2002 DODGE CARAVAN User Comment / Complaint

Transmission failed at 59,000 miles- will cost me at least $2650 when i pick it up thursday, 10/25/07. what choice do i have, i have to get to work. i bought it new and it will be paid off next october, 2008. i've had that van to the two dodge dealers and at least two different individual mechanics. i've paid for emissions repairs, 3 sets of tires. i had the "caravan" letters replaced and they are now etched out again, i've been driving it and it quit before, but today's incident, was just a near miss i wasn't crushed between a school bus and a tractor trailer. the van just wouldn't go. i was just sick all day-scared and actually left work early.
