I PURCHASED MY MINIVAN FROM BEDARD BROS. ON FEB. 21, 2000. ON APRIL 3, 2000 IT HAD A REBUILT TRANSMISSION PUT IN BY BEDARD BROS. BECAUSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THEN IT STARTED LEAKING FLUID. BEDARDS SAID A PIN CAUSED A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION CASE. ON MAY 10, 2000, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION DROPPING INTO A LOW GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. A MECHANIC AT BEDARD BROS. HOOKED HIS COMPUTER TO THE VEHICLE AND RESET THE CODES NOT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN OCT. 2001 I AGAIN FELT A "CLUNK" AND IT DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR BUT THAT SOMEHOW CORRECTED ITSELF. BUT, NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO BEDARD BROS. ON 10/15/01 AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE FRONT PUMP SEAL. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 10/17/01. ON 10/18/01 I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION STILL LEAKING SO I DROVE IT BACK TO BEDARD BROS. THE PUT SOME TYPE OF DYE INTO THE SYSTEM THAT WILL HELP THEM LOCATE THE SOURCE. HE STATED IT MAY BE A CRACK OR SOMETHING BUT IT HAS TO GO BACK FOR A LOOK ON 10/22/01. MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE ARE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. I TALKED TO A PERSON FROM FENN ST. TRANSMISSION WHO SAID THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOWN FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND THAT THERE IS A PIN THAT BREAKS LOOSE AND OFTEN GOES THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION CASE. *AK

BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING A MOVE FROM MARYLAND TO GEORGIA, RESULTING IN FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING RAINSTORM. ARRIVED AT DEALER ONLY 451 MILES AFTER EXPIRATION OF 75K WARRANTY. HOWEVER, NEITHER THE DEALER NOR CHRYSLER WOULD ASSIST IN REPAIR COSTS. HAVE SUBMITTED TWO LENGTHY VOQ'S TODAY AS I AM FINALLY FED UP WITH THIS CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND THE FAILURE OF CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA TO ENACT ADDITIONAL FORCED RECALLS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE TRANSMISSION, FUEL TANK, BODY CONTROL MODULE, CLOCK SPRING (WHICH RESULTED IN INOPERATIVE AIRBAGS), AND SUSPENSION PARTS ALL FAILED LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD HAVE. ADDITIONALLY, A CURSORY SEARCH OF BOTH NHTSA AND OTHER WEB SITES REVEALS THAT THESE PARTS HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. DESPITE BEING REPLACED BY A DEALER ONLY TWO YEARS AGO, THE STEERING RACK ON MY MINIVAN IS ALREADY FAILING AGAIN. I AM EXTREMELY UNIMPRESSED WITH BOTH THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER IN ADDRESSING REPEATED FAILURES.

THIS MINI VAN IS MY 5TH SUCH VEHICLE. EACH ONE EXCEPT FOR MY 2000 (WHICH ONLY HAS 25000 MILES) HAS EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION TROUBLES EARLIER THAN I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE. MY 1996 GRAND CARAVAN HAS JUST BEEN PUT IN THE SHOP DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. DIFFERENTIAL GEAR HAD A TOOTH BREAK OFF CAUSING LOUD CLUNK ON ACCELERATION. CHRYSLER CORP HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS THAT THEIR MIMIVAN TRANSMISSIONS ARE TROUBLE SOME HOWEVER HAVE NOT SEEMED TO WANT TO IMPROVE THE RELIABILTY OF THEM. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR CONSUMERS TO GET SOME COMPENSATION FROM CHRYSLER FOR THESE LEMON TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFO THAT COULD HELP ME SEEK RENUMERATION. *AK

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY WILL ALSO BE PLACED ON THIS COMPONENT FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 18, 2002.

Sep 13, 2000
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

Aug 6, 1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS. THE SHOULDER HARNESS RESTRAINT ON THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT CAN BECOME DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT WHEN THE SAFETY BELT LATCH PLATE BECOMES CONTAMINATED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN RELEASING A CHILD FROM THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE LATCH MECHANISM. AN EXTENDER WILL BE ADDED TO THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ANCHOR FOR THE CHILD SEAT SAFETY BELTS SO THAT THE RELEASE CLIPS ARE MORE VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE OPERATOR IN THE EVENT THAT THE RETRACTOR MECHANISM CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED. IN ADDITION, AN INSTRUCTIONAL OWNER'S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT CARD WILL BE PROVIDED.
Jul 18, 1996
THE BOLTS WHICH SECURE THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT MODULES TO THE SEAT FRAME CAN BREAK.

Jan 16, 1996
A STATIC ELECTRIC CHARGE CAN BUILD UP ON THE UNGROUNDED METAL SECTION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE.
Consequence & remedy

Jan 11, 1996
IN CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD OIL GALLEY PLUG DOES NOT SEAL PROPERLY AND ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD OIL IS NOT ADEQUATELY RETAINED.
Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN EXPANSION PLUG AND RETAINING BRACKET OVER THE CYLINDER HEAD OIL GALLEY PLUG.
Dec 8, 1995
THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE CAN ALLOW FUEL TO PASS INTO THE VAPOR CANISTER RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy

Nov 28, 1995
THE BOLTS WHICH SECURE THE REAR BENCH SEATS TO THE SEAT RISERS MAY BE EMBRITTLED AND FRACTURE.
Consequence & remedy
