Transmission Failure problems of the 2000 Dodge Caravan

: the contact stated while driving at 40 mph, the transmission failed without prior warning. The transmission pin fell out and transmission locked, causing the vehicle to stall. The vehicle received regular and routine maintenance. The road conditions were clear with no road hazards or debris. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence. The dealer determined the transmission pin fell out without inspecting the vehicle.

With 79,000 miles the transmission went into safe mode and locked in 2nd gear. Repair shop hooked vehicle up to diagnostics and vehicle will need a transmission rebuild. Vehicle has a history of transmission leaks and transmission lines letting go dating back to first year of ownership. A transmission service (at several hundred dollars) was completed in February at 74,000 miles. Owned 96 Caravan -transmission failed at 51,000 miles. Was assured by salesperson and service manager that transmission on 2000 was a complete redesign or I would not have purchased a second Caravan.

While driving 55 mph transmission failed. As a result, vehicle shut down.

Consumer states that transmission failed at 65,000 miles. As a result, vehicle became inoperable.

Dodge Caravan 2000, we've had our transmission failed 3 times, and had it to Dodge three times to be fixed. With no results always same problems. Van with not go into park. Drive, etc. . Very dangerous !!.

While driving 45 mph, the automatic transmission failed. The dealer indicated that the transmission needed to be replaced and would cost $4,800. Please provide further information.

I have had 4 complete transmission failures with my 2000 Caravan: 2 ofwhich required a complete rebuild and 2 of which required entirely new units (transmissions) and new cv axles as a result of the transmission locking up. The worse of the 4 times was on thanksgiving 2002, less than 2 weeks after a factory rebuild where the front wheels locked up while on the interstate. 3 of 4 repairs were completed at a Chrysler/Dodge dealership. The 4th and so far final repair was completed at a local transmission shop and it has lasted the longest, over 22,000 miles. After looking on the internet, there are so many complaints about Caravan transmissions. I really feel that this warrants a defect investigation. Please help all of us people who have dumped $30,000 into junk. This is not an isolated incident. I have much more specifics I would like to provide, but this form is limited to 2000 characters. . . . My original submission contained 3,493 characters so it has been trunkated to fit in the space allotted.

Consumer stated the transmission failed. Ts.

Transmission failed at 39,000 miles. Seems to be manufacturer's defect. Required a "soft overhaul" because it would not shift into higher gears. Dealership repaired clutch pack seals that were not holding pressure. I feel that a transmission should last more than 39,000 miles. This is the second Dodge I have owned with the same problem - seems to be a transmission defect. Dealer repaired under extended warranty so I did incur out of pocket expenses. Subsequently traded in the Caravan and lost a refund of $700 on my extended warranty due to the transmission repairs, so this repair did cost me $800. Know two other people with recently (this past week) failed Dodge Caravan transmissions.

While traveling at 55 mph vehicle lost power and did not go into third or forth gear. Vehicle would not go over 20 mph, it almost resulted in a rear end collision. Dealer said that transmission totally failed and needed to be replaced.
