What owners wrote
2008 dodge grand caravan leased. Gear shift on the dash went from park to n or drive by itself. Key out of the ignition and driver as well.
Van started shaking violently while driving. Gets worse when I release the gas and when I put on the breaks. The shop has found that both the motor mounts and transmission mounts are broken.they said it is a known problem with this van and it is un safe to drive. Also wire harnesses in sliding doors wont stay in the track
