What owners report
Owners of this model year most often describe body and door problems: door hinges and hinge mounts cracking or breaking, and sliding or driver doors that sag, fail to latch, or come open. Transmission complaints are also common, typically appearing well past 90,000 miles, while airbag non-deployment and seat-related complaints round out the picture on a van likely well over 100,000 miles by now.
- Transmission and drivetrain
Transmission slipping, harsh shifting or failure
- 11 complaints (14%)
- median 97,500 mi at 8.5 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 1998–2003
Owners describe transmissions that slip, shift harshly or grind, refuse to engage from a stop, lose reverse or overdrive, or fail outright with a broken internal part. Several say the van was maintained and used lightly, and dealers or shops typically reported the transmission needed rebuilding or replacement. Mostly reported between roughly 90,000 and 110,000 miles, with some failures reported lower.
What to check: Ask for transmission service records and take a test drive that includes a cold start, reverse, and a full-throttle upshift to check for slipping or harsh engagement.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“This is the second chrysler mini van that I have had to replace the transmission in in the last 12 months. I have seen several for sale ads for chrysler mini vans that have said w/ re-built or replaced transmission.”
NHTSA complaint #740535, filed 2001-02“Total transmission failure. Differential pin broke and cracked the bell housing. Failure occurred without warning and less than 5000 miles after regular 90k transmission service. Requires complete transmission replacement at est cost of $3,500. Vehicle has been meticulously maintained with very light duty use. Catastrophic failure of this component is unwarranted for well maintained vehicle of this age.”
NHTSA complaint #10003181, filed 2003-01, 95,000 miles - Body and structure
Door hinge and hinge-mount cracking, sagging doors
- 11 complaints (14%)
- median 130,250 mi at 8.7 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
- filed 1996–2004
Complaints describe the sheet metal or beam where the door hinges attach developing cracks or stress fractures, and welds at the lower hinge breaking. The result is a door that sags, will not shut or latch properly, or in some reports separates from the body entirely. Owners report repeated repairs, with some saying added sheet metal did not hold up and the dealer or body shop noted the door could come off. Reports span a wide mileage range, including vans around 100,000 to 155,000 miles, and many complaints give no mileage.
What to check: Open and close each door slowly and look for cracks or rust streaks around the hinge mounts and welds, then check whether the door sags or needs lifting to latch.

“The frame where the driver's door is attached is cracking around the bottom hinge . The door has dropped down a little. It seems to be affecting the latch.”
NHTSA complaint #10043278, filed 2003-10, 142,000 miles“The seat back recliner bolt broke. While driving in a snow storm the driver's seat back collapsed. The consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pulled it onto the side of the road. The vehicel was taken to the deaer who informed the consumer that the repairs were not covered under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10073767, filed 2004-05 - Air bags
Airbags that did not deploy in a crash
- 7 complaints (9%)
- median 30,000 mi at 9.6 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
- 6 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 1997–2004
Complaints describe frontal or side impacts in which neither the driver nor passenger airbag deployed, with injuries reported in some cases. A separate report describes an airbag deploying unexpectedly while driving, which is the failure mode covered by a recall on the airbag wiring. Reported across low and moderate mileage; several complaints give no mileage.
What to check: Check whether the airbag wiring recall was performed for the vehicle, and watch for an airbag warning light that stays on or flickers.

“While driving and making a left hand turn on the ramp of I-76, vehicle started to slow down because of an accident up ahead, and a semi truck behind was also making a left hand turn, but it didn't slow down. Fishtailed and hit consumer's vehicle. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed due to a short in the electrical system. Recall notice issued.”
NHTSA complaint #858930, filed 2000-03“Vehicle involved in collision and air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was involved in an accident in which the air bags failed to deploy. As a result the driver received head, neck, chest and back injuries. The vehicle also experienced recurring electrical and transmission problems. There were several reasonable repair attempts made to have the electrical system and transmission repaired.”
NHTSA complaint #10029418, filed 2003-07
Buying note. These vans are old enough that condition varies far more than model year, so look closely at door hinge mounts and body structure first and ask about transmission service history. Confirm any open recalls were completed before purchase.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 57 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified. Other counts refer to the sample.
