Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION STARTED A WHINING SOUND AT ABOUT 48,000 MILES. THIS SOUND IS JUST AUDIBLE WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN. HOWEVER, AFTER 2 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH IT BECOMES VERY PRONOUNCED. IF ENGINE IS SHUT OFF FOR 10 MINUTES THE LOUD WHINE IS BACK TO A "NORMAL" LEVEL. THIS APPEARS TO AFFECT NOTHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE'S OPERATION. BUT IT CERTAINLY CAN'T BE CONSIDERED NORMAL. WE FEAR TAKING THE VAN ON THE ROAD SINCE SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS READY FOR SELF DISTRUCTION. OTHER THAN A FAILED BATTERY AT 2 YEARS (ABOUT 46,000 MILES) THIS IS THE ONLY PROBLEM EXPERIENCED. THIS T&C LXI WITH ALL THE OPTIONS EXCEPT POWER TAILGATE AND 52,000 MILES (MOSTLY HIGHWAY) HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT VEHICLE TO DATE AND THIS OBVIOUSLY COMING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT THIS EARLY STAGE IS A DISAPPOINTMENT TO SAY THE LEAST.*AK
