Complete transmission failure by model year
What owners say
Speed control and then the entire transmission failed; when it happened, I was driving on an interstate; I could not go any faster than 25-30 MPH and came very close to beoing rear-ended by a 16-wheel truck.
This van has had 2 rebuilt transmisions installed. One at 74,000 & the other at 77,000 miles. I was informed when the transmission was replaced the 2nd time that this is a design flaw in the transmission area where the differential pin is located. I contacted chrysler and they will not cover any of the expense.
Transmission failure for the second time! At 33,000 miles my transmission "went out" and the dealership "repaired it'. Now at 93,000 the speedometer gear has malfunctioned and I have to replace the whole transmission. This happened while I was driving. The transmission locked in second gear, which was unexpected and surprised me. This action could have caused an accident but I was the only car on the road.
Transmission failed because the differential pin shot through the transmission. *ak
