TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING FROM FRONT PUMP SEAL AND FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL OF THE CARAVAN,VOYAGER AND TOWN & COUNTRY'S DO THIS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED CORRECTLY. *JB
WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL UNTIL THE SPEED DECREASED AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY DEFAULTED INTO 2ND GEAR. *NLM
VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK GEAR AND IDLING WHEN IT ROLLED IN REVERSE WITH A CHILD RESTRAINED IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT BEFORE CRASHING THROUGH A FENCE, AND BEING STOPPED BY A PILE OF WOOD. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE. *AK *SLC
TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED . PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / ATTACHMENTS.*AK
TRANSMISSION (THIS MODEL A604 4 SPEED) IS KNOWN TO HAVE HIGH FAILURE RATE BY PUBLIC AND CHRYSLER. THE FIRST TIME IT FAILED WAS ON A WEEKEND AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO AAMCO TO HAVE REPAIRED. THEY USED OEM PARTS TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. THE SECOND TIME WAS SAME FAILURE AS THE FIRST. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO MAKE RESTITUTION BECAUSE OF AAMCO FIXING THE CHRSLER CAUSED PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN. THIS HAD BEEN THE SECOND TIME THAT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE FIXED. DEALERAND CONSUMER AGREED TO SPLIT THE COST FOR THE SECOND REPAIR, ALTHOUGH THE CONSUMER THOUGHT THAT THE ESTIMATE WAS TOO HIGH. *AK *ML
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 61,000 MILES. NLM
WE PURCHASED OUR MINI VAN IN NOVEMBER 1996 AND HAD THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILURE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM "REPAIRED" 3 TIMES MORE IN THE 3 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED IT. IN APRIL 1996, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE ABS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. WHEN WE PURCHASED IT, THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT TELL US THIS NOR DID CHRYSLER CORP. WE FOUND OUT AFTER OUR ABS FAILED WHEN DRIVING. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT THEN FAILED AGAIN 6 MONTHS AFTER THEY "FIXED" THE ABS IN FEBRUARY 2000. THEY WILL NOT DO THE REPAIR NOW FOR UNDER $1600--WE DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE PAYING ANYTHING! I BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF A CONSUMER FRAUD FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY TOLD US OF NO RECALLS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE WHEN THERE WERE SEVERAL ISSUED ON THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MODEL. WE WANT CHRYSLER TO REFUND OUR PURCHASE PRICE AND COST OF REPAIRS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. WE DRIVE AROUND WITH OUR 5 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND CANNOT RISK ANOTHER ABS FAILURE. THE ASST TO THE CEO AT DAIMLER CHRYSLER WAS OF NO HELP STATING, "WE DON'T MAKE OUR VEHICLES TO INCONVENIENCE YOU." WHEN IT IS MORE THAN BEING "INCONVENIENCED" IT IS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US IS MUCH APPRECIATED AS WE WILL NOT GIVE UP UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *AK

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, MY VAN STARTED SHIFTING FUNNY. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GOING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. IF WE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, THE COMPUTER WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THE VAN WOULD RUN FINE FOR A WHILE. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN WE DECIDED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED(BECAUSE EVERY ONE WE KNOW WITH CHRYSLER VANS HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT SOME TIME), AND THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE COMPUTER JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET,SO WE HAD IT DONE. THE VAN RAN WELL FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS AND THEN THE TROUBLES STARTED UP AGAIN ONLY WORSE. WE WERE HAVING INCIDENTS OF NON-SHIFTING ALMOST EVERY TIME WE DROVE THE VAN, SO IT IS NOW PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND HASN'T MOVED FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED, BUT WANTED TO SEE IF CHRYSLER HAD ANY RECALLS OUT ON THESE VANS.
