“My first transmission failure was during warranty at approx 65,000 miles in 1995. My second transmission failure was in 1997 at 115,000 miles. Since I was out of warranty, and did not think chrysler/Dodge would replace my transmission I had it rebuilt at my own expense for more than $1700.00. Do you think chrysler will reimburse me??.”
NHTSA complaint #711948, filed 1999-09“Transmission (possibly malfunction in computer or solenoid). 2 yrs ago advanced transmission put in a 604 rebuilt transmission and torque converter. The problem has continued to exist. Most days the transmission shifts fine. Other days the transmission does not shift gears at all. It goes into safety mode and has not gears at all. I never know when it will do this. Also, when I am at a standstill, if I turn off the a.c. The car jumps forward. This has almost caused me to hit other cars in the rear. …”
