Transmission had some major repairs done at 90,000 miles. Currently, transmission is slipping out of gear while driving at 55 MPH.

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.

Transmission gears slip between 1st and 2nd gear on only 75,000 miles. Gears should last longer!

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.

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.
