What owners wrote
I noticed a fluid leak in my driveway and based on the red color I eliminated the possibility that it was from the power steering because the reservoir was at the max level. I was later informed that the transmission side cover was leaking. I sent the vehicle to the dealer where dye was added and was informed that fluid was leaking in the area of the bell housing and the transmission would require disassembly to ascertain what the cause is. ....updated 04/09/12.
Van shifts hard and loud when going from park into reverse. Van shudders in reverse at times as well. It's still under powertrain warranty until april 2019 and I have it scheduled for a service call at fury motors in south saint paul, mn on december 13th for a solution.
