| I just bought a 2005 T&C Touring with 52K miles. Lately it seems when on the highway going up a hill when the van downshifts it seems to shudder, Seems to happen around 68 mph. I also hear a loud knocking like something is slapping the trans housing (much louder than say a piston knock). The feeling that best describes it is like a 10 speed bike where the chain can quite get to the next sproket and keeps falling back. No check engine light or anything. Any thoughts? | |

Anyone found a solution to their voyager stalling? I've a 99 .5td which is running fine but engine stalls every so often, not much of a pattern to it though. Put some redex through to clean out the engine and it ran fine for 5 weeks but i'v had it cut out on me 5 times in last 2 weeks. 3x at high speed, don't get it. Diagnosis at dealers couldn't pin point problem, came back with a list of maybe's including wiring and fuel pump. Anyone got any suggestions? Would be really greatful, here in uk not many garages have experience in dealing with chryslers. thanks jay. |

Replying to: tom166 (Nov 03, 2007 2:53 pm) Some had previously said it fixed the problem (simidave), some said it improved but not completely fixed (tom166). What about issy and izzy5, did it fix yours. I am asking because it didn't fix mine. It was a lot better after the update, but it gets worst with time. The manufacturer is trying to make me feel as though I am the only one out there for which it didn't work. Here was their response : It has been our experience that the bulletin service, properly completed, has been very successful in bringing the symptoms as described to a satisfactory conclusion . So could you give an update on your transmission so I can see if I am really alone in this? Thanks |

Replying to: tom166 (Dec 09, 2007 5:46 pm) The total operation of any vehicle is subjective in nature which would result in differences of opinion. You may bug them until they fix it, but I'm warning you, I was already told by the dealership that they can't do anything more than what the sofware update did. I have my CAMVAP hearing on next Monday. I'll let you know what the arbitrator had to say.

Replying to: chdabren (Nov 28, 2007 3:42 pm) It might be mentioned that a lot of owners use a 7-pin to 5-pin adapters when towing their boats on trailers with brakes. These trailers typically handle no more than 3,000 pounds. That said, I still wouldn't recommend a T&C for towing a boat. Since AWD is no longer an option (after Sto 'n Go was introduced), one shouldn't count on front wheel drive to pull a boat out of a public access going uphill on a wet ramp. |
