Default Truck problem. What was wrong, and did it really get better?



Remind me to never loan you my car.
Did you buy the right fluid for that vahicle? Using the wrong tranny
fluid can cause these problems.

I had one Dodge Caravan that had such a tranny problem, and learned a
lot about it before it finally quit working altogether.


I've known more-than-one person who actually bought a second
Dodge Caravan after having numerous transmission problems
with the first one .. and
even if the warranty or extended warranty covered the repair -
there's still the un-reliability factor ; plus the long lay-up
for repairs and multiple service / diagnosis visits ..
All for an automatic transmission - that ~ all other car makers
have managed to make - reliable if not robust.
I once considered an entry-level Dodge Journey ~ 7 years ago -
when they were on sale - decent option package ; very good price ;
nice to drive ; but I came to my senses and took a pass -
- it oozed cheapness and had 2 or 3 really annoying features
that I couldn't bring myself to overlook ..
plus a dismal resale value.
