Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LOW GEAR AS I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DRASTICALLY, HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM ON THE FOURTH TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE, FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 62,000 MILES, THEN AT 70,000 MILES ANOTHER ONE, THEN AT 83,000 MILES ANOTHER ONE AND AT 115,000 MILES ANOTHER ONE, NOW AT 120,000 MILES AND SAME THING HAPPENS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE 604E AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IT IS MY PROBLEM. IT HAS COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE RUNNING, I HOPE MY 2002 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IS BETTER IN QUALITY, IF NOT I WILL GO TO THE NEWS MEDIA ABOUT IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE 89 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER LE OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE, IT SEEMS THAT IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT WHEN THIS OCCURS SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK PROPERLY AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME AND AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT RUN IN ANY GEAR EXCEPT LOW AND REVERSE. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO TO REIMBURSE ALL THE OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION FOR THE MONIES THEY HAVE SPENT AND ALSO MONEY FOR THE TROUBLE IT HAS CAUSED. *LA

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VAN. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THIS ORGANIZATION FOR HELP. MY VEHICLE HAS A A604 ULTRADRIVE TRANSMISSION IN IT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT BY RESEARCH THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION GETTING LOCKED INTO SECOND GEAR. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, RESULTING IN CHRYSLER CORPORATION PAYING FOR THIS DEFECT. IN THE PAST YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, NO-ONE HAS EVER TOLD ME OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES, THE MOST RECENT ONLY LASTED 9,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE BOUGHT, AND TAKEN MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS HAS NEGLECTED TO TELL ME OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPAIRING THIS VEHICLE, AND I'M TIRED OF IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, IT SEEMS TO ME I'M NOT BEING TOLD EVERYTHING, OR THE DEALER IS TRYING TO MAKE A CONSIDERABLE PROFIT AT MY EXPENSE. AGAIN, I WOULD PLEASE LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOPEFULLY GETTING MY MONEY BACK FROM THE PAST TRANSMISSION I HAD REPLACED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE CAR ALWAYS IN THE SHOP, AT LEAST 10-15 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION RELATED PROBLEMS. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ABOUT THIS MATTER. THANKYOU....ALLEN DETWEILER. *AK
