1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager transmission complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 102, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gear shift lever broke off. Unable to obtain 'new' replacement part due to 'national back order' due to high demand for replacement steering columns due to metallurgy problems in gearshift composition.
Automatic transmission had to be completely rebuilt. It all started with just a small oil leak and turned into a major problem. They told us we were lucky we got it there when we did, or we would have been stranded somewhere on the road.
Airbag light came on and horn stopped working. Dealer replaced clock spring assembly. On april 5 2001 dash went black, speedometer went to 0, at dealer at this time.
Transmission stayed in second gear, even when accelerating.*ak consumer states transmission also slipped, transmission was rebuilt due to internal contamination.
Airbag light came on/criuse control stopped working. Dealer replaced clock spring assembly. At same time engine check light came on. Dealer replaced oxygen sensor. Also, transmission went out at 10400 miles, and emergency brake had to be replaced 3 times. *ak
Air bags are something that should not fail on a vehicle since it is government regulated safety equipment on a vehicle and it is a low wear item. My airbags have failed and chrysler expects me to pay to fix them. They have also tied the airbags into the horn and cruise control. I feel that since this is a safety related item, chrysler should be responsible for the repairs. If these bags fail to deploy or misfire due to their design, I and my passengers could be severely hurt or killed.
Pulling out of parking lot across 2-way traffic, heard loud clunk, then transmission lost power. Barely managed to pull off shoulder. No fwd or reverse. Dealer states transmission needs replacement ($1957). Since out of warranty, chrysler corp. Unwilling to help - claim to not be aware of transmission problems on this yr/make/model. Also, dealer states vehicle leaking oil past cam shaft seals. Replacement to cost $1200. Have paid over $3000 on many other prior repairs on vehicle.
Auto transmission failure? Couple of times my van hesitated to drive when I put gear in drive position . Today, it happened again and after it started to move, it did not go faster than 35 miles speed. My van is only 5 years old and this should not suppose to happen to any major components. Please advise if this is common problem with all1996 voyegers. Do many owners have same complaints? I have friends told me that this a common problem of automatic transimmision with all 1996 models. If that is so than chrysler should fix it without charge to me.is there any secret warranty or good wili policy or service campaign exists? Please advise soon. Also many times, transmission indicator does not show the positon of d or r when shifted to d or r position. All positons stay lit. So its difficult to judge if you are in drive or reverse position. Also the cylinoid makes loude noise. I told many times to dealer during warranty period and they told me that is normal. But I don't think so. I have checked other same model and their cylinoid don't make that kind of noise.what are the facts?
Transmission needs to be replaced second time.
Defective pin in transmission malfunctioned which caused vehicle to stall unexpectedly, which may have resulted in a crash. Common problem. Please provide further information.
When weather is cold transmission will not go into gear. Vehicle wouldn't go forward or backward. Dealership mechanic told consumer that he had to get a brand new transmission.*ak the internal parts for the transaxle had failed and was replaced by the dealer.
Leak of prob transmission fluid out of dip stick opening, determined by dealer to be transmission rod assembly. Had to replace entire transmission. Previous steering noise corrected by tsb. For about 6 months now, steering intermittently squeals with slight vibration in steering wheel. Dealer cannot duplicate.

Two transmission failures. Transmission had to be replaced due to hesitation/slippages. Also, experienced a problem with excessive wear of front brake pads due to pitted/corrosive rotors. Dealer/manufacturer were notified?
Shift lever can be changed or moved into any gear from park without applying brakes and without key in the ignition, which could cause vehicle to roll away.
Transmission slipping, could not merge safely into traffic because of slip. Would work o.k. Whole van was cold, then would slip and stay in low gear when van warmed up./a.c. Leaking freon causing inadequate cold air. Dealer replaced rear discharge hose only to have it leak out agian, which tells me they didn't even check it. When the compessor finally gave out and after an estimate of allmost $900.00, I had an independent shop tell me the evaporator was leaking. The dealer agreeded they had some bad evaporators and fixed the whole system for $450.00.
Gear shift became stuck when he consumer shifted gear from park to drive. Als,o it made a loud noise.

No summary listed for above vehicle.
The transmission just died. Luckily, we made it to our work parking lot and weren't stranded in a heavy traffic situation or in a snowstorm. Total cost of repair estimated at $1900. Environmental hazard of leaking oil when transmission case also cracks. Coincidence???: my boss just informed me today that his 1996 chrysler product mini-van with less miles than mine had a similar transmission problem some time ago. I believe the chrysler product mini-van transmissions are junk and chrysler knows it, but the transmission defect only causes a true "safety" hazard when it breaks in a situation where continuing speed is necessary (like passing). Obviously, the transmission oil getting dumped on the streets when the transmission case cracks isn't good. But again, why would chrysler care about a little oil?
