general problems of the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan - part 2

Before 50k miles the transmission went out and a cylinder blew at the same time. There was no warning this would happen and when it happened we were in traffic and caused the vehicle to jump almost hitting another car. This was repaired by Dodge. At the time of pick up the technician in the shop told us that this is a common issue with these vans and he sees this all the time. Also the breaks have not worked properly since purchase. An online form shows many owners have this same issue and have determined that the break system is under rated for the size of vehicle.

During the course of driving van skips/slips then will start decreasing speed but then will pick back up. This happens on city streets or highways it does not matter. Started in July to present.

I have a Ford focus with the faulty transmission. The dealer already installed 2 clutches and every time I bring it back now they just reprogram it which maybe lasts one day. I spoke with corporate a few years ago that is when they replaced the 2nd clutch. The car will just down shift as I'm driving it out of the blue, bucks, chatters like its going to blow up and a delay in starting. It's not a safe car to be driving they wont do anything about these vehicles now you just get the brush off from the dealer. When they replaced the first clutch the dealer admitted that is was the worst that they have seen.
