1999 Plymouth Voyager review from North America
"Nice car if you do not mind replacing transmissions"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission computer had to replaced at 17000 miles.
The transmission overheated and had to be replaced at 25000 miles.
Visor clip broke and needs to be replaced.
General comments?
If it were not for the transmission, I would really like the car. It has decent power and handles well for its size.
However, it is a little small for my needs. It is difficult to get into the third bench seat, and this seat has little leg room. I would have purchased a grand voyager, but for some reason, the voyager was supposed to be more reliable.
I did not learn my lesson from my last Chrysler mini-van. It went through three transmissions in its lifetime.
Five months past the end on the warranty on my "new" 1999 van, the transmission had a massive leak and had to be replaced. The dealer was not forthright about why this happened. I assume it had a small leak and the computer did not warn me like it should have.
Chrysler is paying half of the $2200 bill, but I am dreading the next time it breaks. I am going to get rid of the car.
