Consumer Description

WITHOUT WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO LEAK - APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART A WEEK - AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. AT TIMES IT SIMPLY FAILED TO GO INTO GEAR. UPON DIAGNOSIS OF THE LEAK, I WAS INFORMED THAT A DIFFERENTIAL PIN HAD COME LOOSE AND BEGAN DESTROYING THE INTERIOR OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. $1850 TO REPAIR ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THIS IS VERY COMMON ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.*JB
