1996 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING GAS ONTO ENGINE. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR PROBLEM, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED DUE TO VIN. *AK CONSUMER'S VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL 00V268, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. *SLC

DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG ALONG WITH HORN AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED WITHOUT INCIDENT (HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT OR COLLISION). I AM CONCERNED THAT SUCH A SAFETY FEATURE DISABLES RANDOMLY TO INCLUDE THE DISABLING OF THE HORN. ANY INFORMATION THAT CAN BE RESEARCHED INTO THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I BELIEVE THERE IS A TREND IN THIS MANUFACTURER, AS I AM AWARE OF ANOTHER SUCH OWNER EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.*AK

AIR BAGS ARE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A VEHICLE SINCE IT IS GOVERNMENT REGULATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON A VEHICLE AND IT IS A LOW WEAR ITEM. MY AIRBAGS HAVE FAILED AND CHRYSLER EXPECTS ME TO PAY TO FIX THEM. THEY HAVE ALSO TIED THE AIRBAGS INTO THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL. I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. IF THESE BAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY OR MISFIRE DUE TO THEIR DESIGN, I AND MY PASSENGERS COULD BE SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART, THE STARTER, IGNITION AND IGNITION RELAY WERE REPLACED OR REPAIRED, THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, THE CONSUMER REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED. NLM

REAR HATCH DOOR BECOMES STUCK. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE ADD FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT ACROSS 2-WAY TRAFFIC, HEARD LOUD CLUNK, THEN TRANSMISSION LOST POWER. BARELY MANAGED TO PULL OFF SHOULDER. NO FWD OR REVERSE. DEALER STATES TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT ($1957). SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY, CHRYSLER CORP. UNWILLING TO HELP - CLAIM TO NOT BE AWARE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THIS YR/MAKE/MODEL. ALSO, DEALER STATES VEHICLE LEAKING OIL PAST CAM SHAFT SEALS. REPLACEMENT TO COST $1200. HAVE PAID OVER $3000 ON MANY OTHER PRIOR REPAIRS ON VEHICLE.

AUTO TRANSMISSION FAILURE? COUPLE OF TIMES MY VAN HESITATED TO DRIVE WHEN I PUT GEAR IN DRIVE POSITION . TODAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AFTER IT STARTED TO MOVE, IT DID NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MILES SPEED. MY VAN IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THIS SHOULD NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN TO ANY MAJOR COMPONENTS. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL1996 VOYEGERS. DO MANY OWNERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINTS? I HAVE FRIENDS TOLD ME THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM OF AUTOMATIC TRANSIMMISION WITH ALL 1996 MODELS. IF THAT IS SO THAN CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGE TO ME.IS THERE ANY SECRET WARRANTY OR GOOD WILI POLICY OR SERVICE CAMPAIGN EXISTS? PLEASE ADVISE SOON. ALSO MANY TIMES, TRANSMISSION INDICATOR DOES NOT SHOW THE POSITON OF D OR R WHEN SHIFTED TO D OR R POSITION. ALL POSITONS STAY LIT. SO ITS DIFFICULT TO JUDGE IF YOU ARE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION. ALSO THE CYLINOID MAKES LOUDE NOISE. I TOLD MANY TIMES TO DEALER DURING WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IS NORMAL. BUT I DON'T THINK SO. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER SAME MODEL AND THEIR CYLINOID DON'T MAKE THAT KIND OF NOISE.WHAT ARE THE FACTS?

VEHICLE HAS 2 BUILT-IN CAR SEATS THAT RETRACTOR MODULE FOR HARNESS HAS FAILED, TRAPPING CHILDREN IN SEAT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. NLM
