Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING UP THE INTERSTATE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN TRANSMISION SLIPPAGE,AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON.AFTER MANUEVERING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD I CHECKED THE TRANSMISION FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS GOOD AND ALSO CHECKED THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(MIL CODE 45).TRIED TO START OFF AND THE TRANSISSION SLIPPED VERY BAD BUT FINALLY STAYED IN SECOND GEAR ALLOWING ME TO RETURN HOME.I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE,THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DODGE CARAVAN OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO SEE IF THIS IS A CURRENT RECALL ISSUE OR IF THERE ARE ANY PARTICULAR STEPS THAT I COULD TAKE TO TRY TO HELP IT BECOME A RECALL ISSUE. *AK
