1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This van has had 2 rebuilt transmisions installed. One at 74,000 & the other at 77,000 miles. I was informed when the transmission was replaced the 2nd time that this is a design flaw in the transmission area where the differential pin is located. I contacted chrysler and they will not cover any of the expense.
Air bag warning lamp continuously illuminated with failure of horn & cruise control. Previous year models are being recalled for same clockspring not being wound correctly during installation.
While driving at 45 MPH consumer heard a grinding noise coming from the vehicle. A few seconds later, vehicle stalled in the middle of the road. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, who informed the consumer that a rod was blown.
Transmission failure for the second time! At 33,000 miles my transmission "went out" and the dealership "repaired it'. Now at 93,000 the speedometer gear has malfunctioned and I have to replace the whole transmission. This happened while I was driving. The transmission locked in second gear, which was unexpected and surprised me. This action could have caused an accident but I was the only car on the road.
I bought a 1999 plymouth grand voyager. I have noticed the shifter to put it in gear does not lock, meaning the brake does not have to be pressed before shifting into gear. We found out after our 4 year old accidentally bumped the shifter sending it into drive with our 2 year old in the back seat I was able to jump in and stop the van before it hit another car. I checked several other vehicles and found that the brake actually has to be pressed before you can move the shifter. Is this a recall with my van? It doesn't seem normal. I need some advice.
While driving a banging sound was heard from the transmission. Soon after, the vehicle stalled and transmission fluid leaked on the ground. *ak holes had blown through the transmission in different places. The dealer stated there was a defect in the transmission in the make/model. (it also blew a sensor) *scc
Transmission apparantly failing to shift, seems stuck in 2nd as vehicle has no horsepower and will not accelerate over about 25-30mph (can't tell speed), will not shift gears (reverse still works). At the same time the speedometer stopped working and check engine light came on. No other apparant side effects (I.e. A/c still works, belts intact, fuses ok). Occurred while operating with passengers (age 5 and 5-mos. Old) - why would chrysler corp. Allow such an apparant safety hazard to exist? This vehicle has been well-maintained and has just over 40,000-miles - is this all chrysler products are good for? Recall?
While driving the transmission "blew up". The dealer diagnosed that there was a 6x3 inch wide hole in the casing that separated the differential from the transmission. This caused a component of the differential to loosen and blow through the casing.*ak
In july 2002 the vehicle was running and a child was able to put the vehicle into drive without the brake pedal being applied. The vehicle crashed into a neighbor's garage. Also in april 2003 the vehicle was off and the owner was able to shift the vehicle into drive.
Transmission failed because the differential pin shot through the transmission. *ak
On february 7 2003 my wife drove my 1999 plymouth grand voyager home just down the street and heard a bang under the floor board drivers side. The long and short of it is that our transmission had a catastrophic failure. Needless to say it cost us as much as we have paid for the vehicle since we acquired it from a very reputable car company.
While driving transmission failed causing lost of acceleration and vehicle made a graveling noise and engine shut down. Please any additional information.
1999 plymouth grand voyager with 74,000 miles the transmission died completely when the differential pin shot through the top of the trasmission, causing us to have to purchase a new transmission at a cost of approx. $2,500.00. Chrysler dealers are well aware that there is a problem with these vans. They all knew exactly what I was describing and I was told by the service dept. At team goewey dodge in latham that this is a commom occurence with these vans in particular. All of the other transmission repair shops in the area concurred with this. I contacted chryslers customer service dept. On 1/27/03 and they will not do a thing to resolve the issue. The car died on a day when it was between 10 - 15 degrees and -20 with windchills
We have had to replace our '99 plymouth grand voyager's transmission coolant clamps because of a leakage. Our chrysler dealer has informed us that chrysler knows that the clamps on the van are defective & we have had to pay $200 to replace the leaking clamps for ones they tell us are made different and that they say are fixing a problem that they know exists on all of these minivans.
Driving on highway, my check engine light went on. Then van could not go faster than 35 MPH. I would hear straining on the engine and the RPM gauge would show a higher RPM rate for the low speed I was travelling. The transmission needed to be replaced.
Speed control device quit working at exactly the same time the transmission would not come out of first gear regardless of the speed. This is a problem with chrysler products and I expect them to do something about it asap!!! Mr
Consumer states while driving 20 MPH the vehicle starts jerking and when stopped or put into reverse the vehicle will stall. Dealer replace transmission three times. *jb
Transmission would not shift into higher gear. Dealer notified and made repairs. *ak the consumer states the 1st time they had replaced the amj 6443 and the 4800878 trans input sensor. This did not take care of the problem and the mechanic suggested the fuel pump was defective and should be replaced.
At 55mph the vehicle starts to rattle beginning in the engine. Dealer informed the owner that the atf was leaking. Replace the transaxle case because a $3.00 pin broke, allowing a rod in the dirrerential to crash thru the case. At 62,000 miles the exact same thing happened again, causing the vehicle to stall in moving traffic.
Child was able to move gear shift from park without depressing the brake pedal. This being a primarily "family vehicle" they should be prepared for any type of situation that could accidently occur involving a child.
Consumer was traveling on highway and vehicle started roaring, vehicle wasn't shifting. Dealership was aware of problem. Shift sensor and input speed center were replaced.
While driving transmission failed to switch from 1st gear. Engine check light came on, and power steering stopped working. Contacted dealer,and dealer installed output speed sensor.
Consumer's 3 year old child was able to release vehicle from park gear without the use of a key or pressing of brake pedal. Vehicle rolled forward into a garage, and crushed garage door. There was no gear shift interlocking system in vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Vehicle was in park, child moved gear shift to drive,and vehicle started rolling downhill. Consumer was able to jump in through sliding door and stop vehicle. Child was injured.
On two(2) occassions the speed sensor on this vehicle has gone out. On both incidents the vehicles goes into a protective limp mode which does not allow the vehicle to go over 30mph. *ak.
While traveling noticed transmission failure. Consumer lost power. Consumer had vehicle repaired four times. Dealer can't duplicate problem. Please provide further information.
On 01/24/2001, I parked my car in my driveway, about 3 - 4 feet in front of the garage of my house. I went into my house and after at least 30 seconds to a minute or more (after I had gotten well within my house), I heard a very loud boom sound---like a
