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. THE SCHEDULE B IN MY OWNERS MANNUAL SAYS 48,000 MILES. THE SERVICES MANAGER SAYS THAT IT SHOULD BE CHANGED AT 36,000 MILES.

I HAVE A 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 12/00. I EXPEREINCE A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO DRIVE. FROM A PARKED POSITION, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND PROCEED TO BACK UP. ONCE I HAVE COMPLETED BACKING OUT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO (ATTEMPT) GO FORWARD. THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO GO IN REVERSE (SEVERAL FEET). I HAVE TRIED SHIFTING TO OVERDRIVE, NEUTRAL, AND PARK HOWEVER THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO MOVE IN REVERSE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AS I HAVE ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, ASSUMING THE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE MOVING FORWARD WHEN IN DRIVE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM, HE BLAMES IT ON ME NOT PUTTING MY BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN. I ADVISED HIM THAT DESPITE THE POSITION ON MY BRAKE IF THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE IT SHOULD MOVE FORWARD OR IF IT IS IN PARK IT SHOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY MOVES FORWARD, BUT NOT UNTIL IT IS READY. MY TRANSMISSION FLUID IS CLEAN AND FULL. MY MILEAGE NOW IS APPROX 25471. THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.
TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO REVERSE WHILE VEHICLE WAS COLD. FINALLY, TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL. STALLING STARTED ON REPORTED INCIDENT DATE. TS
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NETRAL GEAR, THEN IT CUT OFF. TRANSMISSION WENT. REPLACED TRANSMISSION, BUT PROBLEM REOCCURRED. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM.*AK
CHECKING UNDER HOOD WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. WHEN TURNED KEY TO START ENGINE THE VEHICLE "SLIIPED" INTO NEUTRAL AND RAN BACK OVER ME CAUSING MAJOR INJURY. I BELIEVE IN NEWER VEHICLES THE INTERLOCK HAS BEEN REMOVED WHICH MAY HAVE PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT, IS THIS A TRUE STATEMENT?*AK
WHILE PARKED 2 YEAR OLD CHILD PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR WITHOUT APPLYING BRAKES, AND VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD, HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK
