Reported at 31,800 miles, September 2004 Crash

I own a 2002 chrysler sebring with approx. 35k mileage. The transmission started acting funny about three weeks ago. It would not budge when in drive gear or would stall at red light. It was worse when cold. I took it to chrysler dealer in greenvale, new york. They indicated a transmission leak requiring change of transmission oil and cleaning, even though chrysler manual itself does not indicate transmission service before 45k mileage.
