1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2000

We have had issues with the transmission of this van since it was purchased. Leaked fluid, dealer was unable to find cause; had a noise on gear selection and delay before engaging into gear , blamed on low (1quart) level of transmission fluid; continued to have a slow leak as evidenced by fluid on garage floor; still no reason found; transmission failed on highway 476 at 60 mph; now being replaced by same dealer who could never find a problem, although the leak continued. This will now cost us close to $2500. 00 to replace. I am very disappointed in the dealer and the van's performance. The issues have continued on with this van, never coming to resolution until now with the failure of the transmission.
