1999 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ON A NUMBER BUT THE CAR IS STILL GOING FASTER OR SLOWER THAN SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY. IT STAYS STUCK FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN IT HAPPENS. I TRY NOT ACCELERATE AND EVEN APPLY THE BRAKE, HOWEVER, THE NEEDLE REMAINS STUCK. THEN IT EVENTUALLY GOES BACK TO NORMAL. IT JUST RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN, SO I WAS CHECKING TO SEE IF A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS INVESTIGATED AS I SEE HERE, HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT RECALLED. THIS IS A DEFECT. I AM SURE, NOT POSITIVE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARAVANS. NOTE, AUTOMOBILE STILLS ACCELERATES AND SLOWS BUT THE ACTUAL SPEED IS NOT KNOWN BECAUSE THE NEEDLE IS STUCK. *JB

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND KEPT IN THE GARAGE.*JB

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A 1999 DODGE GE AND CARAVAN VIN# [XXX] AT 67,723 MILES. NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER ON THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE OF HIGH MILEAGE. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS SOON. WE HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON ANOTHER GRAND CARAVAN WITH VIN# [XXX] THAT HAD 37,491 MILES ON IT THAT WAS MOSTLY COVERED BY THEM. THESE VEHICLES APPEAR TO HAVE DEFECTS AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER AND BUILT TO LAST. *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

1999 DODGE CARAVAN HAS TWO BASEBALL SIZE HOLES IN CASING OF TRANSMISSION AFTER BRINGING DOWN TO ? SOUND OF TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE BY DEALERS , I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE A TRANSMISSON REPLACED DUE TO ONLY HAVING FOR 11/2 YRS AND OWE 10.000.00 STILL ON LOAN.
