IN MAY OF 1996 I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE MINI-VAN WAS PEELING VERY BAD. MY HUSBAND WAS TRAVELING AROUND THE COUNTRY IN THE VAN AND WE WERE THEREFORE UNABLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT IMMEDIATELY. AS TIME PASSED, THE PEELING WORSENED AND OTHER AREAS ALSO STARTED TO PEEL (THE HOOD, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR) AND MY HUSBAND THEN CONFRONTED A DEALERSHIP IN 1/97 ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY SAID BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED EDITION COLOR, THE PAINT JOB WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE TOP OF THE VAN HAS SINCE BEGUN TO RUST, AS HAVE SECTIONS OF THE HOOD AND SOME OF THE DR SIDE DOOR.

THE FRONT PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLES DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY. ON SEVERAL OCCASION BOTH SEAT BELTS WERE NOT SECURED WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERVERE INJURY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURED. *YC

NHTSA RECALL 99V113000 AND MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 818.CONSUMER WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE REMEDY OF THE RECALL. THEY DISCONNECTED THE FUSE AND HE FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

WHENEVER DRIVING BETWEEN 35 & 45MPH VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VERY BADLY. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER & MECHANIC, REPLACED THE AXLE/STRUTS/ TIE ROD ENDS/TIRES/BRAKES & TURNED THE ROTORS. THE CAUSE OF THE SHAKING HAS NOT BEEN FOUND OR CORRECTED. *AK

WE HAD TO REPLACE 2 TRANSMISSION TWICE IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS, DUE TO A PIN BREAKING IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND THEY DIDN'T REPLACE SEAL , THEY USED SILICONE INSTEAD. THE AIRCONDITIIONER HAS NEVER WORKED , IT WAS WINTER WHEN WE GOT IT AND TRUST THEM TO BE HONEST, THE FIRST DAY OF HOT WEATHER IT DID NOT WORK! THE LIGHTER AND HORN CANNOT BE USED TOGETHER, BECAUSE THEY BLOW FUSES, AND THEY ALSO KNEW ABOUT THAT, AND SAID THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND NEVER DID!!!!!!

I RECENTLY HEARD ON NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1994 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION BY MAIL. I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VAN IN TEXAS BUT NOW RESIDE IN OLYMPIA. PLEASE PROVIDE ME ANY INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO RECALLS ON PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER (SE). INFORMATION REQUEST, NO SAFETY DEFECT (S) MENTIONED IN THE SUMMARY. *AK

MY WIFE USES THIS VEHICLE. ON A FAMILY TRIP IN APRIL I HEARD A RATTLING THAT SOUNDED LIKE A DOOR PARTIALLY OPENED BUT I COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I WENT TO SUPERMARKET AND TRIED TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH WITH MY KEY. THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT OPEN. I USED THE ELECTRIC DOOR LATCH AND THE REAR HATCH OPENED. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED THE THREE MOUNTING BOLTS FOR THE LOCK MECHANISM WERE GONE. I PUT IN THREE METRIC BOLTS (SAE BOLTS WOULD NOT FIT IN THE PRESENT HOLES) BUT FOUND THEY LOOSENED OVER TIME. I FINALLY PUT IN 3 BOLTS WITH LOCK WASHERS AND DOUBLE NUTS TO PREVENT BACK OFF. I OBSERVED THAT THE METAL WAS TOO SOFT AND FATIGUED BECAUSE THE THREADS WERE NON-EXISTENT, WHICH MEANT IT USE AS A LOCK ASSEMBLY IS INCORRECT AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THIS VAN AND I AM VERY CONCERNED. THIS UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL ON 4/23/96, RECALL #CFXG6405, AUTH CODE 3831, PERFORMED BY CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH OF PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, 234 ROUTE 4 EAST, PHONE 845-0701. CHRYSLER IS A VERY DIFFICULT COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT HELPFUL. I TRIED CALLING BUT THE LINE IS CONSTANTLY BUSY. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *AK
