1997 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. *AK

WHEN VAN WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG. ALSO, HORN DOES NOT WORK, REMOTE ENTRY ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, FUEL GAUGES DOES NOT WORK, A/C HEATER BLINK ON AND OFF,INSIDE DOME LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF, STEERING COLUMN FREEZES, CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ON AND OFF.

CLOCK SPRING WENT OUT CAUSING HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO WORK AND AIR BAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. *JB

WE BROADSIDED A VAN WHO WHICH WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT. IT WAS A TOTAL FRONT END HIT ON OUR VAN AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, AND WELL MAINTAINED. ORIGINAL TIRES WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE TREADWEAR. ON CLEAR DRY WELL MAINTAINED TOLL ROAD WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE SIDEWALL COMPLETELY BLEW OUT. MY WIFE (THE DRIVER) WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF SHE HAD NOT KEPT HER HEAD AND NOT SLAMMED ON BRAKES OR PANICKED AND OVERSTEERED. WE FELT IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SET OF TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE REMAINING TIRE'S TREADWARE SEEMED FINE. WE SAVED THE PIECES OF THE TIRE THAT BLEW, TOOK DIGITAL PICTURES, AND VIDEO. I QUESTION SAFETY OF THE TIRE AND LARGE MINI-VAN MATCHUP. HOPEFULLY, SHOULD THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE, THEY TOO ARE FORTUNATE, AS WAS MY WIFE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/65R15 )

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES / CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO WORK, AND HORN CANNOT BE USED. PROBLEM HAPPENS ONLY WHEN ENGINE STARTS, AND IS INTERMITTENT. *AK THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN FAILURES CAUSED BY CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY AND WAS REPLACED. *YH

CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON, HORN IS WORKING AGAIN. CONSUMER HAS NOT CHECKED CRUISE CONTROL.*AK

WHILE PULLING UP TO AN INTERSECTION I HEARD A CLUNK UNDER THE VAN LIKE I HAD SOMETHING HIT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VAN. I WENT TO TURN AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. AFTER PULLING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I FOUND THE SERPENTINE BELT HANGING LOOSE. I WENT TO A SERVICE STATION AND THEY FOUND THAT THE BOLT SECURING THE TENSIONER PULLEY HAD BROKEN AND THE TENSIONER WAS GONE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE GOT THE PARTS FROM TOLD OUR MECHANIC THAT THEY HAVE REQUESTS FOR TWO OR THREE OF THE TENSIONERS A WEEK DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. IT COST ALMOST $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

I HAD TO REPLACE MY POWER STEERING PUMP. MY MECHANIC NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS ON MAIN PULLEY (S/N OR PART # ON PULLEY: 5 51630K OR 5281 262). THE CENTER PART IS MADE FROM METAL AND PULLEY IS PLASITC. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN SEND A DIGITAL PHOTO TO SOMEONE FOR INSPECTION?*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH, VEHICLE STALLED, MECHANIC FOUND CAMSHAFT HAD BROKEN, NO PRIOR WARNING. *AK THE ENGINE HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. *YH
