Transmission Solenoid Problems of Chrysler Town & Country

As I was driving down the four lane my van started shaking at first it was for 1/2 second then got more frequent. At first it was at 50-60mph but now at all speeds. The check engine light came on and gave the code for a leak that I was told that it was so small it didn't matter. Then it gave a code of 0740 solenoid torque so I replaced and within 24 hours the engine light came back on and gave the same code. It is extremely scary when the van is shaking so bad as you are driving in busy traffic. Not sure what needs to be done. I've had this van less than 2 1/2 years. Very frustrated.

My check engine light came on at 80,000 miles. I took it to a Chrysler dealer for a diagnostic and they told me it was showing a converter clutch malfunction in the transmission. Well this ended up causing the transmission to lock up on me in the middle of the highway before I could get it replaced. My car is still in new condition to I do not know how the transmission went out. I have taken the car to mr transmission since it locked up and they said it is about $3,00 worth of repairs in the transmission. We were told the solenoid pack is what needs to be replaced.

While traveling at 60 mph on the interstate the vehicle suddenly stopped. The vehicle was towed. The mechanic stated the transmission was defective. The transmission solenoid pack leaked. The consumer started hearing some clanking noise from the engine area.

Automatic transmission failure@ 46,500 miles in 2001 chrys Town & Country: check engine light on steady; dlr said diagnostics indicate tyranny overheating; changed oil & filter. Light came on again one day later; dealer replaced tyranny solenoid pkg for $350. One week later, with no check engine light, car bucked upon stopping @ end of h'wy off-ramp & briefly refused to move in any fwd gear. Took to dealer who kept it two days but said nff, couldn't duplicate symptom. 2-3 days later took the vehicle on a turnpike trip. While cruising @ speed limit under cruise control, vehicle bucked & went into "limp-mode" as evidenced by tach moving from 2k to 3k rpm. Pulled to side of road; vehicle would not move in any gear(no chk engine light). Had car towed 85 miles to same dealer (south hills Chrysler-Jeep) in peters twp, PA. Had to fight hard with dlr and with daimler chrys cust svc, but dealer replaced tyranny; we pd $1100. Poor quality and poorer dealer service integrity. We were happy to get concessions, but the bad taste remains. Seems many others have had similar widespread experiences. Other potential problem symptoms include: continuing "steering shudder" with no cause, auto rear lift gate will not open or close automatically with no fix after multiple trips & complaints and too-easily-warped front rotors that cause brake pedal pulsation. Letter was written to Chrysler customer service in auburn hills complaining about excessive cost of solenoid replacement and poor service/treatment by dealer. Bitter verbal complaints were made to the dealer service mgr and the general mgr as well. Customer service did assist mediation of the tyranny problem and did offer a concession on the cost of the solenoid. We have not yet rec'd the monetary refund promised, but it's been only three weeks.
