POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
AT 52,00 MILES THIS CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION TROUBLE THAT. DODGE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VANS ( ALL VANS ARE 96-97 ) . IF DODGE KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THERE CARS ISN'T IT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THE NESSASARY ADJUSTMENTS?
