I'd have said the same about Chrysler vans. From 98 - 06 I owned 3 Dodge
Caravans. Each needed a tranny at some point (one of them went through 2)
and the last one also ended up with a new engine. The 2 older ones got up
to around 150,000 miles. The last one just hit 90,000 when the engine
went (within a year of the tranny).
I'll never buy another Chrysler minivan again, and possibly not another
Chrysler vehicle...
