Contact owns a 1998, Plymouth, Voyager van. Transmission failed on Oct. 1, 2003 at only 35,700 miles.

Plymouth Voyager transmission failed at 36,000 miles. It was just out of the 3 year warranty. Some valve shot through the transmission housing. Transmission fluid sprayed all over the engine compartment including the exhaust. I'm surprised it didn't burn. To do a total rebuild the independent transmission shop had to weld the case because this failure is so common used transmission housings are scarce. This failure was repeated 3 more times in the year that I owned this vehicle. There were also 2 failures of an electronic control valve on the transmission. The transmission shop owner said he fixes many more Chrysler minivan transmissions than any other vehicle. He said its been an ongoing problem with them for at least a dozen years that keeps his family fed. Chrysler denied any knowledge of defective transmissions in their vehicles. My research says its an all too common failure in not only the minivans but in the pickup trucks and Jeep as well. I drove chyslers and Jeep all my life but now I won't buy either.

I have a Plymouth Voyager with 47,000 mi. I'd only had it for 4 mos. When the transmission started to act up. I have been told that it is probably on it's way out seeing as Chrysler knows not how to make a working product. It is very dangerous for me to try to pull out onto a road when I am not sure whether or not I am going to be able to go. When I do and it doesn't move, I then have to hurry up and gun it so as not to get hit from oncoming traffic. The car then jerks into gear after reving up to around 50 if I take it that far. I usually don't because then engine sounds like it is screaming. Shifting is a problem. It is well known to most Chrysler owners that there is a serious problem with their transmissions, yet Chrysler does nothing to upgrade or fix the defects. Had I known this information before I had bought the car, I would've bought a different make vehicle.
