| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At about 32,000 miles i had taken my van in for an oil change and asked the dodge dealer to look at the transmission. it had been shifting rough occasionally, and they looked at it, and said it was fine. last week i was driving down the 10 freeway at about 70 mph when the transmission seized for about 2-3 seconds, the van's front wheels locked up, and the van slid sideways, then the transmission broke loose, and i was able to regain control and get the van to the slow lane and proceed to exit. i then had the van towed to dodge were they seemed surprised that the transmission failed. and now i read about on the internet that its notrious for this. i had a co worker with me and we were both physically shaken. i believe this is a major deffect in the vehicle and should be investigated! please help do something. *ak |
