| My 1991 plymouth grand voyager has had so many problems. i have had to replace the whole exhaust system, the transmission, put in a new fuel pump, a new radiator, now it failed an emissions test and i was smelling fuel when i was driving only to find out my fuel rail is leaking or should i say squirting as onto the engine, which almost resulted in a fire had i had been smart enough to check it out. now the shop where i had to have it towed since it was unsafe to drive says you can only get the part from a dealer which costs 319.00 and that does not include labor. *nm | |||

| We are the second owners of this vehicle. based on all service records the transmission in this vehicle has been repaired twice, and is now broken again. each time there is a problem it seems to be almost exactly two years later. in the 2nd instance it was 1 yr and 3 months after repair that the transmission required major work again. it appears from the testimony of many other owners of the same vehicle that this problem is widespread and should be considered a flaw in the design of the transmission. we are overall quite happy with this vehicle however this type or re-occuring problem is absolutely unacceptable, especially considering the time frame. we intend to seek assistance and/or compensation with regards to this re-occuring problem. any additional information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.*ak | |||

| To whom it may concern on the date of march 9th 1998 i was down the rt 2 road in latham, ny then all of a sudden the transmission dropped in low gear and at 45 miles and it slowed down to around 30 windings sound coming from the gears and i knew it was the transmission then i took it to goldstein's where i bought it and they took a look at it and told me it was the transmission and told me a unbelievable price to fix so then i took to cottmans at 912 new loudon road in latham ,ny.i was quoted a price at $1,350.00 so i had them fix it, the mileage was at 88,490 now after about 3 days later i drove this van for 24,000 miles more which the mileage was at 113,000 miles and the transmission went again. i am married with 3 children and did not cause this by neglect , this car was serviced on time on everything and taken care of . i feel that in the first place this transmission should of been a recall in the first place. the transmission that was put into these vans were not made to handle the vehicle. thank you . | |||

| I was driving plymouth grand voyager 1991 when its transmission broke down on i95, near washington dc. i luckily parked it on left shoulder. but imagine if it would have happened on a bridge or any inclined road, then it may have caused multiple accidents. the transmission breakdown is a serious design fault in plymouth vans and it is major safety concern for all of us. so i like to know that if this complain will be heard and i will be notified for the outcome. thanks. *ak | |||
