1990 Plymouth Voyager transmission problems

Filed Aug 13, 2001 · Engine, Transmission · AK

At low stop and go speed the motor will run hot and loose gear shifting, you have to turn off the van and restart the van. I have replaced the radiator, water pump,all sensores, temp.gauges,this did not correct the problem. Could the problem be in the computer board? When you turn off the van and restart the van it will shift ok until you stop again, and do it all over. This has cause problems in traffic. Would like to know a corrective action for this. This is my second minivan no trouble with the frist one.

This is the third trans. Failure in the 102,700 miles on the vehicle trans. #1 lasted 42,000 miles , trans. #2 lasted 27,000 miles and trans. #3 lasted 29,000 miles I believe that there is something wrong with this picture. My service has been done on the replacement of each of these transmissions at warren chrysler plymouth and I have paid 1/2 the bill on #2 & #3 and chrysler has paid for the other 1/2 on each. It still costs me approximately $800.00 to $900.00 dollars each time. My service manual says to have the fluid and the filter changed every 30,000 miles but I never see 30,000 miles before the transmission is destroyed. I read an article in consumer report that said chrysler corp. Knows about this problem and has never issued a recall, they just keep paying for 1/2 of the replacement cost. I believe it has now reached the time for someone to challenge chrysler corp. And demand that a recall be issued for those vehicles still on the road which may fail and cause a serious accident. Any information you can provide to me reguarding how many reports you have concerning this problem or who can be contacted at chrysler concerning this problem would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to drive this vehicle on a daily bases and hope that the person involved in a serious accident is not myself or my spouce. Thank you for any help you can provide and I will be looking forward to your responce.

We purchased this van 3/98. It was not driven from 5/19/98 until 10/15/98 due to my surgery except for driving it to the new house (3 miles away) about 6 times. I really feel this is not acceptable since the transmission was checked out, and it was said to be fine.
