| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving back to work from lunch in february 2005, i heard a loud boom noise coming from the front of my vehicle. i had to pull over and the van quit. i looked underneath the van and all the transmission fluid had leaked out. the repairman said that the differential on the transmission had blown out. he said a it had blown a hole in the case. he said this was a very common problem among the chrysler vehicles. he see this often. i had to pay 1784.58 to have this repaired. i first went back to the chrysler dealer to see if there were any recalls since i was told this happens often. i was told that since my warranty had expired they would not repair this at no charge to me. they were going to charge me about 2400.00 dollars. the vehicle had 79189 miles at the time. i spoke to someone at the nhtsa and was told the vehicles doesn't have a high ratio of reports filed. since it didn't seem to me anything would be done about this i waited to file this report. although when i first spoke with the respresentattive i saw 29 reports filed. today i see 21. are all the reports being throughly investigated. this was very dangerous as well as costly. the representive from chrysler said this often happens when it rains. i paid over 14,000.00 for a vechile and i cannot drive in the rain. i would like chrysler to reimbuse me for the money spent. *jb |
