Transmission delays going into drive and it goes into (limp mode) many times it will not shift into third gear, it will only stay in second gear. If it does shift into third gear you may be driving along and it will all of the sudden shift down into second gear harshly.this is very dangerous, especially when it happened on the highway. This is the second grand caravan that I've had with the same identical problem and chrysler refuses to help.

V6 3.3 l engine I bought it 3 years ago with 77000 miles on it and shortly therefater the following problems have been noted: especially in cold weather, the transmission would not engage even after shifting to "d". It would work after getting warmed up. Frequent jerks with the transmission, after braking and resuming acceleration sharp clunking sound from the drivers side in the front when starting to move. (mounts?)

I bought the van a year ago in august within a couple of weeks I had already brought it and had to have the transmission sensor replaced. A couple of weeks later the tower on the head of the motor broke and I had to get another motor put in. I have other minor but the major problem now is the transmission sensor again and the ABS brakes. I'm looking at thousands of dollars more on the top of everything else. In search for the parts at a reasonable price which is useless, one of the guys I was talking e-mailed me the recalls on that van and told me to look into it so here I am. Heidi bergeron help! Please I was also told about a mechanic that also looked at the van that a speed sensor is out and he claims I need a new motor plug which all they sell is the full wiring harness which is thousands of dollars more than that. I bought the van from it's original owner in july of 2002.

While driving the transmission shifted itself into neutral until the speed decreased and then it automatically defaulted into 2nd gear.

My rear left axle keeps burning up bearings and the wheel either falls off or I catch it in time to correct it. At about $250.00 a pop (this is the fourth time) it's getting a little expensive. Not to mention the law of averages is turning against me. Sooner or later there is going to be an accident.

Before I bought this chrysler product the 2nd transmission had already been installed on june 16th of 1997 just 14 days before we took ownership of the car. The 3rd transmission was installed on may 26th, 1999. The date is june 17th, 2002 and I currently have the vehicle at the dealership and they tell me it needs another transmission. This last time was very dangerous. I had my wife and four children in the car and we were going 60 miles per hour on a busy highway when the transmission failed. A car behind us barely missed hitting us. I don't understand chryslers refusal to recognize the problems with their transmissions. Are they waiting until someone gets killed, just like the faulty tires on ford vehicles. The current dealership, laflam in runnemede, new jersey, refuses to even address fixing the transmission because the vehicle is too old. I would think after three bad transmissions they should install the fourth transmission out of their pockets as a good faith gesture. American made cars?????

My original transmission failed at approx. 56,000 miles and was replaced by dodge. The replacement transmission failed at approx. 112,000 miles and dodge refused to offer any financial help. I'm a loyal dodge owner. I currently own 3 dodge vehicles. However, this fact had no impact on dodge or their willingness to offer any help towards the replacement of the third transmission. A review of other complaints to the federal safety agency reveals a similar pattern of transmission failures and response from dodge for help.

Very unhappy with chrysler and their willingness to fix problems transmission is very expensive and they refuse to do more than offer $300 toward their repairing it. We made many complaints to them if you check this site check other years of same model they have done nothing to fix this problem.
