I was driving a group of students when I heard a loud explosion and lost all gears on my transmission. I stopped the vehicle, tried to put it in park and it kept rolling. The interior of the transmission had blown. At the same time, it blew out the starter and the main drive. If I can find a used or rebuilt transmission, it will cost me $1,000 for the transmission plus labor costs. Been searching 2 weeks with no luck. It's about time someone takes these reports seriously. An investigation needs to be started. I bought this van from my dad who replaced the transmission in 1999. It's 2004 and it needs replaced again.

Complete transmission failure by model year
What owners say
The transmission was replaced 3 times.
Pulled out of the driveway the morning of january 8, 2002 and into traffic. Felt a hard jerk and heard a strange winding noise. The transmission would not shift out of first gear. Took the van to the dealer and they said the transmission was shot from an internal failure and would need a new transmission. The dealer installed a new transmission at a cost of $2147.28 with a 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty.
Ongoing problem with transmission failure, dat 18,000 miles, again at 76,248 miles, and at present mileage failure had reoccurred. Dealer notified, and informed that vehicle was out of warranty, and not under recall. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
The transmission failed three times in 6 years. The first was barely over warranty. To many complaints to register in one sitting! So much for a reliable family vehicle.
Transmission failed three times. Dealer rebuilt once under warranty, now states that the new rebuild is our resp. 35,000 since last rebuild with one previous visit being termed nothing is wrong. Public should be aware of failures with the transmissions. Several technicians in the industry know why the transmission failed. Dealers are not doing updates on the known failures within the transmission system
The original transmission was replaced at 32,000 while still under warranty.
This is the second transmission failure. The first occurred at 42,000 miles in the middle of a busy san francisco intersection. The latest incident occurred while merging onto a freeway, putting several vehicles at risk, including our van full of children. The number of complaints on the internet as well as acknowledgement from a chrysler representative indicates this is a prevasive problem.
The vehicle was stuck in 2nd gear because the transmission went out. Vehicles 4th transmission.
