Five problems related to power train have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On a family trip to north carolina, the transmission of our 1996 Plymouth Voyager lost third gear traveling in heavy traffic along I-95 south of richmond, va. Luckily my son was able to pull off the side of the road and travel a few miles without third gear to a Chrysler repair shop. Since the shop was closed we had to rent a van to complete the trip and return on Monday to find out what happened. The repairs were not covered under a warranty because Chrysler gave me a 6 year/100,000 mile warranty. Although it has been 7 years since the purchase, the 57,300+ miles on the product does not reflect the 'minimum' mileage the transmission is good for. Needless to say we paid for the entire cost of the transmission repair as well as the cost of the rental cars needed to complete the trip and the cost of hotel rooms necessary to stay over night and to make a 350 mile return trip to pick up the van. The van was not driven extensively or driven harshly during the 7 years I have have owned it. There is absolutely no reason the transmission of this car should lose an entire gear this early its life espcially if the prodcut is sold as a reliable, family-safe vehicle. My question is what further actions can I take to seek reimbursment to defray the repair costs from the Chrysler corporation? please advise. Thank you. Linda l. Klinksiek.
While driving instrument panel will start to act up, speedometer will start to jump up and down in speed, and anything else. Then, vehicle will shut off without any notice. Contacted dealer.
The belt tensioner failed, there was a recall on the clock spring which had broken, the transaxle pan side converter and the steering pump had rusted.
The speedometer and rpm reader inoperative. Nlm.
Consumer stated the speedometer failed.
