Has Chrysler ever fixed the problem with their Voyager, Caravan transmissions? If so, what year is problem free? I love the little mini's, but do not want to get into endless transmission problems.

I don't think any year of any vehicle can be called problem free. However, my 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager has 166,000 on the original engine (3.3L) and transmission with nothing more than normal maintenance items in the case of the transmission. The engine has required a little more work such as starter, water pump and idler pulley.

Drive the vehicle reasonably and maintain it properly and you likely won't have endless transmission problems unless you get a lemon. And lemons come from all manufacturers. The worst car I ever owned was a Honda Accord that I bought new. Finally traded it in at 80,000 or so miles for an Acclaim which was one of the best cars I ever owned.

From what I have read... It is the 4 speed automatic transmission attached to the V6 that experiences most of the problems.
The three speed auto that comes with the 4 cylinder engine has a better durability record.
I don't know if there is an answer to this. If so, it wasn't 1996.

I checked with the service manager at a local dealership regarding this issue. The manager's response was that the Chrysler automatics REQUIRE scheduled transmission fluid changes. If you don't change the fluid, they will fail before 100,000 miles. Too many drivers neglect this maintenance and suffer the consequences.

You used to be able to ignore things like trans fluid changes and cooling system flushes and get away with it. Not any more.
You could even stretch oil change intervals, but no more.

That's right. The lack of cooling system flushes is the #1 reason for Intake gasket failures on GM Products
