1999 Plymouth Voyager SE review from North America
"Good van, 20mpg in town, 26 mpg highway,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
@ 61,000 oxygen sensor replaced.
@ 103,000 transmission shudder at idle.
@118,000 frnt suspension bushings replaced (rattle)
General comments?
Still has factory plugs at 121K I change oil at 3K no leaks or burn yet.
Reliable except for tranny problem which was mis-diagnosed, after $1,300 rebld tranny still had shudder turned out to be $300 solenoid (tranny shops can't be trusted)
Anyone who owns a Chrysler needs to read ALLPAR. com transmission info because most repair shops do not use correct fluids and can ruin tranny. Shops buy the GM-Ford fluids in bulk and try to use it on Chrysler trannys. I have gone thru the exercise of fighting with the shops to get them to use the right fluid. Attitude is its not their problem and it won't fail for 8 to 15 thousand miles so you won't be able to blame them. Plus if it's a rebuild shop this brings them buisness!
