The first torque converter and transaxle went out in 11/97 then again in 1/7/99 and again 2/00. Is there a problem with the transmissions? I see alot of other consumer complaints with the same problems I have experienced. I feel that chrysler should have a recall on these transmissions, they should last longer than 1 year. Please respond.

While traveling at 65 MPH on highway heard a knocking sound while going. Had slowed down & knocking continued. Later the noise was louder & smoke appeared. Pulled to side of road, and saw that fluid was leaking from underneath. Had vehicle towed to mechanic and was informed that transfer case had cracked, causing transmission to be inoperative/leak .
Speedometer intermittently would fail to operate. Dealer/mfr. Notified, and informed consumer that the part was not under any recall, and repairs would be at consumer's expense.

Also, gear would slip into neutral. Dealer notified. Car hesitates to start and at times there is a knocking sound under the car when ignition is turned off. *ak
When shifting the manual transmission gears at approximately 45 MPH, the transmission case cracked at the 2 attaching points for the transmission mount tearing the mount from the tranmission allowing the tranmission to drop and the left axle shaft to fall onto the mounting point for the left front lower control arm while the axle shaft was rotating at 45 MPH. Because the driveshaft fell onto the chassis, the inner cv boot tore spraying the chassis with its lubricant. The steering wheel jerked left and right as the flat surfaces of the inner cv joint rotated into contact with the chassis causing the engine and transmission assembly to rise and fall under the hood. I called the 1-800 customer service number for chrysler and the representative took some information but stated that the company did not show a history of this happening and that chrysler would not cover the repairs.
Front and rear ABS brakes make grinding noise when driving forward and reversing whenever starting the vehicle. Also, transmission failed/engine head gasket failed twice/oil leak/cam sensor failed, causing vehicle to stall twice.
