- 96 Dodge Grand Caravan w/3.8 V6 and 41te 4spd transmision - 2 transmission failures - 1st went to about 125000, then kept hitting the "limp home mode" - 2nd has "torque converter lockup" problem, shops say rebuild again, after only 38000 miles. - fan relay went out before recall was issued, had to replace the radiator out of pocket. - had clock spring replaced after component failure relating to it (horn, cruise etc) - union city ga dealer attempted to fix the fuel return line issue, botched it up and caused major leak when refueling. They re-fixed it after much complaining.
1) when you would start the van it would not go into drive for @ 5 min. Then would finally go into gear. (2) when travelling @45 to 50 the van would start to shudder bad and would lose all of its power for a couple of seconds and then would be alright. (3) when stopping at a light/ stopsign or yield the van would not go. Told at the Chrysler dealership it was the transmission and torque converter.
When starting vehicle in first 5 minutes vehicle would not shift into gear. Soon afterward vehicle would travel normal. The original transmission failed at 20,233 miles and the second one failed at 53,167 miles. The transmissions needed complete teardown, reseal and a new torque converter.
