Total repair amount $4000 dollars and counting. Dodge minivans from (2008 on) must all be disposable that is my opinion from my experience.These vehicles are not reliable, they are toy minivans made to break down fast. The D for Dodge should stand for (DISPOSABLE Dodge minivan) Get them at your nearest (DOLLAR STORE).Manufacture by other than the CROOKED ATOMOTIVE CEO DODGE Will have to replace transmission.
