1999 Plymouth Voyager transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 41, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission wont change gear properly. The technician replaced two sensors. The electrical system also didn't work properly. Please provide further information.
We own a 1999 plymouth grand voyager. At approximately 69,000 miles while driving approximately 35 MPH the transmission literally blew up and the vehicle came to a sudden stop and nearly left the road. A part had broken off from the inside of the differential and blew a 6 inch by 3 inch hole through the casing between the differential and transmission. The casing debris that blew into the transmission completely mangled the transmission. No one was injured only because of the slow speed of the car at the time. We have photographs of the transmission and the mechanic's report.
Problems with 1999 plymouth voyager expresso transmission. *mr the pin came out the differential and it cracked the case. *ph
My transmission had a huge bang and completely shut down. The mechanic said that the pin blew from the inside out. This is a common occurence with these minivans, but chrystler is not helpful at all. I believe that this is a factory defect.
While driving the vehicle constantly lost power and felt like it was going to stall. The transmission also jerked excessively when changing gears.
While driving and without warning, the transmission locked and had become difficult to control. *nlm scc
The vehicle did not engage into drive or reverse. There was a clunk sound as the vehicle was driven. *scc *jb
The transmission failed, while driving.
The vehicle experienced a transmission leak, and a broken air condition clutch.
1999 plymouth voyager se purchased new in 99. 82000 miles @ 90% highway. Transmission started slipping badly. Repair cost $2000. Contact at chrysler andrew miller no help.quote from local mechanic " these are know for torque converters going bad." from the looks of the complaints on the net that is true. No transmission should have to be rebuilt this early. We have had all scheduled and reccomended transmission services performed per owners manuel. Defective product without any help from manufaturer. Also had to replace shocks and struts for $500 mrch 2002 with only 65k mile.defective. Had struts replaced once before under warranty!!
While coming to a stop the van made a loud noise, jarred as though hitting a large hole then stalled. The van could be restarted but would not engage when put into gear. The differential pin came out of the carrier assembly and broke transaxle case in three places. The repair took 2 1/2 weeks. Dt
The vehicles transmission failed and was replaced. Consumer has continues problem with this vehicle. In february 2001 the vehicle broke down again.
Left vehicle in park with air conditioner running, and about 20 minutes later van suddenly took off and hit a house. Shifter was set in park, but indicator set in reverse. Please provide any further information.
I had just returned from a trip to branson, mo. When I got up the next morning to go to work the card would not shift gears. Therefore, I could only go 10 MPH. I took the car the next day to my dealership for service expecting a free replacement since just six months before, I had had the same problem. The mileage the first time was 49384 and it occurred on dec 10, 2001. The service dealership is frontier motor company at po box 430 in el reno, ok. Phone is 405‑262‑6433. I have always taken my car to them for service and maintenance. They say that the part is the sensor transmission input/output speed (part #4800879) at a cost of 146.16 the first time and 114.42 this second time. After discussing with the dealership that they should replace it free because obviously the first replacement was defective, the service department informed me that the part only carried a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty. I was 408 miles over. I believe plymouth has a problem with this part.
Consumer stated the transmissions differential blew causing it to come right through the side of the transaxle case, this incident occured while driving on a local highway, there was an extremely loud noise that came from under the van as it shook forcefully, then there was an oil substance that covered the windshield, consumer is requesting reimbursement from the manufacturer stating this is a possible defect.
Transmission failed twice, now has leak on left side head gasket.
The transmissions dodge is producing will suddenly kick out of gear without warning(no noise, vibration, etc...). This I s exactly what happenned in my case. Traveling in the left lane of the interstate@ 70mph transmission suddenly began to coast greatly reducing my speed. I then had to try to cross traffic to get to the emergency lane. That is when my family has to walk up the interstate to find a tow truck. Chrysler has over 10 years of trans. Trouble and they dont seem to be doing anything about it.
When vehicle is being driven at highway speeds a malfunction occurs within transmission output speed sensor, causing vehicle to go into low gear, nearly resulting in a collision. *ak the transmission output speed sensor failed at highway speed, resulting in a violent, sudden, and unexpected deceleration due to transmission downshift.
The automatic transmission on this vehicle intermittently emits a loud clunk (which can be felt) when shifting between gears. The dealership has tried various fixes, including replacing the memory module, yet the problem persists. They now deny that there is a problem, and claim that their "extensive" transmission tests report that the transmission is operating within normal parameters even though the service manager told me he could adjust the transmission some more. He has since denied making this statement, after chryslers head office was brought in to the equation. As well, chryslers regional representative told me that they would repurchase the vehicle if there was still anything wrong with the transmission, yet have also retracted that statement as well.
Consumer's 3 year old son was able to disengage park gear which allowed vehicle to roll back through his neighbor's garage door without the use of a key. *ak
While driving approximately60 MPH transmission went out, and threw vehicle into 1st gear. Mechanic has advised consumer that a part broke inside tranmission.
3rd transmission within 30000 miles of brand new
Parking pawl could be moved when vehicle is on and without stepping on brakes pedal.
Differential came apart and knocked a whole in transfer case, causing car to stall and die at 70 MPH.
Transmission failed and stopped the car and killed the engine
While taking off from a stop sign the transmission failed and the vehicle would not roll in any direction and ended up having to be towed to the dealer. This is a potential safety problem because it could have happened in a busy intersection. Chrysler refuses to admit that the problem is a defect even though dozens of cases are documented on the internet and the guidebook lemonaid lists the transmissions as having problems for these vehicles.
Failure of this part caused the vehicle to violently shift to 1st gear at 45 MPH. The speedometer and odometer did not read. Vehicle had to be towed. Dealer stated that this part should not have failed on such a new vehicle. I purcahsed an extended warranty, which covers powertrain, electrical and standard instrument cluster, but was told that this sensor was not covered, eventhough it controls the instrument cluster. I paid $130 for repair. If this had happened in traffic or at highway speed I shudder to think how the vehicle would have reacted, since the sudden, unexpected downshift caused the vehicle to lurch forward violently. The dealer's service rep said that this part did not usually fail, but that in the past month they had replaced more than usual. I have only had this vehicle for 7 months and it has already left me stranded. Overall, my dealer and service rep were very polite and friendly. Please let me know your expert opinion about this incident.
When placing vehicle from park to reverse or from park to drive vehicle can be placed out of gear without foot depressed on the brake pedal. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer linked the problem to the driveshaft or an electrical problem. Consumer had problems with the passenger side seat belt which had too much slack. Please provide any further details.
This vehicle can be put into gear without pressing on brake. Isn't this a required safety feature of new vehicles?
