I EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN AUTO TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO SELF DESTRUCT. DEALER'S COMMENTS WERE HOW "LUCKY" I WAS THAT MY ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION LASTED TO 100000 MILES, AS MOST DO NOT LAST THAT LONG. THE MOPAR FACTORY REBUILT REPLACEMENT LASTED ONLY 12000 MILES, BUT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE RAPID DISINTEGRATION AS WITH THE FIRST, ONLY "SLIPPAGE" AND INABLITY TO PROCEED IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MINIVANS, PROBABLY AN INDIRECT AND DIRECT CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS AND PERSONAL INJURY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40MPH HIT BRAKES & REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE.VEHICLE THAT WAS HIT WAS A HUGE TAHOE. IT WAS HIT FROM 10 FEET AWAY, AND CONSUMER'S AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. AIRBAG WAS PUSHED DURING SALES PITCH AS A SAFETY FEATURE. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED & SENT ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT VEHICLE. CONSUMER DIDN'T KNOW THAT VEHICLE HAD TO BE HIT AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE IN ORDER FOR THE AIR BAG TO GO OFF. *AK

IF BRAKES ARE TAPPED JUST A LITTLE VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF. DEALER CAN'T FIND CAUSE OF PROBLEM. *AK
