This was the 2nd time the same problem has been repaired, the first time was on 2/21/95. At this time the transmission was also rebuilt, another problem is the engine check light staying on. This was also repaired on 12/27/94, and I am haveing the same problem again.
Transmission/ engine continue to stay at high idle after foot is taken off gas; windows sometimes leak due to moulding assembly, and trunk leaks on driver's side everytime it rains!
As soon as this car hit 36000mls the problems just added up. Everytime I turned around something was going wrong this car. Chrysler were the worst manufaturer I had ever dealt with and will never buy anything from then again. We had to let the car go back because we could no long afford the repairs on it. The cruise control had to have some thing to do with the computer, and was replacedby myself. The alternator went bad was replaced by myself. The radio went bad was replaced by myself. The transmission had a pin that was not fitted and wore a hole through the transfer case. Malfunction!! we could not afford it and did not repair.
When the transmission failed the dealer told me I ran it out of fluid/ I was 2 mo. / 2000 miles from factory warranty and they would not help pay for any of the $1350 they wanted me to pay/ had it towed to an independant mechanich which told me that the back of the transmission had a large hole blown out of the back of it, couldnt keep transmission fluid in it that way. Found a used one with 2,000 mi. Charged $800. This car has been nothing but trouble since day one. I will never buy another Dodge, ever!! the dealers try to rob you blind and the co. Doesn't know you once they have gotten their money. Paid 10,500 for this car 2 years ago and have been paying ever since.

When driving vehicle jumps, and when putting in gear it jumps and makes a loud squeaking nois. Dealer and manufacturer contacted, both aware of the problem, and cannot duplicate the problem.
Transaxle failed due to worn hose carrying automatic transmission fluid. The location/design of two hoses allows them to rub against each other at the clamp location and causes the protective layer on the hose to wear through. This allow the fluid to leak out causing transaxle damage.
