1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER SE - AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AT 72000 MILES. I FOUND THAT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER HAD A SAFETY RECALL ON 1996-1998 PLYMOUTH VANS BECAUSE THE CLOCKSPRING WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY IN THE STEERING COLUMN. CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO BECOME INOPERABLE, THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL TO ALSO STOP WORKING. I FOUND ON A PLYMOUTH FORUM THAT MANY OTHER 1999 VAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE 1999 VAN AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT EXTEND THE SAFETY RECALL. *LA

1999 PLYMOUTH CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR VANS UP TO YEAR 1998, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE 1999 VANS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE CLOCKSPRING. THIS MAY CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG AND THE HORN DOESN'T WORK.*AK

1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER - CLOCKSPRING HERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON ALL MODELS FROM 1996 - 1998 FOR THIS PROBLEM. AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM IN MY 1999 VOYAGER. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR THE SECOND TIME! AT 33,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION "WENT OUT" AND THE DEALERSHIP "REPAIRED IT'. NOW AT 93,000 THE SPEEDOMETER GEAR HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

I HAVE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH MY '99 PLYMOUTN GRAND VOYAGER SE FOR SOME TIME. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES IT SEEMS THAT THERE MOMENTARILY ISN'T ANY BRAKES THEN THERE IS A FEEL IN THE BRAKE PEDAL LIKE A CATCH BEFORE THE BRAKING BEGINS. THERE HAS BEEN OCCASION WHERE ON A SUDDEN STOP IT SEEMED THAT THE BRAKES JUST WERE NOT EFFECTIVELY THERE. THE HARDER I APPLIED THEM SEEMED TO HAVE NO AFFECT. I WAS SHOOK-UP FOR SURE. DURING THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER, BILL LUKE DODGE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, THEREFORE NO REPAIRS WAS MADE. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE PADS BUT HAS MADE NO CHANGE ON THE PROBLEM. *LA

I BOUGHT A 1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. I HAVE NOTICED THE SHIFTER TO PUT IT IN GEAR DOES NOT LOCK, MEANING THE BRAKE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PRESSED BEFORE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. WE FOUND OUT AFTER OUR 4 YEAR OLD ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE SHIFTER SENDING IT INTO DRIVE WITH OUR 2 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN AND STOP THE VAN BEFORE IT HIT ANOTHER CAR. I CHECKED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE ACTUALLY HAS TO BE PRESSED BEFORE YOU CAN MOVE THE SHIFTER. IS THIS A RECALL WITH MY VAN? IT DOESN'T SEEM NORMAL. I NEED SOME ADVICE. *LA

WHILE DRIVING A BANGING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION. SOON AFTER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED ON THE GROUND. *AK HOLES HAD BLOWN THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION IN DIFFERENT PLACES. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION IN THE MAKE/MODEL. (IT ALSO BLEW A SENSOR) *SCC *JB
