I HAVE A 1998 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER WITH THE 3.3L MOTER, EVERY TIME THE VAN GOES THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER THE DRIVE BELT COMES OFF. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME,WHAT HAS TO BE DONE IS THE BELT TENSER AND PULLYS NEED TO BE CHANGED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL KEEPS COMING ON AND GOING OFF, ABS LIGHT COMES ON THEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES OFF. SPEED IS UNKNOWN, AMOUNT OF GAS IS UNKNOWN, OIL, ETC. THIS IS RIDICULOUS IN THE FACT THAT SO MANY HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND THE COMPANY STILL HASN'T RECALLED THE VEHICLES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. YES I MAY HAVE A 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER, BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT BECAUSE OF THE INCOMPETENCE THAT THIS COMPANY HAS THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO SHELL OUT MONEY TO HAVE IT FIGURED OUT AND REPAIRED. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL (FOR OTHER VEHICLES, OBVIOUSLY VERY NORMAL FOR THIS ONE IN GENERAL). THE STRANGEST THING IS, IF THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP FROM THE SUN, THE PANEL SEEMS TO WORK, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, WHERE I LIVE IT DOESN'T WORK, AND I HAVE TO GUESSTIMATE EVERYTHING. HOW IS THIS SAFE?!?! *TR

WE OWN A 1998 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER WITH A 3.3 LITER ENGINE. ON FRIDAY,OCTOBER 1,2010, MY WIFE DROVE SLOWLY THROUGH A PUDDLE AND THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND OTHER SYSTEM POWERED BY THE SERPENTINE BELT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HER ONCE BEFORE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. MY WIFE USUALLY ENJOYS DRIVING HER VAN BUT NOW HAS LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN IT. SHE STATES IT'S A VERY SCARY SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS. WITH ALL I HAVE READ IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO HAVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CORRECTED. *TR
