THIS CAR WENT IN FOR A COOLING FAN RECALL IN LATE JULY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE 60,000 MILE TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH HOW IT SHIFTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ON AN IRREGULAR BASIS. WE LEFT ON VACATION A WEEK LATER AND JUST RETURNED SEPT. 8TH. I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORSE, SO I CALLED THE GARAGE TO TAKE IT IN. I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A WATER LEAK IN THE DIPSTICK. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY CARS. MY SUSPICION: WHY DID IT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED AT ROSS CHRYSLER IN BOONE, NC. IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE WATER LEAKS, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE SHARING WITH THE COST ($1600) TO REPLACE THE CONVERTER. AM I BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN. ADD WATER TO THE TRANSMISSION WHILE BEING WORKED ON, AND IT RUINS THE CONVERTER. *KB
