Chrysler bashing, I didn't say anything about chrysler. I said mini van. Everything wears out. Make the car heavier, make it less efficient and you will wear out stuff faster, right? It is a good reason to never buy a first or second year car, sometimes even a 3 or fourth year car. Google Chrysler van transmission trouble, Change the search to Ford or Chevy or Toyota.
Actually the only transmission I ever blew was on a Chevy minivan. I took it out for a test drive and ran it up to about 85 and something let go. I called the dealer on my cell phone and asked him to pick me up. I found my Ford minivan sitting in the back with the ash tray full. Test drove it and made an offer on it.
I think it is good insurance to put in an additional transmission oil cooler.
Take a deep breath. The world is not out bash Lee Iacocca's dream.

I lived in the mountains and we actually owned a Plymouth horizon and never noticed any weakness as you say in your expert opinion in the transmission. Why are you guys coming in this guys thread and saying what can happen, I read other threads about Honda's, etc etc and the discussion for the most part sticks to the topic? So why the Chrysler bashing?
