EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
LEFT AND RIGHT PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENS HAVE TAKEN ON A YELLOW TINT THAT HAS REDUCED THE ILLUMINATION TO A POINT THAT IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HAVE NOTICED OTHER DODGE VANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. A LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THESE HEADLIGHTS, AND THAT THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED. I FEEL THE MATERIAL USED IN THE HEADLIGHT LENS IS FAULTY. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING A RELACEMENT IF THIS IS THE CASE? DT

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS CHRYSLER PRODUCT THE 2ND TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED ON JUNE 16TH OF 1997 JUST 14 DAYS BEFORE WE TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR. THE 3RD TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED ON MAY 26TH, 1999. THE DATE IS JUNE 17TH, 2002 AND I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME IT NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THIS LAST TIME WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WE WERE GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. A CAR BEHIND US BARELY MISSED HITTING US. I DON'T UNDERSTAND CHRYSLERS REFUSAL TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. ARE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED, JUST LIKE THE FAULTY TIRES ON FORD VEHICLES. THE CURRENT DEALERSHIP, LAFLAM IN RUNNEMEDE, NEW JERSEY, REFUSES TO EVEN ADDRESS FIXING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS TOO OLD. I WOULD THINK AFTER THREE BAD TRANSMISSIONS THEY SHOULD INSTALL THE FOURTH TRANSMISSION OUT OF THEIR POCKETS AS A GOOD FAITH GESTURE. AMERICAN MADE CARS?????*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROX. 56,000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED BY DODGE. THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROX. 112,000 MILES AND DODGE REFUSED TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL HELP. I'M A LOYAL DODGE OWNER. I CURRENTLY OWN 3 DODGE VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THIS FACT HAD NO IMPACT ON DODGE OR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO OFFER ANY HELP TOWARDS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE THIRD TRANSMISSION. A REVIEW OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA REVEALS A SIMILAR PATTERN OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND RESPONSE FROM DODGE FOR HELP.*AK
