Automatic Transmission problems of the 2000 Dodge Intrepid

Consumer was driving and heard a ticking sound. Then, engine surged and stalled. Consumer replaced the transmission, but problem recurred.

My transmission went out on me on 11/22/02. I got up on a long birdge called the buckman bridge with my 3 children and 2 nephews coming home from school when the car wouldn't move. I was very terrified because I could have been rear ended and knocked off of the side of the bridge. It was very cold on that night and me and the 5 children had to walk down a bridge at night with no side rails on it. I had to call a tow truck to tow it to my house. I had a mechanic do a diagnostic test and it read a transmission code. So, therefore, I had it towed to transmission shop that reprinted the transmission was gone out and several components had to be replaced. Now, I'm out $2000 dollars for a car I have had for 10 months. After talking to several of my CO-workers at least 4 of them know someone that owns a 2000 Dodge interpid and has had this same problem within the last month. I'm a single mother and thought I was getting a dependable car. I have since searched the internet and have found that Dodge/Chrysler has experienced alot of complaints about transmission problems and I can't believe that it going to take someone dying because of failure of transmission for this to be resolved. Please advise me on actions I can take. Dt.

Metal chips were found in the oil from the transmission and it had to be replaced. Car only had 30,000 miles on it. I got the car with 21,000 miles on it. Now the car has 50,000 miles on it and the transmission needs to be replaced again.

While turning off of highway onto exit ramp vehicle kept turning off while continuing home; tow truck came by to pick up vehicle and carry it to a dealer. Vehicle was inspected and had transmission replaced.
