Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving on a major interstate the transmission in my 2000 dodge grand caravan locked up with only 87403 miles registered. after having it towed to a reputable transmission company i found that the entire transmission was damaged for no apparent reason and had to be replaced. while repairs were being made i investigated to see if there was a recall for this vehicle for transmission problems and found that many individuals have had problems with this particular vehicle but there have been no recalls to this date. all parts including gears were replaced at my expense of $2221.58. it is my understanding that the transmissions in this vehicle should not have problems and especially should not have to be replaced until at least over 100,000 miles. *jb
