After tune up, vehicle still not picking up power. Vehicle was shaking & rattling. Also had the mounts replaced & checked the axle. Nothing was wrong.

Chrysler is manufacturing defective transmissions. They must be held accountable for all repairs on their defective parts. The transmissions should not fail at 50,000+ miles. Many minivan owners have had to replace their transmissions. I personally know of two family members who had to go through this with minivans with less than 55,000 miles.
Transmission doesn't shift, vehicle does move, but very slow. Vehicle makes noise when shifting. Transmission was replaced at 44000 miles by the dealership. Transmission problem was still there. He has contacted dealership, and mechanic told consumer that he has to pay for the transmission.
The transmission failed prematurely and the manufacturer told the consumer that the repair cost could not be covered because the vehicle was taken to an independent dealer. Nlm
This vehicle has 3 speed automatic dealer said most failures were 4 speed transmissions
While driving and pressing the accelerator pedal a noise occurs within the transmission, cause unknown. Dealer cannot identify the problem. Please give any further details.
When putting car in reverse there would be a delay, then a big bang, and it would go into reverse, sometimes when driving car would shift gears on its own. Consumer felt this was unsafe driving condition.
Everythime put into reverse transmission clunks, also when shifted into drive and driving down the road it winds out engine and does not catch into gear,to get into overdrive I have to release accelerator until it shifts or push accelerator in order to shift into over drive.
For about 100 miles or so before total failure, we noticed a slight whining sound, plus some instances of slightly erratic shifting. A check of the transmission fluid showed it to be at the proper level. It looked clean, and had no burned smell. The transmission quit working at estelline, texas, on us 287. I had to call a towing service, and was towed to childress, texas. Ther are no plymouth or chrysler dealers in childress, so we went to a local transmission shop. They were able to get the transmission repaired in about a week , at a cost of $1772.50. Towing was $60. The mechanic said that the bushing in front pump apparently became loose and started spinning, causing very rapid wear, and damage to other parts. He had to install new front pump and forward drum assemblies, as well as other parts. I feel extremely unhappy about the expense, as well as the considerable personal inconvenience this incident caused. I have never abused the transmission, and have seen that it had normal maintenance, and I don't think it should fail at only 52000 miles.

Transmission failure at 74,912 miles which requires replacement of the chrysler grand voyager's transmission at a cost of $1800.00. The transmission in my 1990 grand voyager also failed. The cost of that repair was paid by chrysler through a recall. Chrysler has not offered to contribute to the cost of the 1995 grand voyager transmission repair. In addition, we have contacted two chrysler dealers regarding repair of the vehicle and they gave conflicting stories of how the transmission should be repaired and the frequency of transmission failures in grand voyagers. Under the conditions I drive, I believe the grand voyager transmission should last over 100,000 miles. I am disappointed that chrysler does not build a reliable transmission for the grand voyager.

Will not go into reverse or shift into high gear when cold. When does shift into reverse, car lunges backwards suddenly. Problem ongoing for 2 years. Works great after car is warmed up. Have had garages check it out and state they don't believe it is a transmission problem but will rebuild if I want to. Have changed transmission fluid and oil routinely.
A vibration consistent with the vehicle's speed (similar to a defective wheel bearing) was detected prior to failure. The transmission locked up, and all fluid was lost throughout the engine compartment. This presented a potentially serious safety hazard to the driver, since this occured during the morning rush hour commute in the center lane of the freeway. The report from the service center indicated that the transmission was totally destroyed (very expensive repair!).
While driving the transmission would hesitate & jerk. This would happen when shifting into different gear, replaced once before 1/99. The problem is now getting worse.mjs
I bought this van in 1998 and have had nothing but problems,I bought an extended warranty,but it expired when I hit 100,000 miles.I am still paying for it and know am paying fo repair bills.I have had problems with the transmission right after I bought it and now am having problems again,have also had pro. With the fuel system.and pro. With the drivers side and sliding door hinges or locks also brakes every time I turn around it's something else basicly "I bought a lemon"
Started vehicle & shifted into reverse. The air bag deployed & knocked driver out of vehicle. Vehicle continued to roll backwards before it was stopped.
The engine would rev up as if the transmission was in neutral repairs done at independent repair shop after dealer refused to cover cost of repair. Also, axle was broken.
Transmission seal failed causing vehicle to loose traction without warning, and slip as though it was in neutral. The right front axle failed causing loss of control when turning.
The transmission seal failed at 67,000 miles causing vehicle to loose traction without warning, and slip as though it was in neutral. The right front axle failed, causing loss of control when turning at 58,464 miles.
Hard copy of letter to chrysler corporation being forwared through e-mail. No safety defect mentioned in summary.
This is a wide-spread problem with the voyager/caravan transmission.
While driving transmission exploded, making a clucking sound, and then the vehicle just stopped. Dealer has been contacted.
Had parked the vehicle & left. Had door opened at time. Vehicle had jumped out of park & started rolling backwards. Door hit another vehicle & bent. The vehicle finally came to a stop after hitting light pole. Dealer did not believe vehicle jumped out of gear.
