My Caravan has some kind of transmission problem. When it starts to mess up it will not change gears when I am driving or will shut down as I am driving (65 mph). It has been happening for a year and has been to the shop many (5+) times. It is in the shop right now in johnsons of chickasha,oklahoma(405-222-2062) say they can fix it but I don't believe they can. David stanly in midwest city has tried too.

One day on my way to work (about 10 miles from my house) I was going approximately 55 mph when the transmission slammed into second gear and would not shift into another gear. I had my van towed to a shop and it was two sensors in the transmission. The very next day I went to get my van I went to work the van seemed to run like new, and then when I got off of work I rolled down my power window on the drivers side and the window would not roll back up! to have the two sensors fixed was around two hundred dollars and to get the window fixed was one hundred and twenty five dollars and that part for the window was the regulator and the motor, for a new part was like three hundred dollars, I got one used. It has been six months since I got these things replaced and now they are both broke again! the sensors and the drivers side window motor and regulator. I do have the parts that are defective now but I do not have the parts from before.

My 2001 Dodge Caravan without any notice suddenly locked up and would not shift into gear. The engine would rev and not shift back in gear. I took the van to my mechanic who looked it over and referred me to the dealer. Upon taking my van with 57,000 miles to dealer I was informed that I would need to replace the transmission costing upwards of $3300. I called Dodge to explain that the vehicle had been properly maintained and asked if they were willing to assist with the repair and was told no.

Transmission failure causing gears to slip.
Vehicle hesitates and jerks before going into gear. Dealer has inspected vehicle and informed consumer that transmission needs to be overhauled. Prior to taking the vehicle to the dealer, it would not shift into gear. Then it would jerk into gear. The engine light never illuminated. There has never been any indication of a transmission problem until two weeks before taking to the dealer. The rubber seals in the transmission got hard and needed replacing.
