While driving down the interstate doing about 70 mph I heard a loud noise. Looked at speedometer and it registered 0. I had no power. Barely managed to get van off the road. Got out and looked under it, there was transmission fluid everywhere. Had it checked out by personal mechanic. He then told me that there have been numerous complaints about this year of Plymouth Grand Voyagers. I only have 86,000 miles on it. Also the sliding door locks have failed, windshield washers have failed, a/c has failed, not to mention the airbag light, fuel line and all of the numerous other recalls it has had on it.

Lights flash,bells chime,door locks activate repeatedly, dash gauges go dead very distracting and scary for my wife.

Door lock failures: repeated failures required new mechanisms, also affected the fuel tank door. Transmission failure: occurred in parking lot fortunately. Required $2200 in repair. Dealer (hershberger motors in woodburn, or) failed to correctly seal the transmission. When returned to dealer for this, they broke the right bearing hub, another $400 to repair. Body control module failure: wipers stopped working - an absolute necessity in oregon! bcm repaired by sending out existing unit by dealer (town & country Chrysler, milwaukie, or). Did not correct problem ($450 repair costs). Presently in for correcitve action. Signed - unhappy customer.

Sliding door on passenger's side feels tight on track. But when closing and driving it rattles/ shakes and sounds like it's going to come off. Vehicle has been in 3-4 times to be checked, and nothing could be found wrong. The dealer was notified.

Right rear sliding door opened while driving. Dealer has replaced sensors prior to incident. Please provide additional information.

Both sliding power doors would intermittently not open from either side. Vehicle has been to dealer on five occasions, and problem still occurring.

The fuel pump failure (twice) is not only incovenient and expensive the 2nd time(not under warranty), but it also can be dangerous if it occurs at the wrong time, like during passing. The windshield wipers randomly turn-on is more annoying than dangerous. I do know a few more owners in central wisconsin that have the same problem. My sliding door electronic lock problem is a theft issue--the doors can't be locked when the locks malfunction-- and both sliding doors malfunctioned during the last year- again not under warranty.

No summary.

Intermittently power door would not unlock. In December 1998, both locks were replaced on driver's side and passenger's side doors. In August 1999, problem problem has reocurred. Dealer would repair at consumer's expense can NHTSA help in this matter.

Driver side sliding door failure.

Door rattles.

The driver's side sliding door does not open from outside or inside.

Sliding door continually rattles due to failure of the upper stabilizers and trim.

Sliding door grab handle is hard to depress when trying to exit the vehicle.

Despite several dealership "fixes" gas tank shifts and thumps when accelerating or stopping sharply. All electric door locks had to be replaced due to electrical "vibration"-type noises when activating. Rear brakes have "hummed" when lightly braking since new. Problem evolved into surging. Needed a complete brake job at 40,000 miles due, I believe, to lack of dealership fix before hand.

Power door lock failed.

Computer chip in right rear automatic door lock failed, door would lock but wouldn't unlock from the inside, driver had to exit vehicle on opposite side, go around to other side and unlock door from outside.

Consumer complains of rattling sounds in the passenger sliding door, the latch on the door is inoperable.

Was driving and sliding door came open .

Power door lock actuator failed. Mjs.

Experienced sliding door failure when couldn't open or close, sliding door sliding door coming off the track.

Rear sliding door locks lock automatically.

Intermittently the automatic door locking mechanism trips the power door locks whenever hitting a bump in the road or turning at a corner. This has resulted in both sliding door power lock motors to burn out and needing replacement.

When vehicle is parked on even the slightest slope, the passenger doors, when released close at tremendous force. There is no stop or slowing mechanism in place on the doors once they have been released. The door on our van was closed by one of our children. At that time, the two year old was standing near the door and whas struck by the edge. This resulted in a forehead laceration and her being knocked to the ground. My concern is that if she had been entering or exiting the vehicle, or if any part of her body were in the doorway, she would have suffered a severe or even fatal crush injury. This defect could be easily remedied by the manufacturer through the addition of a slowing mechanism on the track of the door or even an automatic stop similar to those in use with garage doors. When Chrysler was contacted, they could not have been less interested in hearing my concerns. Given that most people who own minivans do so because of small children, this design defect is a tragedy waiting to happen.
