| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have had 4 complete transmission failures with my 2000 caravan: 2 ofwhich required a complete rebuild and 2 of which required entirely new units (transmissions) and new cv axles as a result of the transmission locking up. the worse of the 4 times was on thanksgiving 2002, less than 2 weeks after a factory rebuild where the front wheels locked up while on the interstate. 3 of 4 repairs were completed at a chrysler/dodge dealership. the 4th and so far final repair was completed at a local transmission shop and it has lasted the longest, over 22,000 miles. after looking on the internet, there are so many complaints about caravan transmissions. i really feel that this warrants a defect investigation. please help all of us people who have dumped $30,000 into junk. this is not an isolated incident. i have much more specifics i would like to provide, but this form is limited to 2000 characters.... my original submission contained 3,493 characters so it has been trunkated to fit in the space allotted. *ak |
