Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION WOULD ALWAYS JERK WHEN SHIFTING. DEALER TOLD US THAT WAS NATURAL FOR THAT TRANSMISSION. AFTER TWO YEARS, TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. PREVIOUSLY WE OWNED A 1990 DODGE CARAVAN AND ALSO HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT APPROXIMATELY 80000 MILES. SINCE THEN WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS THAT THIS IS COMMON IN CARAVANS. ALSO THE BOLT HOLDING THE ENGINE FAN IN PLACE HAS HAD TO REPLACED TWICE AS IT FALLS OUT. WE DID CATCH THE PROBLEM BOTH TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE OVERHEATED WHILE IDLING. *AK
