Asked by GuruDGSSQ Feb 09, 2019 at 10:04 AM about the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country Limited FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When the pcm was replaced along with other parts, the car worked okay for
about 10,000 miles, then the exact same problem started again. This time they
said no power going to the trans and I need the tipm replaced. Could there be
something that they're overlooking? What happens after the next 10k miles, no
other issues except blind spot does not work. New battery.

2012 3.6L Dodge Grand Caravan. Sooo I have replaced the transmission with a remanufactured Transmission (from street smart), a rebuilt TIPM (from MAK’s), and a rebuilt PCM (from flagship 1 [horrible customer service BTW]) and now a new engine wiring harness from (From moparpart.co) replaces the tranny in August drove from so cal to Laughlin ~800 miles it was fine. Then acted up when we got back replaced the tipm fine for about 2 weeks then the pcm about 2 more weeks and now currently replacing the wiring harness. All the remanufactured parts all have warranties so I’m not worried about that, I’m just tired of this problem. It is in limp mode or goes to limp mode quite a bit. If I happen to be in the freeway instead of going to limp mode it’ll just shift to neutral normally can pull over wait about 5 minutes and it’ll be fine for a little bit (tops about 15 miles) car has about 109k miles on it. At time shifts HARD almost clunking, RPMs are high on first start around 1250-1500 have adjusted multiple time, I wait until it’s around 750rpm before I’ll shift out of park on any start. So if I ever fix it all it should be more then great since all the majors have been replaced now. But I’m just tired of trying to figure it out. Does anyone have any other recommendations? Any other places to look? TIA
