1993 Plymouth Voyager review from North America
"Okay but mediocre transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
* Transmission has died three times ($1200 + $1500).
* Glove box/storage compartment on the passenger side won't stay closed.
* Rear windshield wiper died.
* Sliding door won't close right - bumps cause it to go slightly ajar.
* Radio is faulty - it comes on when it wants to.
General comments?
* Read that Chrysler transmissions used stamped internal parts for transmission rather than machined parts, so the corporation could cut costs.
* Very poor that Chrysler hasn't redesigned the transmission after 10 years - just covers up mistakes with more marketing campaigns.
* Read that other Chrysler models use the same transmission with similar problems ('89-'95 Spirit/Acclaim/LeBaron, '89-'93 Dynasty/New Yorker, '89-'97 Minivan, '90-'93 Daytona, '93-'94 Shadow/Sundance, '95-'97 Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze, '96-'97 Sebring Convertible, '95-'96 Sebring/Avenger, '95-'96 Eagle Talon).
* LESSON: IF YOU GET YOUR TRANSMISSION FIXED, GO TO AAMCO FOR THE LIFETIME GUARANTEE!! YOU'LL NEED IT SINCE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A STRUCTURAL DESIGN FOR CHRYSLER!!
