Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 39,000 MILES. SEEMS TO BE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. REQUIRED A "SOFT OVERHAUL" BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED CLUTCH PACK SEALS THAT WERE NOT HOLDING PRESSURE. I FEEL THAT A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 39,000 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND DODGE I HAVE OWNED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM - SEEMS TO BE A TRANSMISSION DEFECT. DEALER REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I DID INCUR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. SUBSEQUENTLY TRADED IN THE CARAVAN AND LOST A REFUND OF $700 ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS, SO THIS REPAIR DID COST ME $800. KNOW TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH RECENTLY (THIS PAST WEEK) FAILED DODGE CARAVAN TRANSMISSIONS.
