Replying to: tom166 (Nov 03, 2007 2:53 pm) Some had previously said it fixed the problem (simidave), some said it improved but not completely fixed (tom166). What about issy and izzy5, did it fix yours. I am asking because it didn't fix mine. It was a lot better after the update, but it gets worst with time. The manufacturer is trying to make me feel as though I am the only one out there for which it didn't work. Here was their response : It has been our experience that the bulletin service, properly completed, has been very successful in bringing the symptoms as described to a satisfactory conclusion . So could you give an update on your transmission so I can see if I am really alone in this? Thanks |

Replying to: tom166 (Dec 09, 2007 5:46 pm) The total operation of any vehicle is subjective in nature which would result in differences of opinion. You may bug them until they fix it, but I'm warning you, I was already told by the dealership that they can't do anything more than what the sofware update did. I have my CAMVAP hearing on next Monday. I'll let you know what the arbitrator had to say.

Replying to: chdabren (Nov 28, 2007 3:42 pm) It might be mentioned that a lot of owners use a 7-pin to 5-pin adapters when towing their boats on trailers with brakes. These trailers typically handle no more than 3,000 pounds. That said, I still wouldn't recommend a T&C for towing a boat. Since AWD is no longer an option (after Sto 'n Go was introduced), one shouldn't count on front wheel drive to pull a boat out of a public access going uphill on a wet ramp. |

Our 2001 T & C has aprox 75,000 miles. This past week we had the AT Fluid changed for the first time using the Chrysler recommended product spec. Immediately afterwards the Van "jerks" when slowing down to around 28 mph after being in the 4th Gear at about 40 mph. We never had this problem before. What might have caused this problem to suddenly start and is there an adjustment to the AT that could correct without a major tear-down/ repair?

Replying to: jrakers007 (Dec 17, 2007 12:09 pm) Be nervous, be very nervous. Your transmission does NOT call for a fluid service of any kind, regardless of mileage (unless you're towing, I think). A few questions spring to mind: - What caused you to opt for this service in the first place? - Why did you opt for a "flush" instead of a pan drop, filter replacement, and top-off type of service? - While your transmission may well have been refilled with ATF+4, what was it flushed with? - Who did the work, a dealer, a Jiffy Boob, an Indy shop? I'm thinking that the first thing that I'd do would be to swap out the filter and top the transmission off again. Drive it a few thousand miles, pump out as much fluid as you can and top it off once again. Best Regards, Shipo |
