I'm on my 3rd Chryco minivan. All have been bought used, 1st was an '89 that didn't have the fluid changed. The tranny was rebuilt under warranty at almost 70,000 miles. I serviced it regularly & had no problems when I traded it in with 125,000 miles on the second one. It's a '91 bought with 85,000 miles on it & a fresh rebuild. It's currently got 168,000 miles on it with the only problem being that I need to replace the motor mounts. Haven't had problem one with the transmission. Bought the latest, a '99 Town & Country last with 50,000 miles on it. Currently have 88,000 with no tranny problems at all. I'm not saying that these trannys don't have any problems but don't label all of them with the same broad brush. Unfortunately people are 10 times as likely to complain as to compliment.
