POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
BURNT FLUID IS NOTED ON THE REPAIR SHEET. DEALER WAS NO HELP AT ALL SO WENT TO INDEP TRANS. REPAIR SHOP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AUTOS FROM RESEARCH I'VE DONE ON-LINE AND WITH TALKING TO FRED'S TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH [(219)266-2144]. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CONSTANTLY GET CHRYSLER'S IN FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE AS MINE. WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER USED POOR EQUIPMENT IN THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSIONS. I PRAY THAT SOME DAY CHRYSLER WILL REALIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM AND DO A RECALL FOR THEIR POOR PERFORMANCE OF THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. *AK
