Three problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine light went on low compression in cylinder #5. Transmission was slipping took it to chrystler said the engine was misfiring, paid for tune up. One week later transmission went out.
The transmission started slipping at 26,000 miles and at times, somewhat jerking into gear. The problem appeared to be worse when the car was cold and when you were shifting into higher gears, it wasn't as noticeable on downshifting. The problem was supposedly fixed but reappeared in less than 20,000 miles. The problem wasn't as noticeable the second time and we thought maybe it just needed an adjustment. We were informed that there was metal in the transmission fluid and the whole transmission had to be replaced. The van is a low mileage vehicle with easy town and highway driving miles and the vehicle has never towed anything. The vehicle appeared to have a factory installed defective unreliable transmission.
Transmission kept slipping and dealer was contacted . Dealer stated that the oil was not proper. In addition, the engine check light kept coming on. Transmission keeps on jumping into gear, and takes 15-20 minutes to go into reverse. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem at this point.
