3 Transmission Failure problem

Also had fuel pump failure in conjunction with transmission failure w/in the first year to year and a half of ownership of this vehicle. The dealer contacted Chrysler, but I was not eligible for lemon law coverage. They did extend the warranty on this leased vehicle. (dealership) I have never felt safe in this vehicle, and I cannot believe that we paid $32500 for something that is only worth less than $10000 today. Chrysler should buy these vehicles back from people, but they have been unwilling to assist.
