| On a family trip to north carolina, the transmission of our 1996 plymouth voyager lost third gear traveling in heavy traffic along i-95 south of richmond, va. luckily my son was able to pull off the side of the road and travel a few miles without third gear to a chrysler repair shop. since the shop was closed we had to rent a van to complete the trip and return on monday to find out what happened. the repairs were not covered under a warranty because chrysler gave me a 6 year/100,000 mile warranty. although it has been 7 years since the purchase, the 57,300+ miles on the product does not reflect the 'minimum' mileage the transmission is good for. needless to say we paid for the entire cost of the transmission repair as well as the cost of the rental cars needed to complete the trip and the cost of hotel rooms necessary to stay over night and to make a 350 mile return trip to pick up the van. the van was not driven extensively or driven harshly during the 7 years i have have owned it. there is absolutely no reason the transmission of this car should lose an entire gear this early its life espcially if the prodcut is sold as a reliable, family-safe vehicle. my question is what further actions can i take to seek reimbursment to defray the repair costs from the chrysler corporation? please advise. thank you. linda l. klinksiek | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 1996 plymouth voyager. since november of 2003, the transmission has been replaced three different times. after purchasing a brand new transmission, it failed again the very same day and needed to be replaced again. the contact has had the top half of the engine rebuilt. the vehicle is stuck in drive and will not hold fluid. the front windshield wipers activate without a power surge in the vehicle. in addition, the rear bolts keep coming out of the shocks. the contact has taken the vehicle to have the bolts tightened three or four times. the engine is ticking and smoking. the serpentine belt slips off if it gets even slightly wet from snow or rain. the check engine light sporadically flashes on and off or constantly remains illuminated. the air conditioner was completely serviced; however, it cannot be used because of the transmission failure. the current mileage was 155,000 and failure mileage was 116,250. update 09/10/08 *cw updated 09/15/08. *jb | |||

| I own a 1996 plymouth voyager and on this min van the wipers act very erratic. they work when they want. sometimes they won't shut off and other times they will not come on at all or stop right in the middle of your view. i also have an issue with the serpentine belts popping off the drive line leaving you with no power steering or power brakes and completely disables the vehicle. i also experience issues with the rear shocks. the bolts come loose and detaches the rear shick from the van leaving it quite uncontrollable while driving. all 3 issues happens on many occasions. all 4 of these defects make this van very dangerous to drive or travel with. currently my van is sitting in my drive with a bad transmission. i have owned the van for 5 years now and in 5 years i have blown 3 transmissions. *tr | |||

| The transmission started slipping at 26,000 miles and at times, somewhat jerking into gear. the problem appeared to be worse when the car was cold and when you were shifting into higher gears, it wasn't as noticeable on downshifting. the problem was supposedly fixed but reappeared in less than 20,000 miles. the problem wasn't as noticeable the second time and we thought maybe it just needed an adjustment. we were informed that there was metal in the transmission fluid and the whole transmission had to be replaced. the van is a low mileage vehicle with easy town and highway driving miles and the vehicle has never towed anything. the vehicle appeared to have a factory installed defective unreliable transmission. *ak | |||

| Catastrophic failure of transmission at 54800 miles is shows a serious flaw in quality of the component. failure occurred at city speeds, but wife had just pulled out on to heavly traveled road(hwy 6) with an appropriate distance between her and an oncoming tracter trailer. failure of transmission caused the truck to catch up to her, an accident was avoided when she pulled to the side of the road. our 2 year old and 3 month old children were in the vehicle with her. there are numerous reports of transmission failures on this model and related chrysler products on the internet. the failure of the front drive axle occurred on a crowded highway. although the vehicle was still functioning, the noise required full attention from me to assertain the situation while manuevering at highway speeds. when the vehicle was purchased i noted a continuous pulling to the left. i took the vehicle in for various reasons and always had them look for the problem. the problem was varified but the cause was never determined. since the new axle was put in the vehicle no longer pulls. obviously a bad axle was the cause and it was doomed to failure. inspection of the broken part showed a rusty nonuniform ball and socket while the other ball and socket in the assembly was still metalic and smooth. i would also note that the highly respected repair shop that did the work found that the replacement parts indicated in the maual did not fit the vehical, they checked two different model numbers and neither fit. the third attempt purchased from chrysler did fit.*ak | |||

| Steel pin inside transmission loosened and rotated inside trans case and blew a hole 3 x 6 inches in the trans case losing all fluid and locking the trans up. call to chrysler dealer confirmed that it was a problem, trans shop said they were averaging 1 a month and that ours was the worst they had seen to date and that bodily injury was probable had my wife been traveling at highway speeds chrysler wanted the trans back but said that age and mileage prevented any reinbursement which is exactly what they said when the wheel bearings failed , they were man made parts and man made parts wear out. every dealer /trans shop i have talked tosays that the trans are good for 80000 miles inthe northeast and are prone to failure they aren't in the south because of the absence of slippery conditions. i wasn't aware that a 25000 dollar vehicle should be considered disposable after 80000 miles unless you are willing to pay 1500 dollars for a trans and 510 for wheel bearings especially since this is supposed to be the most popular vehicle in its class | |||
