My transmission seal blew off at 18,000 miles, whch shouldn't have happened. It took the dealer 2 weeks to fix car, and when I got it back, the transmission fell out. They also used my car as a rental car, and I got it back with 700 extra miles on it.

Consumer was accelerating up to 45 mph speed limit when all drivetrain capability and forward motion was lost. Vehicle currently at a Dodge dealership, and they informed consumer that transmission has to be rebuilt because no transmissions were available for 1996 model. This will cost consumer $2200. Burning rubber smell was detected after the vehicle was taken for fluid change at the dealer. Belts and the tensioners were replaced but the rubber smell still cintinued.

Car was parked with shifter in "P" and engine off. When I turned the key in the ignition the car took off like a banshee at full revs. I hit a building, some stone steps, went over a curb, and barely managed to make a 90 degree turn to avoiding running down two pedertrians. When key was turned off the car was still in "P". it appears that there may have been a recall (98V183000) for this problem, however we were never notified of it. We will never trust this car to drive again and are requesting that Chrysler replace it.
