On august 11 ,2004 our 1995 dodge caravan failed to pick up speed on the nj turnpike, while going to newark airport. although there were no injuries or accidents, it was stop and go on the way home at night. the car was purchased in july 1995 from suburban dodge in metuchen, nj. i took the car to the dealer (now mcdonagh dodge) to have the vehicle diagnosed. they said that it was a transmission failure. the car does not run properly now. i have not had it repaired because it is an expensive repair. in addition the ac compressor also needs to be replaced. according to the dealer if the compressor is not replaced a belt may break and i could lose power to the steering. these problems should not happen for a vehicle that has only 94,000 miles. *jb | |||

After driving about 350 miles back from a trip, transmission failed. was driving down the interstate when traffic started to slow down and come to a stop (this was not a sudden stop). i tried to slow down but the vehicle lurched forward and started making grinding noises. i had to steer to the side of the road to avoid hitting the car in front of me. there was no indication of trouble prior to this during the trip. while in idle, there was no grinding noise. when we started to move again the engine would not shift and started making grinding noises. i had the vehicle towed to the dealer who told me the entire transmission was ruined and needed to be replaced. there is only 67,000 mile on the vehicle. dealer charged almost $3,000 to put in a rebuilt transmission. when i picked it up, the service shop was very rude. when asked if it was normal for this to happen and if this was the kind of quality one could expect from dodge, the serviceman said he didn't know and acted like he didn't care. he said to call the 800 number if i wasn't happy. when i called the 800 number, the person i talked to acted like he didn't care and basically tried to tell me it was because i did not have my vehicle serviced properly. i told him the car was properly maintained and the transmission fluid had been changed july 1st. he told me that if i brought it to places like jiffy lube to have the transmission fluid changed or if i brought it to other places for maintenance that they did not do a good job and did not do it properly. i asked if there were any other complaints regarding transmission failures and was told there were none. this is not the first time i have had problems with the transmission. i have had an air sensor go out (which caused the vehicle to be stuck in second gear). the vehicle still does not seem to be shifting properly. it now whines when driving in heavy traffic and will probably have to go back to the dealership.*ak | |||

Dealer was going to replace the transmission, but after several hours of labor, they decided to replace a differential pin on the transmission after only 52,000 miles. dealer would not cover cost of repair. it sounds like many people have had similar problem, is there going to be a recall? also, the dealer has recharged the air conditioner 3 times within the past 3 years. each time they charged me for it. i find it hard to believe that a charge would last only one summer. *cb | |||

In may, 200l, at 51,365 miles the van's transmission would not upshift all of the time. i took it into stan mcnabb dealer service and was told they could not find the problem. although they did change fluids and adjust the linkage charging me $100.18.this seemed to help until july when i took it back to the service dept. and they could not find a problem. on oct 31, 200l, the car would not upshift when i was pulling onto a busy highway. i was almost in an accident with my son as a passenger. on nov. 1, 2001, at 56,058 the service manager with stan mcnabb said that the transmission had failed and they replaced it charging me $1,762.72. i feel dodge knew about the faulty transmission when they built my vehicle and they should have to recall these transmissions!!!*ak | |||

First time was a modulator, we paid for it to be fixed at about 34 to 40000 miles.at that time car was shifting repeatedly. this time it was shifting very hard and jerky, while driving 3rd gear went completely, almost caused an accident on interstate. now the dealer says the transmission needs to be rebuilt, at a cost of $900 to me! shouldnt a transmission last longer than that? the cars value as trade in is only about 4000 without the trans problem. that would mean i could only get 2800 if i was lucky. will never own another. *ak | |||

I have taken my vehicle to the chrysler dealer ten times for the same repair, yet it has never been repaired,about 90% of the time the vehicle will not shift out of second. this forces me to stay on city strrets and prohibits me from using the highway. each time the dealer says that it is fixed i pick it up and it eventually does the same thing again. we picked the vehicle up last friday and it didn't shift on our way home. i took it back this monday. they did put in in a rental but my point is i have a van that cannot be fixed and is unsafe to drive.i called chrysler and they didn't seem to careat all. i still owe 6,000 on the van and i can't trade it in when it doesn't shift. i am afraid to drive it and fear it will end up leading to an auto accident. what do i do?. *ak | |||

We bought our caravan used through a personal sale, but the warranty was up to 36,000 miles. at 38,000 we were driving along (with my year-old son in the car) at 35 miles per hour when it felt like the engine was going to fall out of the car, and the car had to be brought to a stop on a very busy road with no shoulder. we decided to take it to our mechanic who told us that it was the transmission. robinson's transmission in buxton, maine did the repairs. he did a complete overhaul of the transmission, which cost us $950. now again,in april 2000, just over a year since the last time, at 61,000 miles , we were going through the intersection of a busy street crossing (again with my son), and the car suddenly went into a crawl. i was stuck in the middle of the intersection with my foot on the gas, but unable to go anywhere. luckily, other cars saw us. again, we took it to robinson's garage and again he did the overhaul of the transmission. we had just gone over our warranty with him, so he allowed us to split the cost of this second-time repair. this time it was $400. after our first incident, i contacted the chrysler corporation and was told that because i was 2,000 miles over my warranty, that they could do nothing for me. i had a very disturbing conversation with a woman named diane, who offered me no comfort whatsoever. we bought this mini-van so that we could ride comforably with our son. but now after these 2 incidents, we are no longer feeling that we all are riding in a safe vehicle. other mechanics have told us that they often see this type of problem with caravans. people need to know about this before someone gets killed. thank you very much, --pam gillingham. *ak | |||

This is the 2nd time i have had to replace a transmission on a caravan. has anyone every done any statistics on what percentage of chrysler's minivans have had transmission problems? what's horrible, is a good percentage who replace them once replace them again. just because this isn't a life threatening problem, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be addressed. chrysler needs to take responsibility for their product. please look into this. we need some help. *ak | |||

Vehicle transmission locked up at 30 mph and nearly caused impact from rear by vehicle behind. transmission mechanic stated that chrysler was aware that the overdrive hub and planet (originally made for 3.0 and 3.3 liter engine) were not sufficient for 3.8 liter engine. later made larger part, but did not recall part or notify owners. he was aware of this defect through working for dealerships. stated the defect is known by dealerships and not reported to consumers. this causes the sudden lockup of the transmission. i had just exited the interstate when my van locked up. i certainly would have rolled if it had locked at 70mph on i-10. *ak | |||

We bought this vehicle new, only to have the transmission fail in our second year of ownership. we complained to the dealer, but were told they couldn't help us. two years later the transmission broke down again. when we initially approached the salesman regarding purchasing a new caravan, we were especially concerned about the transmission and informed him of this. he assured us that the bugs had been worked out of the 1995 model vans (we were trading in a 1990 dodge caravan with a faulty transmission). i feel we have bought a faulty vehicle and have suffered financially because of this. it disturbs me that dodge is not willing to back their product. *ak | |||

Our family is a second generation consumer of the chrysler coporation's products. this vehicle has proven such a lemon, we really doubt that we will ever buy another chrylser/dodge product. within a month of our purchase, we had a recall on the liftgate latch, that was fixed. we are currently having our transmission inspected by a licensed chrysler dealer, and will submit to the corporation. we have had the seat belts not retract on the driver's and passengers side for years, which catch in the doors constantly. the power windows in the rear had a motor go out, the universal joint fell off while the car was sitting in the drive, and the most ungodly act was when someone was closing the sliding passenger door, and it totally slid off the car. luckily, no one was injured. the airconditioning was about 2 years old when it died, and the company replaced that underwarranty, along with the universal joint. the sliding door cost us a fortune, and the company only gave us $122.00. i wish that i could turn back the hands of time, and have bought the windstar instead of this esxpensive lemon. | |||

I have replaced the transmission with chrysler remanufactured units twice in 11 months. the units were over their 12,000 miles/12 month warranty. i know that chrysler gives such a low warranty because their transmissions aren't lasting. every transmission shop that i spoke with knows the unit # in their head and claims that they willn't rebuild them because of the problems associated with them. the only way that they will work on them is to replace them with the factory remanufactured units. my original trans went out at 52k , then the replacement unit went out at 92k ( was serviced at 77k). don't you feel that a major part of a vehicle like the trans should last longer than 40 to 50k miles? any help that you can assist me with will be greatly appreciated. thank you, derf martin | |||

Our family is a second generation consumer of the chrysler coporation's products. this vehicle has proven such a lemon, we really doubt that we will ever buy another chrylser/dodge product. within a month of our purchase, we had a recall on the liftgate latch, that was fixed. we are currently having our transmission inspected by a licensed chrysler dealer, and will submit to the corporation. we have had the seat belts not retract on the driver's and passengers side for years, which catch in the doors constantly. the power windows in the rear had a motor go out, the universal joint fell off while the car was sitting in the drive, and the most ungodly act was when someone was closing the sliding passenger door, and it totally slid off the car. luckily, no one was injured. the airconditioning was about 2 years old when it died, and the company replaced that underwarranty, along with the universal joint. the sliding door cost us a fortune, and the company only gave us $122.00. i wish that i could turn back the hands of time, and have bought the windstar instead of this esxpensive lemon. | |||
