Bought the van from cooks volkswagen on may 7th, 2018. In the first 3 mths of me owning it I had to get 2 motor mounts and a starter put in. Then from that point it was all down hill! It has had 3 transmissions(cooks has done 2 and I took the van to thompson for them to do the third), hub assembly, welded the core support, power steering pulley and baring, struts for the truck hatch, I had to pay for out of pocket for power steering pulley and baring and one day of rental for a rental car! I have already called my lawyer and to have chrysler/dodge sued for selling an uninspected vehicle and filing a civil suit against your company!!!! As of may 13,2019 it is in the shop again and have another rental van after getting it back on friday may 10, 2019 after it's 3rd transmission being installed and tried to drive it down 95 north on may 11,2019 and I got to 6th gear and it went straight into limp mode and had to take it back to thompson's to fix it!

Vehicle dies when going down road other sources show a recall for the 2010 caravan
The car started shutting off in the middle of an off ramp or just going down a street or coming to a stop. Left me without power steering or brakes. Very scary. I have taken it into the dealer and at first they said it was a gunky throttle, but paid for it, brought it home and it died again that same day. Mechanic took it out and he said he was going 30 miles an hour and it died on him and he almost wrecked my car. No codes are showing or no check engine light, so they have not been able to figure out what is going on with it. Plus the transmission slams into my front end if I am going normal speed and come to a stop at the bottom of my hill and told them about this last year and was told that was normal for that car(I don't think so). I am at a loss and on a fixed income. Where do I go from here?

The chrysler 62te transmission is a faulty product! Please investigate so you are able to help the people chrysler is abusing by having this faulty product in their vehicles. The dealer mechanic told me he is employed just to change transmissions due to a "bad" compounder bearing. Please help!!!
