VEHICLE NOW ON THIRD TRANSMISSION. THE 604 OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION EVIDENTLY HAS A MAXIMUM LIFE OF ABOUT 70,000 MILES, IF THAT MUCH. THE 604 IS PRONE TO FAIL AT ANY TIME. CHRYSLER/DODGE KNOWS THIS. THE DEALERS KNOW THIS. THE REPAIR SHOPS KNOW THIS. THE NHTSA SHOULD KNOW THIS. OUR BANK ACCOUNT CERTAINLY DOES. THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY DEFECT ALTHOUGH A COMPLETE FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION WHEN NONE SHOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE AND/OR PROPERTY. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN US TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUR TRANSMISSION FAILED. IN THIS RESPECT, WE WERE LUCKY.
