Five problems related to automatic transmission cooler have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Purchased voyager 2 yrs ago, dealer showed us he had rebuilt transmission 2 months earlier. After 2 years, I have replaced radiator, "cooling fan relay" x2, the transmission was rebuilt again, the cv joint broke and cracked the transmission case (after it was rebuilt), the radio went out, the ac is completely gone estimated @ $1800 to repair. Brakes are grabbing and/or soft. Is this a "lemon"?.
Leak of prob transmission fluid out of dip stick opening, determined by dealer to be transmission rod assembly. Had to replace entire transmission. Previous steering noise corrected by TSB. For about 6 months now, steering intermittently squeals with slight vibration in steering wheel. Dealer cannot duplicate.
Transmission oil cooler bypassed while a new cooler was on order, fire suspected to have started in that area claim # 22-v361-586. Nlm.

I have received a recall notice for a radiator fan relay, which is not mentioned on your site. Today, I found a new leak of transmission fluid, the red lights are again flashing on and off, there are power surges in the control panels, the engine chokes and shudders. Oh, and the a/c is out again. We won't even mention the windhield wipers which have continually gone on and off since we have owned this car, or the airbag alarms, or the incredible amount of money we have put into this maintained car. My 20,000 car has become a 40,000 lemon. There is simply no excuse for this, mileage or not. I have attempted to keep this car because I wanted a "safe" car for my teenagers to drive. Now, it appears I have them driving the pinto of the 1990's. I thought I was keeping my kids safe!! when the engine failed, I had the car taken to an non dealer becuase I am fed up with their attitudes. . . What do you expect at 100,000 miles, etc. When the first diagnostic was ran on the car, a bewildering array of codes came up. After changing the spark plugs, all of the codes dissapeared. However, the electrical problems increased in intensity, and now I'm afraid my daugher will go up in a fireball. I already assume there will be no response from the manufacturer. . . . I am going to consider a suit as I consider these cars dangerous! fuel leaks, static charge buildups? come on!.
