Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle had a factory re- manufactured transmission installed, which is now sticking in second gear and frequently fails to shift into another gear. The manufacturer is aware of the failure, but hasn't provided a remedy to correct it. The transmission has to be replaced with another re-manufactured transmission.”
NHTSA complaint #10105381, filed 2004-12, 154,000 miles“This is 3 rd trans failure for this vehicle, for which I am still making payments on and not being able to use. After talking to others and transmission shop also it appears to be a major problem and has been for many years. I believe chrysler knows they have a problem and should repair and replace these units at a no-charge or at the least a pro-rated per mileage price. …”
NHTSA complaint #725046, filed 2000-07“1990 Plymouth voyager with the 3.3 engine, run the vehicle 20 or 30 minutes and shut it off leave it sit 15 or 20 minutes then start it up and put it in drive it does not want to shift out of low. If I shut it off and start it up and put it in drive 3 or 4 times it will start working. I also have had it shifting ok been on the highway in od and the transmission kicks out of gear until it gets back down to 25, 30 MPH then it slams into low.”
NHTSA complaint #10047611, filed 2003-11“We have already replaced the transmission 4 times; appears a 6th is now needed. Two of the replacements have been free to us because they occured in less than 1 year from installation. This latest one lasted just a little over 1 year, which means that we will have to pay for it ourselves. This known issue should be fully covered by the manufacturer. In fact, I want reimbursement for all of the transmissions I have had to replace.”
NHTSA complaint #738503, filed 2000-12“The a604 transaxle design is flawed. The longest service interval I've experienced with this transmission was 72,600 miles, in the original unit. The 1st rebuild went another 70,000 miles, and then that rebuild only lasted 40,000+ miles. I'm getting tired of paying.”
