WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING 55MP, HEARD CLUNKING, GRINDING, FELT JERKING. PULLED OVER TO FIND TRANSMISSION FLUID POURING OUT. FOUND LARGE PIECES OF TRANSMISSION ON HIGHWAY. THANKFUL WE WEREN'T GOING FASTER OR ON A FREEWAY. CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL EASILY WHILE IN PARK. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PARK VEHICLE. HAD DAIMLER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THEM NOW. BEEN 1 WEEK NOW, STILL BEING REPAIRED. WARRANTY ONLY GAVE A TOO SMALL REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS(WE NEEDED ALL THE VAN'S 7 SEATS TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY). IT IS EXPECTED TO TAKE A TOTAL OF 11 OR MORE DAYS TO REPAIR. WE HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE KEY IN THIS VAN. WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE, AS WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH OUR LAST VAN TOO. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY WRECKED, BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. WE WOULD BE GLAD TO DISCUSS THIS WITH ANYONE. THANK YOU.*AK
