Transaxle on 1994 dodge grand caravan le failed causing damage to axles. The axles had to be replaced, one axle had to be replaced twice. They are now failing again. The front end wobbles and shakes, especially when accelerating and the transmission shifts very harshly, with a slam. The transmission has an internal leak so that we have to check the fluid constantly, but no fluid is draining onto the street. It will cost us $2,500 to repair. When we bought the car 2 years ago it had just had the transaxle replaced.

When we bought the van in april of 2001 the transaxle would not shift into reverse when cold. The vehicle has apparently been warmed up before we test drove it. The transmission filter and fluid were replaced and the transmission was fine until the next cold season . The fluid and filter were replaced and the transmission was fine until the next cold season. The fluid and filter were replaced again but it did not help. The transmission started out at the beginning of this year's cold season just not going into reverse while cold, then it quickly progressed to no first gear or reverse while cold. During the time when it had no first or reverse the transmission would go into limp mode. (chrysler a-604 ultradrive) during this time the transmission only functions in second gear (while the gear selector is in overdrive). The transmission repair shop acted very surprised that our transmission lasted 135k miles! Unfortunately our warranty company is not aware of the problems with this transmission or just doesn't want to lose money because of it, but they only paid for the installation of a used transmission with 80k miles. I use the ultimate warranty company (1‑800‑576‑5113). *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****770786

I have had consistant problems with the 94 caravan. As soon as I get one problem fixed, another one pops up. I have been informed by the transmission shop that there is a high failure rate for dodge caravan transmissions. This has me highly concerned as I do not want to have to worry about another transmission failure. This is the 2nd time I am having the A/C system fixed. As for the door latch for the sliding door not working correctly, there is nothing I or my husband am aware of that would cause it to work and then not to work on and off. This is of great concern since this is the family car and I have no idea of when the latch may fail. So far this has not happened with my children in car, just myself . Egr valve was affecting engine performance and milage.

Transmission fails to downshift when stopping causing handling problems and component failure. This is the 2nd time for this type of failure which comes with no warning. The 1st time was dec. 1997 with only 35000 miles on the vehicle.
