1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE OUR '99 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER'S TRANSMISSION COOLANT CLAMPS BECAUSE OF A LEAKAGE. OUR CHRYSLER DEALER HAS INFORMED US THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THAT THE CLAMPS ON THE VAN ARE DEFECTIVE & WE HAVE HAD TO PAY $200 TO REPLACE THE LEAKING CLAMPS FOR ONES THEY TELL US ARE MADE DIFFERENT AND THAT THEY SAY ARE FIXING A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS ON ALL OF THESE MINIVANS.

WHILE TURNING TO PULL INTO THE GARAGE, THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED STEERING. COULD NOT STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. WHOLE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THEN VAN COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. I WOULD HEAR STRAINING ON THE ENGINE AND THE RPM GAUGE WOULD SHOW A HIGHER RPM RATE FOR THE LOW SPEED I WAS TRAVELLING. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE ENGINE BLOCK IS HAVING TO BE REPLACED BECUASE OF SLUDGE BUILDUP. MANUFACTURER IS CLAIMING OWNER NEGLIGENCE BECUASE OIL WAS NOT CHANGED PRECISELY EVERY 3000 BUT USUALLY CHANGED BETWEEN 3000 AND 6000 MILES WHICH FALLS UNDER THERE HIGHWAY SCEDULE A OF EVERY 7500. DT

SPEED CONTROL DEVICE QUIT WORKING AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT COME OUT OF FIRST GEAR REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND I EXPECT THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ASAP!!! MR

THIS IS MY THIRD ATTEMPT AT GETTING THIS MATTER REPORTED! I HAVE CALLED TWICE BEFORE (AROUND 7/17 AND AGAIN AROUND 8/7) BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE FORM(S) I NEED TO SIGN! ACCORDING TO YOUR SITE MY REPORT "IS THE FIRST STEP" IN GETTING THIS VERY DEFINITE SAFETY RELATED DEFECT FIXED. I HAVE NO AIR BAGS THAT WORK, AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO HORN (DEFINITELY), AND NO CRUISE CONTROL. I KNOW IT IS PROBABLY THE CLOCKSPRING, BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED!*AK
