1999 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

AFTER THE LAST FIX TRANSMISSION STILL DOESN'T BEHAVE RIGHT, ESPECIALY UNDER LOAD OR EVER WITH A/C ON - IT SLIPS IN GEAR CHANGE. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ON MY 1999 DODGE CARAVAN TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 35908 MILES AND ONLY 17 MONTHS OLD. IT WAS THE SPEED SENSOR. THE SECOND TIME WAS AT 40,100 MILES AND LESS THAN 20 MONTHS OLD. I WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APRART!! THIS TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WAS NOT COVERED BY DODGE BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 36,000 MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS LESS THAN 2 YEAR OLD CAR, BUT THE MOST WORRISOME HAS BEEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILURES BECAUSE THEY HAVE OCCURED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONE AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, LEAVING HER STRANDED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED FRONT WHEELS WILL LOCK UP CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL DUE TO A PIN WITHIN TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY THAT JAMS. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. ONCE ANOTHER CAR ALMOST REAR ENDED INTO CONSUMER'S VEHICLE.*AK

WHENEVER TRYING TO PUT VEHICLE INTO GEAR VEHICLE WILL, WITHOUT NOTICE, ACCELERATE EVEN WHILE CONUSMER HAS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AK INTERLOCK SYSTEM WAS NEVER INSTALLED ON VEHICLE, CONSUMER STATES HE CAN MOVE THE GEAR LEVER AT ANY TIME. *SLC

CONSUMER IS ABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE WITHOUT APPLYING BRAKES. *AK *JB

WITH NO WARNING AND IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP WHILE APPLYING BRAKING PRESSURE. BRAKING FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND ONLY ALLOWS FOR ABOUT A 20% BRAKING FUNCTION EVEN WHEN APPLYING FULL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. NO CODES ARE STORED (AS PER THE DEALER) AND AFTER AN INCIDENT, THE BRAKE WILL FUNCTION NORMALLY. DEALER HAS LOOKED THE THE BRAKE SYSTEM TWICE AND CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION OCCURS RANDOMLY. DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE ANY PARTS BECAUSE NO CODES HAVE BEEN SAVED IN THE COMPUTER. *AK

VEHICLE DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM. THUS,VEHICLE IS CAPABLE OF BEING REMOVED FROM PARK WITHOUT APPLYING BRAKES OR USING A KEY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK
