1989 Plymouth Voyager Transmission Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the transmission system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Transmission 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.

I HAVE A 1998 VOYAGER VAN AND IT HAS ALREADY HAD 2 TRANSMISSIONS (BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER) PUT IN IT! WAS THERE EVER A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS OR PARTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOR THAT YEAR? THIS IS NOT RIGHT! TWO NEW TRANS-SENSORS WERE JUST PUT ON...IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING BUT NOT CORRECTLY. I HAVE 3 SMALL BOYS AND AM ON MY OWN. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *AK

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION W/OVERDRIVE HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED TWICE--IT IS DOWN NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST ONE WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, IT HAS GONE DOWN AGAIN. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PLYMOUTH VOYAGER MINIVANS OR HAS ANY MANUFACTURER RECALLS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT. OR AM I STUCK WITH HAVING TO PURCHASE YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION? *AK
