transmission failure, repaired under lifetime factory warranty. Zone rep insisted on dealer rebuild rather than reman replacement. Reman was in stock at local dealer, flat rate 11 hour time. Should have taken two days. Car was shuffled to two dealers twice and then a third before one of them was authorized to rebuild. Took over 5 months out of service time. I own 5 Chrysler minivans and 5 RAM diesels. Loyal Chrysler customer since 1970. Will not buy another Chrysler product or recommend one ever again. Totally unacceptable treatment for warranty service. Was never allowed to talk to zone rep or contact him in any fashion. Three letters to Chairman of Chrysler went unanswered. Just completely unacceptable behavior by the firm. There is no Chrysler anymore, it's now Stellantis (Peugeot). If that's how Peugeot treated their U.S. customers I understand why they vanished from the U>S. market decades ago. They appear to be attempting to replicate that performance. I like the products, but cannot tolerate such treatment.

100700 mi	right front axle
