Transmission failed at 74,000, putting a big hole through the transmission case. Transmission was a604. (at 64,000 the transmission cooler lines were replaced because they were leaking.

There have been 2 transmission failures with this vehicle. One at 58,000 miles and the other at 86,700 miles. Chrysler assisted in payment on the first failure and would not on the second. There apears to be secret warranty for some who take the time to complain. The safety issue is stoppage on the highway. We are lucky to be in a smaller town and traffice is slower and less of it. The secondary concern is the cost. We have spent $2800 in repairs to the transmission. The reputation is so bad that we have looked at making a trade of this vehicle and the first thing mentioned by the salesman was "hows the transmission'? so we pay for the factory defect again in resale value. The situation was discussed with the local dealer and the company with no assistance. I would have never expected 100% repayment as I did use the van for transportation. The second report is the windshield wipers coming on at the worst time. Like a sunny day in traffic! too much fidiling around to make them stop is distracting. They may be fixed now with the second multi function switch. It was worse when cold. We are very disapointed in our investment made and the dealer that made the repair. I think they are sheding 25000 employees - I wonder why!!!.

Transmission failure at less than 36,000 miles on Chrysler 2001 town and country minivan. Had taken vehicle in one month prior for "slippage" of transmission. Vehicle was returned with ntf. Failure was catostrophic and transmission will be replaced with remanufactured transmission. As of the date of this filing, have not received my car back from dealership. Was fortunate car failure occurred while pulling into gas station after a large bang had been heard to determine cause of failure.

Transmission failure @ 70,000 miles needing complete rebuild for $1,600 - even though the transmission had been serviced by Chrysler in Jan. 1999 @ 38,249 miles. Both the Chrysler dealer in west virginia (location of failure) and the selling (home) Chrysler dealer knew immediately what the problem was when first hearing about "my guess would be plannetaries are completely stripped" was the Chrysler wv mechanic comment upon just looking at the van. Spoke with many Town & Country owners since - this is a very common occurence on Town & Country - how can there not be either a recall or a class action suit with that many known failures on a known weak component ? if Chrysler/benz will not monitor themselves shouldn't the government intervene ? (tiresize: p215/65/16).
