Purchased used Plymouth in October 2007 with 5393 miles on the odometer. Registered and drove it from December 3, 2007 to Jan 2, 2008. Noticed significant amount of transmission fluid under the vehicle and film of fluid on back window and hatch area. Observed fluid pumping out from under the car. Mechanic tells me the solenoid block most likely has failed and will need to be replaced. I am told this is a "common" failure in later model 41te transmissions.

Vehicle not wanting to switch gears. It goes very slow until finally it switches over. The oil was leaking out of the van. The oil leak was repaired. As for the transmission, it all started off when it would slow by itself. Then it gradually got worse. On 02-12-03 I had taken it in to get checked for a oil leak and the problem with the gears not shifting. I was told I needed transmission service, to replace the valve cover gasket, and to replace the transmission output shaft seal. I did the repair that was supposed to fix the problem but of course it didn't. I took it in to the dealer and they found nothing wrong with the gears. But said a fuel injection cleaning, throttle body cleaning, and a tune up would fix the problem. This was done on March 26, 2003. They replaced the throttle body gasket and spark plugs. They did find a leak in the head gasket. They had to replace cylinder head gasket, water pump and timing belt. In November of 2000 the front pump seal was leaking, pan gasket leaking, side cover leaking, differential cover leaking, and rear main oil seal leaking. They removed the transaxle, removed and replaced the rear main seal. A few months ago the engine light started coming on when gears wouldn't shift. And it got worse everyday. Now the engine light is on all the time. I took it into aamco on 04-23-2004 to get it checked out. They said it wasn't safe to drive so they had to tow it to their station. It passed all the equipment testing and was told it may just be the spark plugs. So I replaced the spark plugs that day. It ran well for a little while. Then it started again. I had to stop driving my vehicle because it is a potential danger to my family. It would go very very slow when I was trying to cross the road. And with on coming vehicles on both sides we could easily get into a major collision. I have tried to talk to the Chrysler but they refused to help me. And at this point I still don't know what is wrong with it.

Problems with 1999 Plymouth Voyager expresso transmission. The pin came out the differential and it cracked the case.

- Denison, IA, USA

We own a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager. At approximately 69,000 miles while driving approximately 35 mph the transmission literally blew up and the vehicle came to a sudden stop and nearly left the road. A part had broken off from the inside of the differential and blew a 6 inch by 3 inch hole through the casing between the differential and transmission. The casing debris that blew into the transmission completely mangled the transmission. No one was injured only because of the slow speed of the car at the time. We have photographs of the transmission and the mechanic's report.

My transmission had a huge bang and completely shut down. The mechanic said that the pin blew from the inside out. This is a common occurence with these minivans, but chrystler is not helpful at all. I believe that this is a factory defect.

While driving the vehicle constantly lost power and felt like it was going to stall. The transmission also jerked excessively when changing gears.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

The transmission cracked, which caused fluid to leak. The repair dealer stated that the transmission case housing was cracked and caused lost of fluid and premature failure of the transaxle assembly. This occurred due to poor design and was a common problem in these vehicles.

I had just returned from a trip to branson, mo. When I got up the next morning to go to work the card would not shift gears. Therefore, I could only go 10 mph. I took the car the next day to my dealership for service expecting a free replacement since just six months before, I had had the same problem. The mileage the first time was 49384 and it occurred on Dec 10, 2001. The service dealership is frontier motor company at po box 430 in el reno, ok. Phone is 405-262-6433. I have always taken my car to them for service and maintenance. They say that the part is the sensor transmission input/output speed (part #4800879) at a cost of $146.16 the first time and $114.42 this second time. After discussing with the dealership that they should replace it free because obviously the first replacement was defective, the service department informed me that the part only carried a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty. I was 408 miles over. I believe Plymouth has a problem with this part.

The transmissions Dodge is producing will suddenly kick out of gear without warning(no noise, vibration, etc...). this I S exactly what happenned in my case. Traveling in the left lane of the interstate@ 70mph transmission suddenly began to coast greatly reducing my speed. I then had to try to cross traffic to get to the emergency lane. That is when my family has to walk up the interstate to find a tow truck. Chrysler has over 10 years of trans. Trouble and they dont seem to be doing anything about it.
