1994 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

EVERY CARAVAN OWNER I TALK TO TELLS ME ABOUT THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILING. WHY HASN'T NHTSA INVESTIGATED THIS HUGE PROBLEM? MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE SHOP TOLD ME THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE VANS. *AK

I REALLY FEEL DODGE/CHRYSLER HAS A PROBELM WITH THEIR AUTOMATIC TRANMISSIONS IN THEIR MINI-VANS, EVERYONE I KNOW HAS HAD TROUBLE AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM. MY TURN CAME LAST WEEK, REPRTEDLY THE NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WAS INSTALLED IS RE-DESIGNED AND HAS A LONGER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.*AK

ENGINE CUTS OUT PERIODICALLY, CONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, VEHICLE ONLY HAS 12,000 ON AN ALREADY PREVIOUSLY REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND WAS ADVISED, THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD OUT LAST THE VEHICLE. *JB

THE TIRE DID NOT "FAIL" BECAUSE I NOTICED THE SEPARATION OF THE TREAD BEFORE IT HAD A CHANCE TO COME OFF COMPLETELY. THIS TIRE HAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL 4 OF MY FR680 TIRES BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT THAT MY FAMILY IS SAFE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2M0F6L TIRESIZE: P205/70R15)
