i elected not to purchase the extended warranty because i put a lot of miles on my vehicles (50k-60k/yr). the trans started acting up at about 36k. not going into first gear, not coming out of first gear. this trans is the a518 automatic w/overdrive. at 47k the cel came on. i took it to the trans shop for an overhaul, torque converter, front planetary, and some other things. 2,300 dollars. an article at jasper engines and transmissions website began "due to the high failure rate of these transmissions from to lack of lubrication". i'm writing Chrysler next and i better get some money back. the trans shop was familiar with the problem and sold me a remedy.
