Automatic Transmission Cooler problems of the 2000 Dodge Neon

See complaint 10053281 for initial back round info. Radiator replaced due to coolant transmission blow-out. That cost me $500. Then when the 5 star dealer tested the car, the transmission failed. Dealer wanted 600 just to investigate and said that it could cost as much as $2,500 addl to replace. I just read about complaint 10039597 with same problem. It sounds like there is a mfg defect that Chrysler is not owning up to. I called Chrysler about this and they were not going to do anything about this because I did not buy extended coverage. Please get back to me. Thank you.

Fitting in bottom of radiator popped out causing transmission fluid to leak out. Replaced radiator and 3 months later had to have transmission fixed. At the time of the radiator malfunction the car had 34,000 miles on it. At the time of the transmission failure, the car had 35,000 miles on it. The warranty period ended January 1, 2003. The failure of the radiator happened in the middle of March, 2003. Daimler Chrysler only paid $250. 00 to have radiator replaced. I was told by the general manager of a 5-star Chrysler dealership that the transmission could not have been harmed at the time the radiator failed. It cost me $1251. 00 to have my transmission fixed. The second gear band was in pieces in the transmission.

Transmission cooling line connector to radiator have popped out and caused fluid to leak. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.

Transmission line hose connector blewout, causing vehicle to stall out and die. Dealer has inspected vehicle and radiator. Please provide further informaiton.
