Three problems related to transmission not go into gear have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Originally noted the reverse gear had a delay when purchased new, but was told it was normal. While driving home from airport car slowed and appeared to lack power (clutch slippage), 2 miles later upon deceleration and accecleration heard a grinding sound and noted a sluggish forward motion. Made it back to home and shut car down (nite time). Restarted car in morning and noted that car would not back out of garage, also tried putting car in nuetral, but care would not move (appears to be stuck in a gear). Vehicle currently unmovable. Contacted manufacture and requested assistance with parts (I would pay for labor), but the reps (more than one) I talked with said that they decline to provide any assistance. They also told me that their word was final and that it would be useless to ask to talk to anyone else. Since I am in the military they refered me to military sales and service (they said that I might try arbritration). Whatever happened to good faith and loyalty to customers.
While driving,transmission jumped out of place & would not shift gears-had to rebuild & problem still not fixed, air conditioner completely went out had to replace whole system. Independent front torsion bar- front sway bars broke at bolts-upper strut bearings damaged-completely replaced. Very dissapointed in this vehicle< not safe to travel with children in it!!.
When weather is cold transmission will not go into gear. Vehicle wouldn't go forward or backward. Dealership mechanic told consumer that he had to get a brand new transmission. The internal parts for the transaxle had failed and was replaced by the dealer.
