Consumer Description

ON SATURDAY 12/29/07 AS I WAS RETURNING FROM MY MOTHER'S HOME WITH MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN OUR TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PREVIOUS WARNINGS OR PROBLEMS OR EVEN AN INDICATOR LIGHT, MY 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPORT WITH 128K MILES MADE A SUDDEN LOUD THUMP NOISE (ACCORDING TO MY 6 YEAR OLD SON IN THE BACK SEAT IT SOUNDED LIKE WE RAN OVER SOMETHING) AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO DOWN SHIFT DRAMATICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER BUT WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE. I HAD TO HAVE MY WIFE DRIVE, WITH OUR YOUNGEST CHILD, BACK TO RESCUE US FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER THAT. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR REPAIRS. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND CERTAINLY NOT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY.*CN
