Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 34 of 34, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission has failed 4 times causing vehicle to loose power in dangerous situations.
Transmission acting sluggish when air conditioner was on felt like slipping. Took in said nothing was wrong (while under warranty). After warranty- transmission went out, had to rebuild transmission. 8 months later transmission out again overhaul transmission.
A pin slipped from the transmission, which caused it to fail.
I was driving 35 MPH when the engine made a loud noise. It acted like it was in neutral, and would not go anywhere,it then jumped forward and seemed to be fine, then it did it again and would not move. I had it towed over by aaa to hall the next day.they informed me that the transmission was gone at 50,800 miles and the warrenty only covered 3/36,000 mile. I was less than three years since I purchased the van. They had to replace the transmission. I followed the b schedule of service and had the transmission fluid and filter change at 46,000 miles. The schedule b in my owners mannual says 48,000 miles. The services manager says that it should be changed at 36,000 miles.
I have a 2000 plymouth voyager. I purchased it brand new in 12/00. I expereince a problem when shifting from park to reverse to drive. From a parked position, I put the vehicle in reverse and proceed to back up. Once I have completed backing out, I put the vehicle in drive to (attempt) go forward. The vehicle is in drive, however the vehicle continues to go in reverse (several feet). I have tried shifting to overdrive, neutral, and park however the vehicle still continues to move in reverse. I have had the vehicle to the dealership 5 times and the problem still hasn't been resolved. This is a severe hazard as I have almost had several accidents, assuming the my vehicle should be moving forward when in drive. The service manager does not want to admit there is a problem, he blames it on me not putting my brake all the way down. I advised him that despite the position on my brake if the vehicle is in drive it should move forward or if it is in park it should not move at all. The vehicle eventually moves forward, but not until it is ready. My transmission fluid is clean and full. My mileage now is approx 25471. The vehicle is used for personal use only.
Transmission would not engage into reverse while vehicle was cold. Finally, transmission started slipping out of gear when slowing down causing vehicle to stall. Stalling started on reported incident date. Ts
While driving vehicle felt like it was in netral gear, then it cut off. Transmission went. Replaced transmission, but problem reoccurred. This was a common problem.
Checking under hood when vehicle was in park. When turned key to start engine the vehicle "sliiped" into neutral and ran back over me causing major injury. I believe in newer vehicles the interlock has been removed which may have prevented this accident, is this a true statement?
While parked 2 year old child put vehicle in gear without applying brakes, and vehicle rolled forward, hitting another vehicle. Dealer contacted.
While driving home in a school at 20 MPH the van shifted from drive to nuetral and back to drive . I thought van was killing after hearing a weird noise and looked to see the panel had registerd a problem and thats when I saw it shift from neutral to drive. When I got haome I called the dealer to bring it in and to set up a rental for me . When I got there he said they would only pay for I day of rental, and they would put the van through test and if they could not duplicate the problem then I can coome pick it up. I don't want to drive something that has not been cleared safe for my family and would like to return the vehicle it they can't find a problem.
Vehicle was in drive when it slipped into neutral. Also, when making a right turn, the gear shifts back to drive, and one mile later lurched forward while stopped. Dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. *ak

My wife stopped to pickup our 6 y/o son from the babysitter. She put the van in park and left the van running. (the rest of the event was seen by my wife and the babysitter) my 3 y/o son climb out of his car seat , from the rear seat. He climbed into the driver seat and put the van in gear without pressing the brake. The van began to move forward down the street, picking up speed. Wife tryed to catch the van to stop it. Luckly my son turned the steering wheel to the left. The van jumped the curb and ran into a mobile home. Every car I have driven, you must press the brake before the car will go into gear. The dealer didn't tell us of this feature. We would have bought another model(we have 3 kids). What I need to know is : being able to put the van into drive without pressing on the break , a safty recall?
Transmission would not shift gears, vehicle was losing power, and check engine light was coming on. Consumer has been to dealer 3 times.
I have a two year old that put this car into drive while I was putting my four yr old in his car seat. I would have never bought this vehicle had I known that this vehicle could go into gear without having your foot on the brake. I now ask everyone who drives one of these vans if they knew that they could do that - they are as amazed as I am that this is allowed. This is an accident waiting to happen. I am enraged at their nonchalant attitude concerning this - there should be warnings on the vehicle. I even called the dealer to see if it was supposed to be like that. His response was well you just have to make sure the emergency brake is on at all times - thanks for not telling me that when I purchased the car.
