WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH A VERY LOUD NOISE AND DUMPED TRANSMISSION FLUID ONTO THE ROADWAY. APPARENTLY, A PIN IN THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD COME LOOSE AND DESTROYED THE HOUSING AND MOST INTERNAL COMPONENTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER MINI VAN TRANSMISSIONS. CHRYSLER HAS CHARGED ME OVER $2500 FOR A REPLACEMENT UNIT SINCE THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE OLD UNIT AS A ?CORE?. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE UNITS AND ADMIT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT MY MINI-VAN IN 1999 WITH 68,000 MILES ON IT, AFTER LOOKING THROUGH THE PAPER WORK THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE I LEARNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN OVERHAULDED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT 36,000 MILES. IN 2001 I HAD ABOUT 84,000 MILES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN, IT COST ME $1800.00 TO HAVE IT RE-BUILT. NOW I HAVE 142,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AGAIN AND I AM LOOKING AT EITHER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH A RE-BUILT ONE FROM CHRYSLER WHICH IS $1699.00 JUST FOR THE TRANSMISSION NOT INCLUDING LABOR, OR $1800.00 - $2200.00 FOR A OVERHAUL. IF THESE TRANSMISSION HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM WHY AREN'T THEY BEING RECALLED?

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
