I have a transmission leake. Chrysler recall is e 13. I could not get a dealship to take the vehicle in on Friday. Called Chrysler, they were not really any help, the did provide me the name of a Dodge dealership in the area. They took the car Friday 11/18/05, said they fixed the recall. The leak is worse that before. Just like before I have transmission fluid spraying on the exhaust. This per Chrysler's recall letter is a fire hazard. Further the recall we recieved yesterday indicates that the transmission should have been flushed and/or the troque converter repalced. Neither of these things were done. I have the car back and can not get a return call from the dealeship to get the car back into the shop.

: the contact stated the check engine light illuminated and transmission fluid leaked from the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to the dealer numerous times, but the dealer was unable to accurately remedy the problem. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v396000 concerning the automatic transmission however the recall did not correct the problem. Afterwards, the transmission would not shift properly. The vehicle is having the same problems as indicated in the recall again. Also, the dealer suggested the automatic control of the sunroof assembly which failed to work properly was related to the ongoing transmission problem as well, but no further repairs were made.
