Consumer Description

MY 1998 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT LATE ONE EVENING. IT WOULD NO LONGER RESPOND TO ANY GEAR CHANGE AND IN FACT, IT SOUNDED AND SMELLED TERRIBLE! I WAS COMPLETELY STRANDED FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON A DARK WINDY ROAD UNTIL I COULD OBTAIN HELP. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET I SAW THAT THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY A COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM FOR DODGE OWNERS. I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH MY CAR AND HAD ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED. THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY SEE THIS ALL THE TIME WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. DANGEROUS!! *JB
