Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Powertrain (other) reportsComplaints 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.

1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER WITH 74,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION DIED COMPLETELY WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL PIN SHOT THROUGH THE TOP OF THE TRASMISSION, CAUSING US TO HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF APPROX. $2,500.00. CHRYSLER DEALERS ARE WELL AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS. THEY ALL KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. AT TEAM GOEWEY DODGE IN LATHAM THAT THIS IS A COMMOM OCCURENCE WITH THESE VANS IN PARTICULAR. ALL OF THE OTHER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA CONCURRED WITH THIS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. ON 1/27/03 AND THEY WILL NOT DO A THING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE CAR DIED ON A DAY WHEN IT WAS BETWEEN 10 - 15 DEGREES AND -20 WITH WINDCHILLS
