While traveling at about 50 mph, the transmission failed with a very loud noise and dumped transmission fluid onto the roadway. Apparently, a pin in the differential had come loose and destroyed the housing and most internal components. I understand that this is a common problem with Chrysler mini van transmissions. Chrysler has charged me over $2500 for a replacement unit since they will not take the old unit as a "core". this should not happen with only 70,000 miles on the car. Chrysler needs to recall these units and admit they have a serious problem with this vehicle.

I bought my mini-van in 1999 with 68,000 miles on it, after looking through the paper work that came with the vehicle I learned that the transmission had been overhaulded by the dealership at 36,000 miles. In 2001 I had about 84,000 miles when the transmission failed again, it cost me $1800 to have it re-built. Now I have 142,000 miles on it and the transmission has gone out again and I am looking at either replacing the transmission with a re-built one from Chrysler which is $1699 just for the transmission not including labor, or $1800 - $2200 for a overhaul. If these transmission have such a problem why aren't they being recalled?
