While driving the transmission failed. Contacted the dealer, and was told because of the age of the vehicle there was nothing they could do.

The transmission failed in my 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan sport with less than 66,000 miles on it. I was able to get it to the dealership where I bought it using the "limp home" mode! I contacted daimlerchrysler and asked them to pay for the repairs and they declined. I was aware of this problem when I bought it four years ago but was told that it had been resolved!.
I own a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan sport. The transmission has failed with less than 66,000 miles on the vehicle. From my research, daimlerchrysler has known about the premature transmission failure for over 15 years but have refused to remedy the situation while continuing to install the same transmissions in all Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth vans. In 1992, Chrysler renamed the a604 ultradrive as the 41te transmission to escape bad publicity! why is the government letting this continue? do we have to wait until someone gets killed?.
The transmission failed while driving. The consumer felt and heard a loud bang under the vehicle. When the consumer checked under the hood, transmission fluid was flowing out. The mechanic found a pin that had flown through the transmission and ripped apart.
While in traffic traveling aprox. 35mph vehicle suddenly dropped to lowest gear,rpms shot up,speedometer failed,service engine light came on. To shop immediately where mechanic said he has seen many Dodge carvan transmission failures and to take it back to the dealer. I am the 2nd owner and don't know if the original owner had this problem and perhaps thats why he traded it with only about 40k miles on it?dealer says probably a sensor,can't fix today - come back Monday.
