1992 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS FAILED AND HAS NEEDED TO TO BE REPLACED IN SOME FORM. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF NUMBEROUS COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT CHRYSLER WILL STAND BEHIND THIS PRODUCT AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF REPAIR.

CONSUMER EXPERENCED INTERMITTENT LEAKING AROUND THE O-RINGS. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. *AK

I WAS PARKED ON A HILL. MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHER OPENED THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR. IT SLID OPEN FAST AND CAME OFF THE TRACK. THE REAR PART OF THE DOOR HIT THE CONCRETE ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE FRONT PART OF THE DOOR STAYED ATTACHED. MY NEIGHBOR HELD THE DOOR WHILE I BACKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. WE COULD NOT GET THE DOOR CLOSED NOR WOULD IT COMPLETELY COME OFF THE TRACK. I CALLED THE KOONS BODY SHOP. SOME MECHANICS CAME, TOOK THE DOOR OFF AND THEN SOMEHOW REATTACHED IT. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN STANDING WHERE THE SLIDING DOOR LANDED A SERIOUS INJURY WOULD HAVE RESULTED. THE MANUFACTURER ASSUMED NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE IT IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE DOOR. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. I APPEALED ALL THE WAY TO THE ARBITRATION BOARD BUT THE COMPANY WOULD TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL SINCE I WAS PAST THE 12-MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD. I THINK THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH SOME FREQUENCY WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE BODY SHOP REPAIRMAN WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. I AM ALSO HAVING SOME PROBLEMS CURRENTLY (2/27/99) WITH THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WHICH IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND AN INDEPENDENT REPAIRMAN HAS CONFIRMED THAT HE SEES THIS QUITE OFTEN. I DO NOT THINK DOOR STRUCTURES ON THE BODY OF THIS CAR ARE WELL MADE AND I BELIEVE THEY MAY POSE SOME SAFETY HAZARD.
