Experienced a major failure of the transmission on 2/12/06 from western new york to my home in cleveland, OH. Failure occurred outside erie PA on interstate 90 . Had the van towed to Chrysler dealership in erie PA. And then I rented a car to get back to cleveland. Dealership called and said that the output/input shaft had broken and sprayed metal through out the transmission including damage to the transmission case. Dealer stated that the van required a new re-manufactured transmission at $3,800. !! I called Chrysler for assistance because I felt that a vehicle with 81,000 miles on it should not have a major transmission failure like that, and I also felt the cost of the repair was excessive. Chrysler's response was sometimes this happens and there is nothing they can do. Case closed. Even the fact that I have owned 3 Chrysler minivans didn't matter to them. Since the van was 2 hours from my home, I had no other reasonable option but to have the dealership put in the re-manufactured transmission. 24 Transmission Failure problem of the 2002 Chrysler Town & CountryFailure Date: 08/12/2005 The transmission failed suddenly. While at a stop sign the Town & Country van stopped moving. The rpm's went up while pressing the gas, but the van did not move. After further investigation by a technician it was determined that it was related to the transmission. Because of the cost to fix the van, as of 08/15/05, the van is still parked.

The "check engine" light had come on one day prior - no time to even schedule for service. A moderately audible whine had been noticed for a month or so prior while driving but had no reason to suspect it was the transmission. Vehicle had been serviced by dealership religiously, including full transmission service as recommended. When the transmission went, it went out with a loud bang - then lost all power. Coasted to the shoulder of the road without incident luckily. The minivan had 49,000 miles on it. Came with all options including towing package, but I never towed anything - no tow bar installed. This does not say much for Chrysler quality. I imagine if I had been towing a boat occasionally the transmission would have failed much sooner. My cost for repairs was about $2,500. I would like to be notified if Chrysler ever steps up to the plate and offers to reimburse those who lost transmissions prematurely. Transmissions should last at least 100,000 miles - I don't care what the warranty says. That is a cop out. Without some reimbursement I will never buy a Chrysler again. This was my first and probably my last.

Had car into repair shop but they could not find problem. After retrieving vehicle and driving home, car bucked and lunged me forward. I was barely able to pull over the side of the highway. Fortunately, no one was following too closely. Had to have car towed as it no longer would move in any gear. Car smelled as if something was burning. Transmission needs replacing. Car just went over 41,000 miles while I was driving it home! will try to see if Chrysler will cover costs, but somehow I think I will be on my own. As many transmission failures as there are documented just on this website, one would think it should warrant an investigation at the very least. I always said I would never buy a Ford. Now I also will never buy another Chrysler. I thought I had purchased a good quality, dependable vehicle. It will be toyotas for me from now on. 28 Transmission Failure problem of the 2001 Chrysler Town & CountryFailure Date: 10/15/2004 The check engine light came on on my 2001 Town & Country minivan. The very next day, the transmission failed. I had it towed to my Chrysler dealer, where they told me that the planetary gear had failed causing catastrophic transmission damage, which required $2,700 worth of repairs. The vehicle only had 62,000 miles and had never been used as a tow vehicle. I would like an investigation into why a relatively newer vehicle should have this kind of catastrophic transmission failure at such a relatively low mileage. The vehicle had been dealer serviced. 29 Transmission Failure problem of the 1997 Chrysler Town & CountryFailure Date: 09/15/2004 Vehicle stalled, and consumer had the vehicle towed.

This transmission failure placed my family in danger in a strange city, and required towing to the local dealer and rental of a vehicle to return home to louisville, kentucky, over 100 miles away. Marshall Dodge dealership in covington determined that the transmission required replacement and offer to conduct such replacement for nearly $2,500. Upon further investigation and inquiry, we had the vehicle towed to mr. Transmission to replace the transmission. Representatives at mr. Transmission notified us that this was not an isolated incident, and explained that there is a defective pin in the transmission which commonly works its way out of the housing unit on this vehicle, and destroys the transmission. We replaced the transmission in our vehicle with 63,000 miles at a cost of $1,848. 00, plus vehicle rental charges and dealer fees to determine the problem (an additional $169. 00).

Chrysler refuses to grant a "goodwill repair" even though it's due to a technical failure and not a wear and tear or poor service failure.
