Seven problems related to transmission slip out of gear have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Reported and inquired to daimler Chrysler and awaiting response. When shifting from park to drive transmission will not engage. This first began about one year ago and was mentioned during regular services but nothing was determined. Problem is becoming more regular. Also experience an incident when entering a highway tranmission would not shift out of first gear. I increased speed to about 45 mph and tranmission still would not shift and rpm was beginning red line. After pulling over and stopping and turning off vehicle and restarting did vehicle operate normally. Dt.
At 72,691 miles, the automatic transmission would not shift. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt transmission. At 120,000 miles transmission slipped out of gear, causing the vehicle to slow down and not move.
Made a the purchase in Nov. With 37373 miles on the vehicle, major transmission failure at 46500 miles. The transmission will no longer shift out of low gear. Neither Chrysler or the dealer from which I purchased the vehicle will stand behind there product. These vehicles are known for having severe transmission problems and Chrysler claims they have fixed the issues so why is it that these vehicles continue to have these problems. A major recall for all these vehicles should be made as the consumers are continually being lied to and taken advantage of.
