It is june of 2003 and the car is currently in the shop again for the transmission problem. It has had a power steering pump failure, serpentine belt failure times 5 and now a computer problem. I have contacted chrystler corp at least 5 times regarding the problems with this car. Their answer is well, if you don't like the care trade it in.

Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 55, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After the signal light turned green driver stepped on accelerator pedal, the engine revved, but the vehicle would not move. Vehicle towed to a repair shop for transmission problem.
Vehicle was taken to the dealer for service. Consumer feels that the service was incomplete because, after a week, vehicle started jerking whenever accelerator was pressed. Vehicle was taken to another shop, and consumer was told that transmission fluid was exceptionally low. Less than a week after that diagnosis transmission completely stopped working. The dealer would not make repairs without consumer paying for them.
The differential pin broke inside transmission. As a result, transmission had to be replaced.
98 plymouth voyager expresso has a problem with a pin in the transmission braking and it cracks your case in trying to find a used one, everyone that had one, that was what had happened to it.

I have a plymouth voyager with 47,000 mi. I'd only had it for 4 mos. When the transmission started to act up. I have been told that it is probably on it's way out seeing as chrysler knows not how to make a working product. It is very dangerous for me to try to pull out onto a road when I am not sure whether or not I am going to be able to go. When I do and it doesn't move, I then have to hurry up and gun it so as not to get hit from oncoming traffic. The car then jerks into gear after reving up to around 50 if I take it that far. I usually don't because then engine sounds like it is screaming. Shifting is a problem. It is well known to most chrysler owners that there is a serious problem with their transmissions, yet chrysler does nothing to upgrade or fix the defects. Had I known this information before I had bought the car, I would've bought a different make vehicle.
Consumer states that while driving at any speed and without warning the transmission will start to make a clunking noise causing a distraction to the consumer. Dealer notified. Ts
While at a stop, consumer states pressed accelerator and vehicle would not move. Engine was still running but vehicle would not move. The vehicle was towed, to dealer, the dealer states the coolant line ruptured and caused antifreeze to go into the transmission. Which resulted in the transmission and radiator being replaced. Please provide any further information. Mr
Transmission has been replaced twice, but problem still persists.
Seals in transmission needed to be replaced due to vehicle slipping in and out of gear .this will happen intermittently. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.
While driving at 10 MPH driveshaft and axle broke and front end dropped, causing consumer to lose control of vehicle. Contacted dealer.
While driving at 40mph vehicle hesitated to accelerate and starting chocking. Took vehicle to dealership who informed him transmission was shot.
Am about to have vehicle taken to dealership, but have researched several similar incident where chrysler tried to deny responsibility for a transmission that goes out after only 58,000 so I'm creating cases, just in case.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
While driving on a busy highway, the transmission failed without warning, vehicle lost speed at an alarming rate, dropping from 70 MPH to 20 MPH within seconds.*jb chrysler refused to replace the transmission at no cost to the consumer.
When driving on a incline it caused front wheels to dribble or vibrate. Vehicle was taken to an independent shop, and consumer was informed that the problem was caused by a torque converter failure.
Transmission was faulty. Also, it looked like roll pin had snapped and blew a hole in transmission wall. Entire transmission has been replaced. Consumer has contacted chrysler. *ak per the transmission repair shop, the roll pin did snap, causing the greater damage to the rest of the tranmission.
Consumer was backing out of garage about 3mph and heard a winding noise, transmission went out.
Tensioner & serpentine belt replaced 3 times so far and it still is not working correctly. The transmission failed on us while I was driving with my kids but no accident occurred.
The consumer took the vehicle to have the leaking transmission filter gasket replaced and as they were raising the car on the hoist the starter began to burn, the fire was caused by coolant leaking between the head and block, as the mechanic began to disassemble the motor they found one of the head bolts broken off and lying on the head cover, the broken bolt caused the head gasket to leak coolant onto the starter which caused the fire, the consumer believes this was faulty workmanship at the assembly plant.
