Purchased used plymouth in october 2007 with 5393 miles on the odometer. Registered and drove it from december 3, 2007 to jan 2, 2008. Noticed significant amount of transmission fluid under the vehicle and film of fluid on back window and hatch area. Observed fluid pumping out from under the car. Mechanic tells me the solenoid block most likely has failed and will need to be replaced. I am told this is a "common" failure in later model 41te transmissions.

We have the extended warranty on our car. The van has been into the dealer numerous times as recently as june of 2004. At that time it was a transmission problem. This time the van was not shifting up in gears in the automatic transmission. We thought it was a transmission problem. We got the vehicle to the dealership. The next day they told us it was the emission system,and coincidentally we were 42 miles over the factory warranty of 80,000 for the emission system. We then asked our extended warranty company and they are also hedging. We called chrysler and a person by the name of "joe" answered the phone who was very rude and when we asked to speak to a supervisor he replied he "was it. " and when we asked for his last name he refused. What we cannot understand is if the emission system and the catalytic converter is involved, why then would it not be covered? If this system is failing then the engine cannot run right. And if we were only 42 miles over the 80,000 chrysler should honor it since we just had the vehicle in their for the transmission in june or july. Our van has been almost a lemon from the time we bought it, and we have gone back to the same dealer where we bought the car each and every time. West covina chyrsler jeep. It is on record there how many problems we have had. We are very upset with chrysler not stepping up to the plate and covering this $1600 problem!!

Vehicle not wanting to switch gears. It goes very slow until finally it switches over. The oil was leaking out of the van. The oil leak was repaired. As for the transmission, it all started off when it would slow by itself. Then it gradually got worse. On 02-12-03 I had taken it in to get checked for a oil leak and the problem with the gears not shifting. I was told I needed transmission service, to replace the valve cover gasket, and to replace the transmission output shaft seal. I did the repair that was supposed to fix the problem but of course it didn't. I took it in to the dealer and they found nothing wrong with the gears. But said a fuel injection cleaning, throttle body cleaning, and a tune up would fix the problem. This was done on march 26, 2003. They replaced the throttle body gasket and spark plugs. They did find a leak in the head gasket. They had to replace cylinder head gasket, water pump and timing belt. In november of 2000 the front pump seal was leaking, pan gasket leaking, side cover leaking, differential cover leaking, and rear main oil seal leaking. They removed the transaxle, removed and replaced the rear main seal. A few months ago the engine light started coming on when gears wouldn't shift. And it got worse everyday. Now the engine light is on all the time. I took it into aamco on 04-23-2004 to get it checked out. They said it wasn't safe to drive so they had to tow it to their station. It passed all the equipment testing and was told it may just be the spark plugs. So I replaced the spark plugs that day. It ran well for a little while. Then it started again. I had to stop driving my vehicle because it is a potential danger to my family. It would go very very slow when I was trying to cross the road. And with on coming vehicles on both sides we could easily get into a major collision. I have tried to talk to the chrysler but they refused to help me. And at this point I still don't know what is wrong with it.
