| I had to replace the transmission on this chrysler -- people stop me in malls, supermarkets and ask me if i've had trouble with the transmission as they have -- all the way back to 1990 everyone i've spoken to that has had a chrysler van, new yorker, dynasty, etc. has had major transmissions problems and/or has had to replace the transmission. in speaking with my local aamco transmission reps and continental transmission rep (a buffalo store) -- chrysler cars are their number 1 repair. i had occasion to speak with the vp of customer service for aamco at the executive offices in pa -- he also reiterated that chrysler is their number 1 repair. this should be looked in to. with all of the chrysler repairs i've heard of just in the buffalo area alone, nationally their has to be thousands of consumers who have incurred a major expense. please please investigate this. when i purchased this car from an elderly man in 7/2000 it only had 19,025 miles on the car and it was in showroom condition. around 21,000 miles the car started to have hesitation problems and i didn't know it was the transmission. one local buffalo transmission shop indicated that the computers operating the transmissions were bad and they've had to sell many of them. thank you and i really appreciate an investigation.*ak | |||
