This is the second transmission failure in this vehical. Both have occured at about 70,000 miles. This is a famous problem now with these vehicals. Countless mechanics have told me that these transmissions "go" at about 70,000 miles. The web has pages dedicated to the fact that these transmissions fail. The government should make a concentrated effort to investigate this issue before there are more accidents that put our taxpaying lives at risk. You should look up pages on the internet that will demonstrate a consistant pattern of transmission failure at or near 70,000 miles. Also an investigation should look at the rack and pinion steering problems for which there is an entirely different set of web pages dedicated to these problems. The bottom line is that these engineering problems are costing owners of these cars enourmoos amounts of money and severely jeoprodizing peoples' saftey!! There must be some recourse for the shoddy engineering of chrysler/dodge!! Don't stop at just the airbag problems!! The large amount of famlies who own chrysler/dodge mini-vans and the serious saftey problems- imagine the transmission slipping into 2nd at fifty on an icy mn road, or the steering coming loose passing at 60mph - that these cars exhibit at regular intervals should be enough reason to start an investigation.
