Automatic Transmission problems of the 2002 Dodge Caravan

: the contact stated while driving 65 mph, all of the dashboard lights illuminated then the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was towed to the dealership on a flatbed truck because the tires were locked up. The dealerships diagnostic test determined the transmission went out and needs to be replaced. Also, the brakes will not release while the brake pedal is depressed, this occurs every time, and causes the rims to get hot, causing three blowouts on the front end. The dealership is unable to determine a problem, but the shoes have been replaced 6 times and the rotors were replaced twice.

Car was bought used form kia deal 7/1/2003 a little under 2 yrs left on warranty have done regular maint. Per mfg spec. Went on vacation to main 5/12/05 came back 5/21/05 and found transmission fuild on garage floor. Went to I went to mech (pep boys) because thougth when I had transmission flush per Dodge spec that someting wasnt right. Mech said that it wasn't anything thay had done and that thay coundnt fix it I had to go to Dodge it was a spec. Valve that was leaking and thay need tools that thay didn't have. I told them that it was just 9 days out of warranty. . I have had four recalls on this van and thay have fix all problems . I just think Dodge should pay for the repair. It going to cost me 500. 00 to fix it. I would understand if the van had more miles on it but it only has 35863 miles in three years. When I bought it had 17,000 mile I work 7 miles from work. I cant see why this should have his problem. My son work for atc bus company any thay have had the same problem with these vans and have to be change out at less then 35,000 mles. If you could help me out with investagating this matter thanks vyonnee szalai ebitt 43720 serenity court lancaster CA 93535.

When driving the vehicle through varying speeds the vehicle shifts improperly. Sometimes it is an extremely hard shift between second and third gear at speeds of 20-30 mph where the vehicle will pull back and then lurch forward and a loud thud occurs. It shifts improperly with the same actions when it shifts down into first gear when attempting to stop. It also shifts erratically between 3rd and 4th gear on the expressway at speeds of 55-65 mph. However these issues are not consistent and the problem doesn't occur every time the vehicle shifts in to these gears. The first time the vehicle was taken into service they identified the problem as a bad transmission program. However, after they claimed to have "fixed" the issues, my vehicle' s transmission problems worsened instead of improving. Since then the vehicle has been in for service two more times where the Dodge mechanic said they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, and refused to fix my vehicle. They will only drive it around the block and if it doesn't act up they send it home and say there is no problem.

Vehicle was parked in a parking lot with the engine running, consumer stepped out of the vehicle to move an object out of the parking lot, and vehicle popped out of park into reverse. This caused the vehicle to roll backwards and hit another vehicle before stopping.

When shifting gears at low speeds transmission would locked up. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

The vehicle will not go higher than 30 mph, anything over may destroy the engine. Tvehicle is sticking in second gear.

Consumer states while traveling at 55 mph heard a grinding noise in front of vehicle. Consumer pulled over, checked the vehicle. Consumer restarted vehicle, and it would not go forward, only backwards.

2002 Dodge Caravan rolled back while in park and hit a tree head on. None of the air bags deployed and the steering wheel never locked. Ph.
