The transmission on this dodge van will fail at unknown times. It does not matter what the temperature or speed of the vehicle. It can fail while turning left across traffic. It can and has failed in the center lane of the dan ryan expressway at 3:00pm on a friday afternoon. When it fails the car is totally without drive power and cannot be moved. The dealer has seen this and cannot 'determine a cause' I have reported to daimlerchrysler ( tracking number 355565) no response from either.
When purchasing vehicle in february of 2001 automatic transmission had just been rebuilt. Transmission stopped working while attempting to accelerate on feb 10th, and while traveling on an incline at approxmimately 45 MPH on may 28th. Please provide any additional information/attachments.

Consumer is having problems with transmission. Transmission will not shift/change gears after approximately 20 MPH. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Relpaced transmission.
Transmission started leaking.after dealer fixed the problem I was told it was "hard seals" due to temperature fluctuations or wear and tear. Our climate does not change drastically and how can a major part like this fail after only 43,000 miles? We have done the routine maintanence on this van every 3,000 miles.is this a normal problem?
When transmission is cold after starting vehicle, would need to wait before beingable to shift into reverse. Sometimes when shifting into reverse, it would skip. Took to dealer & service manager indicated problem was known to manufacturer, but would not repair it.
Transmission began slipping at low gears, then pausing and jumping into gear. Began sticking in 1st gear causing driver to stop, restart engine to reset transmission or drive at speeds under 30 MPH. Rebuilt in 5/99 but transmission is slipping again and will not shift into higher gears.this proves dangerous when driving on highways and cannot accelerate to a safe speed.
The transmission has recurring problems which caused the vehicle to stall in traffic. Nlm
Electrical system failed.
If anyone has class action suite?transmission fails,fails,fails,everyone I know has had transmission problems. Thats at least 5 people. I haven't heard of anyone w/caravan who hasn't had trans problems. Mine has failed twice.
Transmission problem with shifting out of gear. Also, on one occasion vehicle jumped out of gear, and suddenly commenced to accelerate. No injuries reported. Dealer / manufacturer were not notified at this time. Please provide further details.
When driving consumer noticed the clock/ radio/ headlights and windshield wipers were flashing off and on without operator controling the components. Also gas gauge and speedometer malfunctioned, gauges were moving up and down. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has linked the problem to the body control computer which need replacing. Please provide any further details.
Transmission failed to disengage when coming to a stop, causing intermittent stalling. Appointment made with the dealer. Feel free to provide further details.
In my research I have found several thousand transmission failures at low mileage. The manufacturer is also including upgraded parts to be used in an overhaul. To me if you need to upgrade a component in order for it to perform properly, it was defective to begin with!

Transmission is faulty. Transmission has been either replaced or rebuilt on a number of occasions . Consumer has contacted both manufacturer and dealer. *ak.et.
When shifting at very low speeds transmission delays, and is very harsh. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Transmission gears slip between 1st and 2nd gear on only 75,000 miles. Gears should last longer!
This automobile has had 3 new transmissions, 3 new airconditioners,, a new starter, 3 or 4 recalls for different things and now an oil leak that has to be repaired.
The liftgate failed.
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.
The lower reverse gear went into limp mode while vehicle is in drive. Would be sluggish & hard to shift. Would have no prior warning of problem. Shut vehicle off & then restarted. Worked fine untill it was shifted a few times. Then went back into limp mode. Took vehicle to dealership & was informed by mechanic transmission needed to be replaced.
Automatic transmission failed. Yh
Transmission is slipping, I was told that this is common in this year model of the dodge caravan. I find this unacceptable that a vehicle with such low miles, and regular maintence would have this problem already. Please contact us with your suggestions.
