POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 42K + MILES. CHRYSLER HAS A WELL-DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES. ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THAT CERTAINLY WAS A POSSIBILITY. IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DURING ACCELERATION (HIGH LOAD) ONTO A HIGHWAY OR PULLING OUT OF AN INTERSECTION, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING 55MP, HEARD CLUNKING, GRINDING, FELT JERKING. PULLED OVER TO FIND TRANSMISSION FLUID POURING OUT. FOUND LARGE PIECES OF TRANSMISSION ON HIGHWAY. THANKFUL WE WEREN'T GOING FASTER OR ON A FREEWAY. CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL EASILY WHILE IN PARK. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PARK VEHICLE. HAD DAIMLER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THEM NOW. BEEN 1 WEEK NOW, STILL BEING REPAIRED. WARRANTY ONLY GAVE A TOO SMALL REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS(WE NEEDED ALL THE VAN'S 7 SEATS TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY). IT IS EXPECTED TO TAKE A TOTAL OF 11 OR MORE DAYS TO REPAIR. WE HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE KEY IN THIS VAN. WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE, AS WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH OUR LAST VAN TOO. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY WRECKED, BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. WE WOULD BE GLAD TO DISCUSS THIS WITH ANYONE. THANK YOU.*AK

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE VAN IN FOR REPAIRS FOR FUEL MILEAGE AND PINGING UNDER ACCELERATION AS WELL AS RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, INTERMITANT WIPERS WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITANTLY. THE MOST RESENT PROBLEM IS THE VENTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD CANNOT BE SHUT OFF WHILE THE HEATER IS ON, THIS CAUSES MY HEAD TO GET VERY WARM WHILE MY FEET ARE COLD. THE WIPER SWITCH, BODY COMPUTER AND MOTOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT 4 SEPERATE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND THIS HAS NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE CAUSED THE VAN TO BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR 14 DAYS AT THE DEALER, NONE OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG READINESS INDICATOR LAMP WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND OCCASIONALLY STAY ON AFTER STARTUP. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DID NOT WORK. A LOCAL DEALER INDICATED THAT THESE SYMPTOMS MAY BE A CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY FAILURE AND THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD PROBABLY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER MINIVANS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES FAIL. *AK
