1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MAKE A BANGING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED OFF THE ROAD AND PLACED INTO PARK, THE GEAR POSITION INDICATOR SHIFTED OUT OF PARK . HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THE CONTACT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS NOTORIOUS FOR ITS HIGH RATE OF FAILURE AND POOR QUALITY. THE CONTACT FELT THE SELLER KNEW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND FAILED TO SOLVE THEM. THE CONSUMER CHECKED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THERE WERE OVER 1,000 IRATE PEOPLE WHO HAD SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. UPDATED ON 05/30/2006. *AK

DT: THE CALLER SAID THAT WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION LOCKED. HE SAID THAT AT 55 OR 60 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION L LOCKED IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR. THE CALLER'S VEHICLE LOST SPEED AND HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS TO GET TO THE DEALER. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO HELP FOR FREE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING TO THE LEFT APPROXIMATELY AT 15 MPH CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING THROUGH THE FRONT END AND VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER ENGAGED VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. *AK

CONSUMER HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE: HEAD GASKET BLEW OUT/TRANSMISSION FAILED, AND ANTI COOLANT WENT INSIDE THE ENGINE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

I CALLED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY USAA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CHYSLER MINIVANS COME OUT OF PARK. IN MY CASE THE VAN WAS IN THE GARAGE AND MY SON WAS LETTING THE DOG OUT AND THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE NEARLY OVER HOI CRASHED THROUGH A FENCE ONTO A NIEGHBORS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 6 HOURS AS AN AUTOMATIC IT HAS TO BE FULLY IN PARK TO GET THE KEY OUT. I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED - INTERNAL GEAR STRIPPING DUE TO GENERIC DEFECTS KNOWN BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. FURTHER INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON LEMONAIDCARS.COM

SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE, VEHICLE HAS HAD A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING AT 35-40 MPH. ALL ALONG I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE, AS IS SHOWN BY REVIEWING CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE. NOW, THE SHUDDER IS VERY PRONOUNCED. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT A RECALL BE ISSUED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE NORMAL REPAIR, WHICH HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IS TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTOR AND SHIFT SOLENOID BLOCK. ALSO, THE PROBLEM IS EVIDENCED BY THE TSBS THAT ARE ON SHIFT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND TORQUE CONVERTOR SHUDDER. THIS PROBLEM GETS MORE PRONOUNCED WITH TIME, AND COULD ALSO RELATE TO PROBLEMS LIKE ENGINE MOUNTS CAUSING CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE (MOUNT WORN OUT BY CONTINUALLY VIBRATING (ABNORMALLY) AT SHIFT SPEEDS). THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALER WAS BUTLER CHRYSLER/DODGE IN BEAUFORT, S.C.. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO...

1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER TRANSMISSION FAILURE: THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WITH LOW-AVERAGE MILEAGE. IN SPEAKING TO VARIOUS OTHER AUTO GROUPS, MECHANICS, DEALERS, APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER BASED MINIVANS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. SPECIFICALLY THE SEALS IN THE CLUTCH. APPARENTLY, THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH VERY THIN SIDEWALLS WHICH DEGRADE QUICKLY, FAIL, AND CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH TO LOSE PRESSURE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. A NOTE TO THE MFG (CHRYSLER): TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FAIL AT 59K. I WAS TREATED WITH TOTAL DISREGARD WHEN I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CENTER. THIS IS THE FIRST & LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I WILL PURCHASE. *AK
