Had transmission fluid changed at local dealer at 49,314 miles, had to go back 3 times to get leak stopped, then at 63,000 miles transmission won't always move vehicle. Had know trouble prior to this fluid change.
The transmission has failed in my van with only 80,000 miles o it. With todays technology I should have gotten more miles out of this van. I owned a dodge omni before I bought this van and it lasted 130,000 miles before the transmission went. I would like to know what to do about this a new transmission is going to cost me at least $2,000 or more. This is not right. Vehicals should be runnig better then this..... Thank you.
Transmission replaced, failed a second time within six months of first repair. Mjs

We have taken care of the transmission on this van. It has burned up twice, with no warning whatsoever. We have replace torque converters, and gears. It has now started to shudder when you try to take off, and it shudders and jerks in reverse. After first problem, it has never been the same.
These are intermittent problems, not related to wear & tear, they are computer and/or electrical failures. The car drives fine for hours with no problems at all, then all of a sudden it neutrals out. Turned the car off & on again & it drives fine.
Transmission would vibrate under a hard pull with the cruise control set. Sharp upgrades make transmission chatter. Have not taken to dealer.
When driving transmission did not change gears. Broken engine mounts cause movement within engine. Consumer has contacted dealer, stated transmission needed replacing. Dealer replaced the engine mounts. Transmission replaced but the new one was bad also--caused axle to go bad. *ak
I had the transmission replaced @92,000,by the dealer after driving only 36,000 miles I had discovered a leak when I took it to a transmission place they told me my trans was gone and I need a new one I said I couldn't afford it had the leak fixed drove home slowly and parked the van.I called the manufacter of the car and was told there was nothing they could do the van had too many miles I said the trans was replaced,brand new and it shouldn't have gone out with only 36,000 miles on it.they said sorry and that's when I notified you guys hoping you can help me.

I realize that all vehicles need repairs but this one goes to the shop regularly. We have had the van serviced, tuned up and taken care of on a regular basis. I've ask other dodge caravan owners about their van and nearly all have replaced their transmissions starting at 50,000 miles. The transmission is my main concern in this complaint
Transmission failed.
I am requesting information relating to 1993 dodge caravans in reference to transmission failure. My transmission failed at approximately 63,000 miles, and required to put in a rebuilt transmission. My transmission was beyond repair. I have attempted to resolve this with the dealer to no avail. I paid almost $2,000 for the transmission.
Transmissions aluminum material is too weak, causing the case assembly to break at two mount bolts.
My 16 year old was driving 2 children home when the car broke down in the road!
Transmission would fail to shift when I was stopped at a light or stop sign and the RPM needle would idel between the 3and 4. Almost caused rear end accident. It started to go and then slipped gears cause the car to jerk.
Automatic transmission is prematurely malfunctioning on the caravan, cause unknown. Transmission has been replaced four times. Dealer cannot identify the problem. Please give any further details.
Consumer noticed heavy vibration coming from vehicle while driving. Vehicle inspected by dealer, informed consumer that transmission needs to be replaced. Dealer contacted manufacturer, informed consumer that they are willing to supply parts, but consumer would have to pay the labor costs. Consumer feels he should not be responsible to pay the cost of labor. *ak
The defective transmission assembly malfunctioned, causing the transmission gears to slip, almost resulting in an accident. Cause unknown. Please provide details.
Automatic transmission failure.
Transmission just quits while traveling on the highway, the vehicle becomes inoperable. The dealer was contacted and repaired the vehicle, but states there's a design problem with models made from 1988-1996 which causes a failure prematurely. Technicians have stated that updates have been formed for correction, but the dealer will not admit to the problem. No accidents/injuries involved.
There is a related problem. About the time the vehicle shifts into overdrive, this vehicle violently lurches and 7 to 10 times, stops running. There is no indication why this is happening and is very difficult to duplicate to the dealership. The problem is electronic in nature, all electrical dies and takes up to 5min to restart. The car has stranded my wife and children on the la freeway 3 times and the dealership will do nothing about it. A private mechanic will charge a fortune to look at the electrical...cheap compared to the lives of my family. Please look into this. Thank you.
Transmission failure.
Transmission is defective. Dealer has been contacted twice, once in 2/96 and again in 5/98, the warranty ran out by the second problem. The first time the dealer repaired the transmission by removing/ rebuilding, and installing a new transmission in vehicle. Vehicle is currently not shifting into gear, and basically not doing anything.
