Three problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Our transmission has failed and needs to be replaced. It began with the gears slipping, the transmission would jerk, shutter at low speeds. The engine would stall when trying to shift from park to drive or reverse. I have contacted daimler Chrysler customer service, but no help there as it is not under warranty. After seeing hundreds of similar transmission problems for this particular year of caravans, I am furious. There has got to be a defect in the transmissions of these vehicles. Is there any help out there?.
Intermittently while driving automatic transmission malfunctioned, causing transmission to slip to neutral position which almost caused an accident. Dealer unable to find the cause of the problem.
Transmission cannot hold the car in park and gears will slip even when the shift column is still in park which very dangerous at that time it may hold the vehicle and then slip and start rolling.
