2000 Plymouth Voyager Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“My van started emitting a whisling sound after the warranty of 30,000 miles ran out at 40,000 miles and eventually the transmission doesn't want to shift. I took it to the dealer and the owner said that he will eat the cost but I found out that they had sold my wife an extended warranty. Now at 103,000, its doing the same thing of not shifting. The dealer said that we need to pay for the replacement.”

“Vehicle shifted into reverse by it self after idling in park for about 30 seconds, it rolled back causing the driver's door (which was open) to hit the bumper of a parked car thus damaging the door and the left front fender. I personally saw and heard the moment the vehicle shifted into reverse, I was about 20 feet away from the vehicle when I saw the back up lights come on and the vehicle start to roll back.”

“I purchased a new 2000 Plymouth Voyager minivan in november of 1999. In january 2002, at 38,000 miles, the transmission failed, stranding me on the side of the road. A local chrysler dealer diagnosed the cause as a failed torque converter. The torque converter, as well as several other transmission components, were replaced. In january 2003, at 55,000 miles, a transmission fluid leak was noticed. The same dealer repaired transmission fluid lines and seals, and changed the transmission fluid and filter. …”

I travel a lot mostly highway and put approximately 7800 miles on the vehicle since I bought the van. I noticed a leak on the ground in mid-october. Before this I had noticed on three occasions mostly in the morning that the van would hesitate and no go forward when I stepped on the gas, then it would lunge forward, the same happened a couple of times when I tried to go in reverse. …”

“I was driving 35 MPH when the engine made a loud noise. It acted like it was in neutral, and would not go anywhere,it then jumped forward and seemed to be fine, then it did it again and would not move. I had it towed over by aaa to hall the next day.they informed me that the transmission was gone at 50,800 miles and the warrenty only covered 3/36,000 mile. I was less than three years since I purchased the van. They had to replace the transmission. I followed the b schedule of service and had the transmission fluid and filter change at 46,000 miles. …”
