Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The vehicle began to have a hard time shifting gears. the rough shifting began very intermittently at about 45,000 miles. at 51,000 the shifting was so hard that the tires actually screeched when the van shifted gears. problem caused by defective solenoids. 2 of the 8 solenoids plus the torque converter had to be replaced to fix the transmission. dealership would not cover the cost of the repair since we did not get the van to the service department prior the 50,000 mile mark. the torque was available as 'rebuilt". *nm
