Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2005 Dodge Caravan

For the last 4 years I've been taking my vehicle into the dealership with concern of transmission problems. My transmission slips in 2 and 3rd gear, I've been in reverse and my van has gone into drive, I've been in drive and my vans gone in reverse, my van hesitates, stalls and even dies. My transmissions feels as though it's dropped into "neutral" when it slips gear causing my van to immediately decelerate speed (sometimes die), freeway or city driving. I have taken my van in handfuls of time with this concern and everytime I was told my transmission is fine, 1 tech said he noticed a slight slip in gears. But there was nothing to worry about. I've been to 3 different Dodge dealerships and no one has noticed the transmission problem. I've taken it to aamco 1 time and they instantly found the problem, they just can't repair my transmission because I am still under dealer warranty. What aamco has found 2-3 gear slips bad, torque converter: noisy, bad, tcc/lockup: slips bad. Dodge will not honor aamco findings, which it to be expected but I have 3 children under the age of 9 and not one dealer wants to take it under warranty and fix the known problem.

Since March while driving slowly about 20 mph, the vehicle made rumbling sounds like it was driving over rumbling strips on the highway. This problem is sporadic. No dash light illuminated indicating there was any type of problem. There is a technical service bulletin which references this problem. The consumer noticed that this seems to be a common problem with sprinters which later turns into a torque converter problem. It may also cause problems with the transmission. The vehicle has not been taken into to the dealer yet. The owner has not contacted daimler Chrysler. This problem has existed ever since the purchase of the vehicle. The owner would like to refer the investigator to sprintervan@yahoogroups. Com website for more information about the problem. Owner also would like to express frustration about the sprinter not being available as one of the choices in the complaint database.
