a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan so bad that Chrysler bought it back from me 30 months later. (I had that van 2.5 years; I drove it only 28,000 miles. But in that time, I had 16 different warranty-covered repairs–excluding routine maintenance–on 13 different parts of the van.

<p>How many of the repairs involved the automatic transmission (a notorious weak point in many Chrysler vehicles of the 1990s and early 2000s)?</p>
