Replaced transmission at 79000 miles blew a hole in the case. Needs a 3 pc. plate kit.

Belt constantly fell off, replaced tensioner, still did it. Switched from smooth wheel tensioner pulley to grooved pulley. Problem solved.

Front brake pads wear faster than normal.

Front sway bar links constantly break.

Faults:

General Comments:

I will never buy a Chrysler car again, due you know how many hate site they have, These van are junk and I got 3 years 10 MO to pay on it, I'll be trade it in if the cost start to add up. If you buy one these van I would keep a tool box, belt, and automatic belt tensioner in the back as I do. On the up side it a flex fuel van which is nice for today gas price. The ride is nice, in till your strut cap rust away. I have yet to have the air bag light come on and I will pray it won't.

General Comments:

I have been very disappointed in this car. The only positive points that I can actually think of is it has great heat and air, and the radio sounds great.

Okay, so I bought the van as a "previously owned" vehicle, actually, it used to be a rental van. I had it for about a year and a half before major things started to happen to it. First the brakes, then the shocks and struts. Had all the brakes done (discs and shoes), rotors turned, replaced the front struts and rear shocks. The tensioner for the serpentine belt was replaced due to some mechanic along the way of me previously owning the vehicle installed it crooked, which caused the belt to slip off.

General Comments:

Other that what I described above, I have had no other problems with this vehicle. Drove from Corpus Christi, TX to Shreveport, LA (approx 500 miles) on one tank of gas, cruising at or around 80 with the A/C on. I believe that the reason that I had to replace those components was due to the fact that it was a rental before I bought it. Otherwise, I have been very happy with it.

Faults:

The transmission is slipping in cold weather. I plug in the engine heater each night, warm it up for at least 10-15 minutes before leaving and as I pull away & before the automatic transmission shifts the first time it slips and the vehicle comes to a halt. I put it in reverse, 3rd, low... and it won't move for several minutes.

General Comments:

I took the vehicle to a mechanic. Being a woman I expect to be treated like I don't know what I am talking about. The mechanic told me he has seen several of the same make/model/year that have had the same problem. His opinion of the problem is that there is a pin within the transmission that is loose. He asked me if I was losing transmission fluid and I said yes. He said when the fluid level is brought back up it holds the pin in place and the problem ceases. That was last winter.

This winter (2004-05) I am not losing transmission fluid, but the transmission is slipping more often.
