 Description of the problemOur 2017 dodge grand caravan gt suffered a torque converter failure at 63,095 miles while driving in gear at approximately 50 mph, creating a whining sound while moving until we were able to get the vehicle to a stop, and then shuddering and revving high without power while we moved it briefly to a safe location to park it for towing. The vehicle had to be towed to a dealer because the transmission was inoperative. Upon diagnosis, dodge dealership confirmed torque convertor had failed and that the material from the transmission had to be disassembled and overhauled to remove the material from the transmission. We were very fortunate to have been traveling at a low speed and near a parking lot that we could pull of into and immediately stop the vehicle, as i had my wife and two children in the car. Dodge powertrain warranty extends to 60,000 miles and does not cover this repair under a warranty repair (3,095 miles out of warranty).
