My spouse was taking off from the bank when she heard a bang. Auto dealer determined pin broke and went through wall of differential. Auto would not move. Contact with transmission company gained information that they have gotten 1 of these incidents per week. Compnay called was transmission supply in eau claire, wis. I would think this to be a major concern should this happen going at high speeds. Please inform me of any information available or record this incident. Chrysler did offer to pay all but $500 dollars even though my warranty went off approximately 6 weeks ago. Thanks
1998 Plymouth Voyager transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 55 of 55, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1998 transmission with 60k miles on it blew thru the aluminum casing into the torque converter, cost to owner $2609.00 for repairs and have been told chrysler is making poor engineering decisons with transmissions and continue producing them, they will not help with a good will repair and were rude to my wife on the phone.
Place car in reverse. Backed out into street, shifted to drive, car would not move forward. 2nd time this happened in 2 years. Dealer claimed fixed last year, yet same thing happened this year. Occurs in cold weather only.
Transmission failed on this vehicle. Van would not move forward or backward. I have another 98 plymouth voyager that is also used as a delivery van and it is experiencing some of thesame traits as this one. It will hesitate when put into gear and sometimes slip when starting from a stopped position. This is exactly what the van that has been fixed was doing. Chrysler paid for the parts on the van and I paid for labor. There appears to be some bulletins already on the books that pertain to these problems with the transmission.
The transmission is a known problem that chrysler is playing dumb about. They are attempting to blame the consumer for failing to purchase extended warranties, when no one could reasonably expect a transmission to fail at 40k miles. Chrysler has offered to "pick up" the cost for parts, but ... That still leaves $1,119.00 for the labor on the transmission and the erg valve. Neither of these components should have failed at 40k, but the transmission is my major concern.
From what I understand this is a common failure in these vans. This pin in the transmission breaks and shoots through the transmission housing. This is a manufacturing defect that chrysler should correct. This is going to cost me $2000.00. Who's to say this won't happen again.recall these vans and fix this problem!
Transmission was rebuilt a year ago by the dealer because it was shuttering. It started again on the 17th of february, and they replaced the transmission again. Currently, transmission is doing the same shaking. Dealer will not look at transmission until vehicle gets upto 1500 miles. Dealer thinks it just needs to be broken in.
The transmission failed on 12/23/1999. It had to be rebuilt. Chrysler would not replace without charging us.
I would report my VIN number however my van is still at the dealers. Also the date was12/23/99 that the transmission quit working. No safety defect (s) listed in summary.
No summary
The shift indicator is in drive, but it does not indicate whether vehicle is in 1st or 2nd . Dealer has been notified.
Transmission failed at 41,000 miles 100's of similar @this site please recall! Huge chucks of metal in pan, entire casing was damaged and had to be replaced. Vehicle showed no prior indication of failing. A search of this site has shown this is a problem with daimler-chrysler all brands of mini's since at least 1996, why is nothing being done to hold them accountable? In addition, the vehicle shifts into any gear from any gear without applying the brake.is
