Hi everyone. I have a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT, and we recently had the torque converter replaced because it started to run really rough in drive and most of the time it would stall as soon as it was put into drive. Well, it was diagnosed as a torque converter issue, so we had that replaced at the dealer under our Lifetime Extensed Warranty, and now since they've replaced it, it runs perfectly fine in Drive, but when it's in Park, Neutral, and especially Reverse, it shakes very badly. Runs rough as if it's going to die, and the dealership told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with it, and that the van is

Sounds like there is a problem with the Torque converter in the transmission or Transmission itself. When you put it in gear it should initially go into neutral but occasionally the transmission will stick part way in gear and partially in neutral putting a load on the motor. It is not enough of a load to get the vehicle moving but it is enough to stall the motor. This could be a simple clutch adjustment in the Automatic clutch to a PCV valve issue to a need to rebuild the whole transmission because of a problem with the control body or transmission pump itself. Sorry for the bad news.
