This is my second Dodge gr. Caravan to drop a transmission at 71,000 mile mark and I insist that Dodge reimburse me the $1711.82 it cost me to repair it......I have all invoices on the repairs.

Hesitates when put into gear, also slips while driving, causing much fear. The speedometer also goes up and down at will, even when driving a steady speed. Has been to the dealer three times now, and they have yet to locate the problem. This is causing much aggravation for our family.
Pedestal holding the rocker arm broke causing rocker arm shaft to break, also the transmission has broken this is still a new vehicle and these two items should not have broken the rocker arm and pedestal should not have broken I fill this is a design defect because of the way it broke and could have caused serious problems are damages. I also would like for this to be looked into. The local dealer told me that.
Automatic lock motor doesn't shut off right away when opened from keyless remote or during autolock when driving, struts are leaking oil at less than 50000 miles, windshield wipers lock up during cold weather, transmission slips out of gear during cold weather, front brakes vibrate and chatter: Pads and rotors have been replaced twice in the last 6 months, grinding noise from steering column, whinning noise during accelleration. Are there any recalls regarding these issues. The car is falling apart after 4 years.
Made a the purchase in Nov. With 37373 miles on the vehicle, major transmission failure at 46500 miles. The transmission will no longer shift out of low gear. Neither Chrysler or the dealer from which I purchased the vehicle will stand behind there product. These vehicles are known for having severe transmission problems and Chrysler claims they have fixed the issues so why is it that these vehicles continue to have these problems. A major recall for all these vehicles should be made as the consumers are continually being lied to and taken advantage of.
