1995 DODGE CARAVAN Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

AT 68,000 MILES TRANSMISSION HAS PREMATURELY MALFUNCTIONED. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

OUR FAMILY IS A SECOND GENERATION CONSUMER OF THE CHRYSLER COPORATION'S PRODUCTS. THIS VEHICLE HAS PROVEN SUCH A LEMON, WE REALLY DOUBT THAT WE WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYLSER/DODGE PRODUCT. WITHIN A MONTH OF OUR PURCHASE, WE HAD A RECALL ON THE LIFTGATE LATCH, THAT WAS FIXED. WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING OUR TRANSMISSION INSPECTED BY A LICENSED CHRYSLER DEALER, AND WILL SUBMIT TO THE CORPORATION. WE HAVE HAD THE SEAT BELTS NOT RETRACT ON THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGERS SIDE FOR YEARS, WHICH CATCH IN THE DOORS CONSTANTLY. THE POWER WINDOWS IN THE REAR HAD A MOTOR GO OUT, THE UNIVERSAL JOINT FELL OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE, AND THE MOST UNGODLY ACT WAS WHEN SOMEONE WAS CLOSING THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR, AND IT TOTALLY SLID OFF THE CAR. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE AIRCONDITIONING WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD WHEN IT DIED, AND THE COMPANY...

BREAKS REPLACED AT 46503 HAD BEEN SERVICED ON MANUFACTURE SCHEDULE. MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. TRANSMISSION LEAKING AT 14829 REPIRED, FULL SERVICE AT 27271MILES, MAJOR OVERHALL OF TRANSMISSION 64843.

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH CHRYSLER REMANUFACTURED UNITS TWICE IN 11 MONTHS. THE UNITS WERE OVER THEIR 12,000 MILES/12 MONTH WARRANTY. I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER GIVES SUCH A LOW WARRANTY BECAUSE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS AREN'T LASTING. EVERY TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT I SPOKE WITH KNOWS THE UNIT # IN THEIR HEAD AND CLAIMS THAT THEY WILLN'T REBUILD THEM BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY WILL WORK ON THEM IS TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE FACTORY REMANUFACTURED UNITS. MY ORIGINAL TRANS WENT OUT AT 52K , THEN THE REPLACEMENT UNIT WENT OUT AT 92K ( WAS SERVICED AT 77K). DON'T YOU FEEL THAT A MAJOR PART OF A VEHICLE LIKE THE TRANS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 40 TO 50K MILES? ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN ASSIST ME WITH WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, DERF MARTIN
