1996 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. PROBLEM IS EPIDEMIC WITH 6-CYLINDER EQUIPPED CARAVANS. OUR 1991 CARAVAN HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT THREE TIMES!! I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. *AK
