WE OWN A 1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. AT APPROXIMATELY 69,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE TRANSMISSION LITERALLY BLEW UP AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AND NEARLY LEFT THE ROAD. A PART HAD BROKEN OFF FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND BLEW A 6 INCH BY 3 INCH HOLE THROUGH THE CASING BETWEEN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION. THE CASING DEBRIS THAT BLEW INTO THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY MANGLED THE TRANSMISSION. NO ONE WAS INJURED ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED OF THE CAR AT THE TIME. WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE MECHANIC'S REPORT. *JB

PREMATURE CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES. TWO BRAKE LINES LEADING TO THE REAR BRAKES RUSTED AT JUNCTIONS BETWEEN THE HARD TUBING AND FLEXIBLE TUBING. BOTH CORRODED WITH THE SAME PATTERN AND ONLY AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATION. INDICATIVE OF MATERIAL INCOMPATIBILITY - FAILURE TO ENGINEER THE PART PROPERLY. RUSTED PART FAILED COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT WARNING. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FAST AND NEEDED TO BRAKE HARD. THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BRAKE LINES. THEY WERE, THEREFORE, VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. *NLM
PROBLEMS WITH 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER EXPRESSO TRANSMISSION. *MR THE PIN CAME OUT THE DIFFERENTIAL AND IT CRACKED THE CASE. *PH *JB
MY TRANSMISSION HAD A HUGE BANG AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE PIN BLEW FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH THESE MINIVANS, BUT CHRYSTLER IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT.
IF THE VEHICLE WAS ON HALF A TANK IT WOULD SHUT OFF. *NLM
