The speedometer and odometer periodically stop working. It doesn't happen every time the car is started.
1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager transmission complaints

Van rolls significantly backwards when on slight incline. Must keep one foot on brake and other on gas the minute you need to move or you will roll into the car behind. Transmission does not hold car at all. When stopped the car can be pushed forward. Dealer said this is normal for vans and would not try to fix it. If it causes an accident, dealer and manufacturer is libel.
Gear shift can be engaged without depressing brake.. Small child can shift the gears if accidently falls against shifter, for a family car I consider this quite dangerous, all other cars I've ever driven had a "lock" of some type on the gear shift :ie you had to depress the brake at same time or a thumb button to depress (floor mounted gear shift).
Transmission requires overhaul at less than 60,000. Search of www indicates there are numerous similar problems. Shouldn't there be a recall? I have never had transmission problems at such low mileage.
On four occasions transmission gear shift failed.
Transmission range sensor failed. Nlm
The consumer has experienced problems with automatic transmission. While vehicle was parked in the driveway it drifted forward on its own and crashed into the wall in garage. The consumer had to get in the vehicle and put shift indicator down in order to get the vehicle to stop rolling. The manufacturer has been contacted. *ak
After purchasing my minivan I found what I felt was a serious safety issue. With the car running, the gear shift can be engaged with out the need to depress the brake. I have seen this feature on most cars I've driven or researched. I didn't realize that this was not amandatory feature until a few months later wen I accidently caught the gear shift with my purse strap. I nearly ran myself down. I feet that if this is a minivan marketed to families, this should be taken into account. What if it had been a small child who was where they shouldn't be and this happened? I wasn't sure if any recommendations could be made, but I felt I needed to have someone hear my concerns. Thank you
The automatic transmission is making a chirpping sound. During any speed the sound gets louder going up hill. *ak.
