Description of the problem	I was driving home at night, around 35mph. All of a sudden the transmission and rpms went off the charts, all the way up to 7000rpms, any sort of acceleration by tapping the gas pedal caused the vehicle to malfunction. I had my daughter in the car and tried to get pulled off to the side of the road and get the vehicle stopped. Once i got it stopped it was undrivable at this point and had to call a tow service. My local mechanic deemed it to be the transmission pump went out while i was driving. No warning, no lights, nothihg. Now the van is at the dodge dealer for inspection. I was told that grand caravans had a recall on transmission pumps between the dates of july 31, 2015 and april 18,2016 (mine was manufactrured october 2015) even though it falls in those dates, my vin# was not attached to the recall. (s44 is the recall number, also the nhtsa campaign number is 16v461000) this was a serious malfunction, and could have been more serious if i would have been driving just a little faster. At one point, the vehicle kept accelerating without the gas pedal being pushed. We were lucky i was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road. Once the van was shut off, there was a burning odor coming from the vehicle. I have looked and found several others with the same issue as mine, who were not included in the recall and should of been. Hopefully an investigation will open soon, before someone gets seriously injured.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
