Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We have had our vehicle since 1999 and have been disappointed with its performance. this is our third chrysler/dodge van and this is the second of the three to have transmission problems. the first had them at 37,000 miles and this one is having them at 71,000 miles. we were smart enough to have an extended warranty for both vehicles, unfortunately, on the current van the warranty ran out last month...besides the poor engineering of the transmissions this van has had several problems with the tie rod and front end noise as well as going through front brakes relatively quickly (we do not drive it roughly and it is mainly used to transport our kids around our community approximately. 12000 miles or less a year since we have owned it. *la
