1990 Dodge Grand Caravan transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Steel pin in the differential is loose, destroying it, and causing transmission to become inoperative. Total of 3 times part has been replaced.
The vehicle would not come out of second gear even at high speeds. Dlr has rebuilt transmission and problem is occurring again.
Automatic transmission failure premature and sudden. Van suddenly without cause downshifts to low gear. Van also upshifts surging forward. Dealer explains that the transmission assembly and transmission controller needs replacement. Dealer charges almost $1800.00 for repair that the service manager acknowledges is a common defect in the 604 transmission. The dealer is charging us a cost of $800 for this known defect. The service manager also stated, "the manufacturer accepts responsibility for part of the bill due to the known defect in the 604 transmission". The weather was inclement the evening that this suddenly happened, thank goodness that there was no one too close in front or behind of her on this 45 MPH highway. If my wife or I driving with our three children had been on a highway traveling at the accepted speed of 70 MPH and the van suddenly downshifted, we most assuredly would have become a national highway statistic. This is truly a safety issue, and should not be overlooked anymore by the federal safety agency. The right thing for dodge to due is to recall the grand caravan with the 604 transmission and repair the problem entirely at their expense. How many accidents with fatalities have happened already due to this common defect? Is no one to take responsibility?

Transmission locked up while driving 55mph. Had felt a jerking/pulling sensation. Took to mechanic & informed transmission gears were defective & needed to replace transmission.
This van belongs to my son. It has already had the transmission replaced and now it needs it again. I know this is a common problem in this year make and model of van. I used to work for russwood chrysler plymouth in lincoln ne, so I know the facts on this. Chrysler has informed my son that there is nothing they can do as they do not know of this problem. Now I do not believe no one else has complained about this. Can you please help us with this problem. The transmission has over drive and they are the ones that have the problem, the ones without overdrive do not have a problem. You can check with any dodge or chrysler plymouth dealership and they will tell you this is fact about thiese vehicles.
This is the third transmission to be put in this van. In 1995 I had it back to the dealership 5 times for the transmission before the finally replaced it. Now the replacement has to be replaced.
Vehicle has had three transmission replacements within less of 100,000 miles of wears. Dealer repaired/replaced two transmissions due to warranty , and the third transmission cost would go to consumer.
