I called our insurance company usaa and they said that they have had a number of chysler minivans come out of park. In my case the van was in the garage and my son was letting the dog out and the car rolled out of the garage nearly over hoi crashed through a fence onto a nieghbors vehicle I have had it towed to the dealership. The car had been parked for 6 hours as an automatic it has to be fully in park to get the key out. I am getting the run around from the dealer.
1994 Plymouth Voyager transmission complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 85, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Squeaking noise heard in the right front of the vehicle.
Transmission failed - internal gear stripping due to generic defects known by chrysler corporation. Further information can be found on lemonaidcars.com
Since initial purchase, vehicle has had a slight shudder when shifting at 35-40 MPH. All along I have been told it was normal. Apparently this is not the case, as is shown by reviewing customers complaints on your web site. Now, the shudder is very pronounced. I respectfully request that a recall be issued to take care of these problems. The normal repair, which has been successful is to replace the torque convertor and shift solenoid block. Also, the problem is evidenced by the tsbs that are on shift quality improvement and torque convertor shudder. This problem gets more pronounced with time, and could also relate to problems like engine mounts causing clunking noise when shifting into reverse (mount worn out by continually vibrating (abnormally) at shift speeds). The original selling dealer was butler chrysler/dodge in beaufort, s.c.. I believe it is time for auto manufacturers to be responsible to their consumers and fix problems, not just issue tsbs, and hope no one complains enough to cause a recall. And amazingly enough when they do issue a recall, it just happens to skirt the vehicles with problems reported, such as mileage limit below reported vehicles. Please assist in making the auto dealers of america a respectible group again.
Vehicle has expeienced excessive transmission repairs since ownership, transmission leakage and surge during operation, the transmission finally was replaced in june 2000.

1994 plymouth voyager transmission failure: this vehicle is garage kept with low-average mileage. In speaking to various other auto groups, mechanics, dealers, apparently this is a common problem in chrysler based minivans. I believe this to be a design defect. Specifically the seals in the clutch. Apparently, they are designed with very thin sidewalls which degrade quickly, fail, and cause the transmission clutch to lose pressure. Chrysler refuses to offer any assistance. A note to the mfg (chrysler): transmissions are not supposed to fail at 59k. I was treated with total disregard when I called the customer center. This is the first & last chrysler product I will purchase.
When traveling vehicle will not go into gear or will drop out of gear, causing poor acceleration. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer determined the cause t be o the computer chip within the transmission. Please provide any further details.
Transmission has delay when shifting, sometimes it doesn't. Vehicle has a historyof this problem. Also, dealership told consumer that he needs a rebuilt transmission.

The molding on the rear window would melt and drip all along the sides. The van would die when waiting at a stop light during the summer months when the air conditioning unit was on. I would have to turn everything off, put in park and try to restart the engine. Too many times we could have caused an accident not too mention the 100 + degrees we have here in the desert. The first time the van stalled out we had just started out from a red light, the van died as we were going throught the intersection. All power died and luckily I was able to coast over several lanes of rush hour traffic into a parking lot to try to restart the engine. It would always restart, however only with the air turned off along with the radio. We took the van to our own mechanic hoping the cost of repair would be lower. However after repeat stalling problems and finally no air conditioning at all we brought the van to the chrysler-plymouth dealer who took over from ed moses , jim click . The $659.17 we paid them to replace the evaporator coil & recharge the AC system is another yearly major defect we have had to repair. November of 1997 we paid $714.50 for the dealer to overhaul the transmission, flash the controller and flush the cooler. We did seek and received assistance from the chrysler corporation for that repair but for only half of the total repair cost. We also seeked assistance from again regarding the AC repair but were told that since we didn't use the dealer for repairing the original stalling problem that they wouldn't do anything for us. These are not isolated repair problems and we thank goodness that none of our children, ourselves and others haven't been seriously hurt or killed. The rear window that shattered was kept intact only because we had sun protective film installed. We thought we had been shot at as we were departing an amusement park in los angeles at night and were waiting to turn at an intersection. Our twin 4 year old daughters were in the back
Transmission leaked fuel from the seals which caused the transmission to become inoperable. Please give any further details.
3 speed auto trans had complete failure at 59,352 miles. Transmission had to be rebuilt by dealer. Periodic fuse failure for rear window wiper/washer and air bag system.
