17 problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1997 Plymouth Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
It all began with a "bump" in the transmission when the ac was on. Soon after that startedtransmission would lock into "limp home" mode betwen 30 and 35 mph. It kicked into limp home mode on the highway, while I was driving 65 and put my family in jeapordy. I parked in in the driveway and left it there for 2 months. When I decided to try it again to get it to a mechanic, it wouldn't even go in reverse. Brought it to a Chrysler dealership in the area to be repaired at the tune of $2,000 for an overhaul. Metal all throughout the tranny. The dealership we bought it from denies any TSB's on the vehicle and has been quite nasty to us, so we brought it to another Chrysler dealer. How do we go about getting this paid for by daimler Chrysler?.
While driving the engine would lose power and consumer is unable to accelerate. Dealer has been notified. Ph.
Consumer is original owner of vehicle and has had 2 transmissions fail without warning while driving. Dealer has not been able to determine cause of failures. First failure occured at 55k miles, second at 119k miles. Ts.
Reporting failure of original and replacement transmission from Chrysler corporation. Second failure happened on highway and jeopardized driver and occupants. Failure happened within days of replaced transmission purchased from Chrysler.
The minivan lurched backward 1-2 ft after it was placed in reverse. If someone had been in back of the van they many have been seriously hurt. The mechanic said it looked like the transmission literally exploded inside.
Vehicle can be put in drive/ reverse or neutral without pressing on brakes. Driver feels its unsafe because if driver bumps shift lever it may go into any gear. Please provide any further information.
I also have a transmission problem. First it would take a long time for it to shift out of 1st to 2nd. Then it would take a long time for reverse to kick in. Now its not working period.
Our 1997 Voyager had to have transmission replaced at 43000 miles. We contacted the dealer and the manufacturer about the problem and we were told that it was out of warranty. We had regular maintenance done at a national oil franchise. In order to get our van back on the road, we had to pay Chrysler $700 for labor. We have since found out through other web sites about secret recalls pertaining to Chrysler transmission problems. Had we known about this recall, we would have fought them to the end! we feel we are entitled to a refund of our $700 and Chrysler should go "public" with these recalls! thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely matt vogelpohl, sr.
Our auto matic transmission keeps failing and stalling, have been to a dealer twice and they can't find a problem.
I am writing to please find if there are any other complaints on Chrysler products regarding bad transmissions. I just feel that it is not right to replace a transmission in a 3 year old vehicle. I have two mechanics, one of whom worked for Chrysler as a mechanic, who swears Chrysler simply has bad transmissions. Thank you for your time.
