When the vehicle was moved off the road and placed into park, the gear position indicator shifted out of park . However, the vehicle would not move in either direction. The dealership was contacted, and they determined the transmission needed to be replaced. According to the contact this transmission was notorious for its high rate of failure and poor quality. The contact felt the seller knew about these problems and failed to solve them. The consumer checked the internet and discovered there were over 1,000 irate people who had similar transmission problems. The manufacturer should acknowledge the problem and issue a recall.

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.
