Automatic Transmission problems of the 1996 Dodge Ram Van

While driving at highway speeds transmission went out. Vehicle was no longer driveable.

The transmission locked into 2nd gear and stalled while going 60 mph on the highway. Power steering was lost and getting the van across 3 lanes of city traffic while losing speed was very difficult. Complete transmission needed to be replaced w/ repairs at owners cost. Only 6 months over 3 yr. Warrenty and only 12,000 miles on the 36,000 mile warrenty. Chrysler would not take resposiblity even when we had the van into a Chrysler dealer the month before complaining that something was wrong with the transmission. They returned the van saying there was no problem.
