1990 plymouth voyager with the 3.3 engine, run the vehicle 20 or 30 minutes and shut it off leave it sit 15 or 20 minutes then start it up and put it in drive it does not want to shift out of low. If I shut it off and start it up and put it in drive 3 or 4 times it will start working. I also have had it shifting ok been on the highway in od and the transmission kicks out of gear until it gets back down to 25, 30 MPH then it slams into low.

Failures of transmission and fuel pump created hazardous conditions due to unplanned stopping in unaccommodating traffic.
When van is in hills transmission and the cooling sistem, go to the hight temperature and the motor turns off automaticaly.
We have already replaced the transmission 4 times; appears a 6th is now needed. Two of the replacements have been "free" to us because they occured in less than 1 year from installation. This latest one lasted just a little over 1 year, which means that we will have to pay for it ourselves. This known issue should be fully covered by the manufacturer. In fact, I want reimbursement for all of the transmissions I have had to replace.
This is 3 rd trans failure for this vehicle, for which I am still making payments on and not being able to use. After talking to others and transmission shop also it appears to be a major problem and has been for many years. I believe chrysler knows they have a problem and should repair and replace these units at a no-charge or at the least a pro-rated per mileage price. The last transmission lasted 60000 miles and I'm an easy driver and very maintenance minded....why are all these manufactuers allowed to get away with these monsterous repair costs when they gave us faulty equipment in the first place......I want my vehicle repaired!!!!!
The a604 transaxle design is flawed. The longest service interval I've experienced with this transmission was 72,600 miles, in the original unit. The 1st rebuild went another 70,000 miles, and then that rebuild only lasted 40,000+ miles. I'm getting tired of paying.

The first transmission failed while I and my family were on the ny state thruway. We were going on vacation and we had to return home in limp mode for approximately 100 miles. The second transmission failed while we were travelling on local streets near our home. I had to pay for the second transmission and computer. Neither trans lived up to the warranty of 70,000 miles. The first trans failed at 58,000 miles and the second trans failed after 52,000 miles.
