Description of the problem	I purchased this vehicle used from carmax in april 2108. It has had continued rough transmission issues especially in and out of 2nd after multiple adjustments by carmax and chrystler/dodge dealership. It jerks roughly and makes loud clunking sounds. I am fearful this vehicle is becoming unsafe to drive. Not only that but with less than 60k miles the transmission should not be going out. I have found myself walking and taking the bus in fear of my car breaking down on me. This is not a reputable vehicle. Please nobody buy these vans!
