THIS TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED TWICE, ONCE AT 46000 AND NEW AT 67000. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ON ALL THEIR VANS, THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO MAKE SOME KIND OF RECALL OR SOMEONE SHOULD START A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR FAULTY PROBLEMS.

I WAS HEADING HOME FROM WORK, WHEN I FELT MY MINIVAN START TO LURCH AND SLOW DOWN AT THE SAME TIME. I BARELY MADE IT HOME. I HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NEXT DAY AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THE CLUTCH PLATES WERE FROZEN TOGETHER AND I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T EXPLODE OR FREEZE-UP(CAUSUNG ACCIDENTS) LIKE SOME OTHERS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN. I LOOKED INTO THIS AND THERE ARE MORE THAN A FEW HORROR STORIES ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING PLYMOUTH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS EXPLODING, SOME WITH LESS THAN 300 MILES. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING MINIVANS WHICH ARE MOSTLY A FAMILY VEHICLE. THIS FIRST EPISODE COST ME $2100 AND THE SECOND EPISODE THE SAME AT 167000 MILES.SHOULDN'T THIS PROBLEM, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS INHERENT TO ALL CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH/DODGE AUTOMATIC TRANMISSIONS, BE ADDRESSED AT LEAST FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, IF NOT FROM A DEFECTIVE STANDPOINT?*AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN A SOURCE OF NUMEROUS NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS PRESENTLY LOCATED IN PROVENCE (FRANCE) WHERE PARTS AND LABOR ARE VERY HARD TO COME BY.....
