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.

Well we just had the transmission serviced and inspected as part of our regular maintainance.. We haven't had a single issue with the vehicle until now. Have to check into things, but man we don't want to be replacing a transmission every few years.. Fortunately because it's AWD, which is rare in a Caravan (apparently only 3000 of the AWD Caravan's were made, and ours was the last year it was avialable at all), we may be able to do some good wheeling and dealing... I love the vehicle though so it would be a shame
