| Description of the problem | My 2013 dodge grand caravan was purchased new during feb. Of 2013. Shortly after the purchase of this vehicle i noticed that the transmission was slipping. The transmission then started to go into manual mode for no reason. I have also been driving and the van loses all power to the front wheels. All of the problems listed happen intermittently. During the first four trips to multiple dodge dealerships they stated they could not reproduce the problem and no errors were showing up in the computer. When the next incident occurred i video taped it. On the fifth trip to the dodge dealership they agreed there was a problem after reviewing the video. The dealership again worked on my van but they could not find the problem. The dealership did change the shifter to see if that would take care of the issue. It didn't. The van now has 11000 miles on it and i have been forced to file under the lemon laws because chrysler has failed to take care of the problem. |
