Default 2 cars dead in 1 hour

Will driving the Prix yesterday Car just shut off. So I started it again and drove home find. Did throw a code so pressed a few buttons on the Aeroforce(I love this thing) and got the code P0102 Mass air flow sensor low volume input. I hate MAF's. Tiny part not so Tiny money.150 bucks. I tried to clean it but I drove the car for about another 5 minutes and it died again then again and again. Got it to the parts store and bought a new one today. So after it threw the code last night I left it at home and Me my wife and some friend went to leave in the Grand Caravan got about 1 mile from the house and the Trans explodes. Fluid all over the ground and Grinding when in drive. It is dead. I do not even have park. So after loosing 2 cars in 1 hour we still went out we just had someone eles drive. Good news the Prix is fixed in about 30 Seconds and the bad new have no idea how much the trans is going to cost. Got the Prix one done for 2500 but that included Amisol fluid and a shift kit. I do not think I will be putting a **** kit in the Van!! I hate my life sometimes
