I ? Failure of a recently routinely serviced transmission. I was told that driving in this condition would cause the system to lock up and create other failures (axle). Am I alone in this problem, also, I had received a recall on the van for airbag problem - it also listed on the form in very small print that the rear wiper may also have to be serviced/replaced at their discretion I believe. After getting service for this the wiper blows fuses as before disabling the wiper and also the airbag system what recourse if any do I have when they say the wiper is doing this because people don't clear off the rear windows properly??? Thanx for any help you can give me.

I have had 4 transmissions replaced by a ri dealership, because the dealership in massachusetts where this vehicle was purchased went out of business. The latest transmission was put in on june 11th 1999. The transmission previous to that was put in in april 1999. At the time the transmission was replaced in april, I picked up the vehicle at the dealership after hours and when I started the vehicle I immediately knew that a bad transmission was replaced by antother bad transmission! I have made numerous calls to the 800 telephone # in my owners manual and have had many differant complaint case numbers assigned. I have sent an e-mail message to the district manager for this area for chrysler and have made more than 2 dozen requests and demands that she contact me regarding this lemon that I spent $17,000. On! I have not had any luck. The fuse for my air bags which also controls the rear windshield wiper has blown for the second time and I now have no airbags! I have not had a working float in my gas tank since I hit the 12,000 mile mark, now I have no air conditioning. I have not used it all that much and have had it recharged and it still does not work. This car has been a lemon since I purchased it. I keep asking the people at chrysler and have been asking since 1995, who I may talk to or write to for some satisfaction, but they won't cooperate. N I do not know who to talk to. I am very nervous driving this vehicle, when the third transmission blew we were on our way home on a major highway, we lost power and our speed dropped to around 20 miles per hour, we were lucky to make it to safety! My son was very scared. Please help, thank you.
