What owners wrote

Our van only has 65,000 miles. When driving down the street we heard a noise and the van jerked and then made funny noises. We brought it into the shop the told us that we need a new transmission. It exploded inside. There should be a recall on all these vans with bad transmission. I hope some day soon something is done about this problem for the customer. This is not very good customer service providing customers defective vehicles.

January 2000 Death

I am one of the many many customers that are experiencing complete failures with the chrysler 41te ultradrive transmissions. In my case I hade a complete transmition replacement at 79,000 miles. At 123,000 miles while pulling into traffic the vehicle stopped moving and the engine started revving very high. I hade the vehicle towed to the dealer that had installed the first transmission. I was informed that the transmission was over its 36,000 warranty and needed to be replaced.
