Three problems related to differential unit have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My wife was driving my 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager and the left cv shaft support bearing broke off the differential.
While traveling at about 50 mph, the transmission failed with a very loud noise and dumped transmission fluid onto the roadway. Apparently, a pin in the differential had come loose and destroyed the housing and most internal components. I understand that this is a common problem with Chrysler Mini van transmissions. Chrysler has charged me over $2500 for a replacement unit since they will not take the old unit as a ?core?. This should not happen with only 70,000 miles on the car. Chrysler needs to recall these units and admit they have a serious problem with this vehicle.
