| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Plymouth voyager transmission failed at 36,000 miles. it was just out of the 3 year warranty. some valve shot through the transmission housing. transmission fluid sprayed all over the engine compartment including the exhaust. i'm surprised it didn't burn. to do a total rebuild the independent transmission shop had to weld the case because this failure is so common used transmission housings are scarce. this failure was repeated 3 more times in the year that i owned this vehicle. there were also 2 failures of an electronic control valve on the transmission. the transmission shop owner said he fixes many more chrysler minivan transmissions than any other vehicle. he said its been an ongoing problem with them for at least a dozen years that keeps his family fed. chrysler denied any knowledge of defective transmissions in their vehicles. my research says its an all too common failure in not only the minivans but in the pickup trucks and jeeps as well. i drove chyslers and jeeps all my life but now i won't buy either. *jb |
