IN MAY, 200L, AT 51,365 MILES THE VAN'S TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT UPSHIFT ALL OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT INTO STAN MCNABB DEALER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THEY DID CHANGE FLUIDS AND ADJUST THE LINKAGE CHARGING ME $100.18.THIS SEEMED TO HELP UNTIL JULY WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. ON OCT 31, 200L, THE CAR WOULD NOT UPSHIFT WHEN I WAS PULLING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY SON AS A PASSENGER. ON NOV. 1, 2001, AT 56,058 THE SERVICE MANAGER WITH STAN MCNABB SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THEY REPLACED IT CHARGING ME $1,762.72. I FEEL DODGE KNEW ABOUT THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY BUILT MY VEHICLE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS!!!*AK
