| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1998 plymouth grand voyager transmission implosion. while driving at highway speed some gears from the 4 speed automatic transmission punched out of the housing causing complete transmission failure and loss of power. pushed vehicle to side of highway, but was left stranded in middle of night with small children and full term pregnant wife. although chrysler was aware of this common problem they would not repair it as ~10000 miles out of warranty - $3000 replacement out of pocket cost. second transmission failed ~38000 miles later, 2000 miles out of warranty and chrysler refused again - $2100 rebuild cost. besides the massive cost, total mechanical failure is very dangerous in highway traffic and if it leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere. *jb |
