Had transmission troubles?? We were told before we bought ours that they sometimes have transmission problems.. Ours is apparently having one now, but all the other people I've talked to so far who own them have had no issues. Is this as common as we were led to believe? Or did we buy a lemon? We've put less than 12000 Km's on the thing since we bought it, no way we ripped through the tranny yet. Probably a defect.

Anyone else?
Run screaming from those wheels now!

My sister bought one on the advice of my father, the transmission blew with two of her little people in the car, in Chicago traffic.

Not a place to be with a 3 and a 5 year old to say the least, so she fixed the tranny, and dumped it on her Honda dealer where she traded up for their minivan.

Chrysler/Dodge are aware of the problem, but they are unwilling to fix the transmissions until they blow. Here you would think a little preventive maintence would instill goodwill with current minivan owners, but its just not the case.

Seriously, trade it in with a dealer, your karma will feel better, than dumping it on a total stranger.
