At 46K miles I had to have a complete transmission overhaul. At 52K I was actually on my way to OK city with my cruise control on when the car jerked and I noticed I was losing speed. the check engine light came on and the rest is history. I was towed to the nearest Dodge dealer for yet another complete transmission overhaul. My advice to anyone out there is don't buy a Dodge and if you do make sure you have the extended warranty because the repairs will be costly. My second problem was due to mechanic error (they left a part out the first time, and yes it was done by Dodge dealer mechanic) Dodge has made no effort to compensate me for my time without a car or for the 100 dollar deductible I had to pay twice even though the repairs were not done correctly the first time.

I have a dodge grand caravan that we bought from Monarch Dodge in Fort Lauderdale, FL in 2003 as used. Last year we started having engine lights come on, brake fluid leaks, power steering leaks, and transmission problems (grinding and shifting issues)
When I contacted Monarch Dodge about the problem, they told me for the FIRST time that my car was previously a RENTAL, and therefore the Transmission warranty was Void...WHAT...They wont do anything to help me unless I pay full price...Do i have any rights in the transaction???? Dodge should be ashamed, never buy another...

I bought an extended warranty on my dodge, and the transmission went out right after the warranty expired, so I was screwed out of using the extended warranty, and had to replace this. The dealer wanted more than $3K for it, but I found a cheaper transmission place for about $2500. It seemed too soon for the transmission to go out.

Union Dodge of Garden Grove sold me the van telling me this is the vehicle for you. I bought it after 3 months and 14 days 2,700 miles later the transmission went out. They would not do anything. F*ck Union Dodge. Im done with piece of sh*t Dodge autos they arent worth a f*ckin dime my advice buy a Honda Passport.

Only having 69000 miles on my van, i shouldn't have to drop and new transmission in it! The worse part, 2 1/2 years later and only 27,000 miles, the transmission went out again! And of course, the warranty was only for 1 year so i had to drop another $2600 for the 2nd transmission. I got it back and a week later it was making a clicking sound. Took it back and they had to put in another transmission!!! Thank god this was under warranty. But really, 3 transmissions and it has less then 95,000 mile on it?? I'll never buy a dodge van again. For the money i spent on transmissions, i could have bought a brand new vehicle by now!
