1992 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

I HAVE A PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER IN WHICH WAS INVOLVED IN AN EARLIER RE CALL FOR THE ABS BRAKES NOW THEY FAILED AGAIN*AK

THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE THE CONSUMER OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SERVICED EVERY YEAR. CONSUMER HAS TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES REMAIN DEFECTIVE.*AK

TREAD SEPARATION IN TIRE. THE TIRE WAS A P205/17R15 WITH DOT U9M0 LBX2701 F01L. THE TIRE NAME WAS RESPONSE RST TOURING 2000. THE TIRE HAD 16000 MILES AND WAS ON THE VEHICLE 16 MAR 2002 TO 19 SEP 2004. THE TIRE WAS SOLD AND INSTALLED BY NTB, NATIONAL TIRE & BATTERY, STAFFORD, TX. OWNER DEDUCED THE SEPARATION AFTER THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS ROTATED TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND LATER NOTICED THE BUMP FROM THE TREAD SEPARATION. NTB STATED THAT THE REMAINING 3 TIRES WOULD ALSO FAIL BY TREAD SEPARATION. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. NONE OF THE TIRES WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.

THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD BECAME HARD AND WOULDN'T GO DOWN WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONSUMER COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT INDICATED THAT THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE PUMP MOTOR ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO, THERE WAS RECALL 96V099000 CONCERNING ANTI SKID BRAKE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. THE REMEDY FAILED, AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT HONORING THE WARRANTY AS STATED IN THE RECALL, AND WERE NOT SENDING THE RECALL PART TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST CODE INDICATING THAT THE RECALL PART FAILED, ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM , AND INDICATED THAT THE RECALL PART WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *AK (THE SECOND CONSUMER: TARA BETH) *SC *JB

I HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME WHEN I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOOR NOT STAYING CLOSED. AFTER IT IS SHUT IT POPS OPEN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE HAD THE BOLT ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULD KEEP IT CLOSED, BUT NOT FOR LONG. AFTER IT HAD BEEN OPENED AND SHUT 2-5 TIMES IT WOULD AGAIN POP OPEN. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. I HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT AND FEAR TO SELL IT DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE SLIDING DOOR. SOMEONE SHOULD REPLACE THIS FOR FREE, BUT WHO? I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH 4 CHILDREN AND USED TO RELY ON A MINI-VAN.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHICH CAUSED A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE DUAL FUNCTION PRESSURE SYSTEM, PERTAINING TO HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *LA *NM

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING CONSUMER SMELLED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR. CONSUMER OPENED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND OBSERVED GAS DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY PARKED, AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED.*AK *NM

ABS FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES IT FELT LIKE I WAS HITITNG A ROCK . TOOK FOREVER TO STOP. VAN IS CURRENTLY AT MECHANICS. THEY SAID EGULAR BRAKES FINE WILL NOTIFY ME MONDAY WHAT PROBLEM IS WITH ABS.*AK

THE FRONT SEAT RECLINER BRACKET HAS CRACKED CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WILL NOT STAY UPRIGHT . *JB

THEY REPAINTED THE HOOD FOR ME IF I WAS WILLING TO PAY HALF AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN BUT WORST. THE WOOD PANELING ON THE SIDES IS JUST PEELING AWAY AND THE CAR LOOKS LIKE CRAP ON THE OUTSIDE BUT IS STILL RUNNING GOOD DUE TO ALL THE MONEY WE PUT INTO IT. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN FIXED TWICE FOR A FAULTY SWITCH AND RELAY SWITCH DUE TO THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. I WAS OUT DRIVING JUST THIS PAST WEEK AND WITHOUT WARNING I LOST MY BRAKES AND I AM SUFFERING FROM MS SO I HAD A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFULTY STOPPING THE VEHCILE WITH ONE FOOT I HAD TO USE TWO FEET AND PRAYED A LOT JUST TO GET BACK HOME.
