1996 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

SECOND SEAT SEATBELT WOULD NOT RELEASE. CONSUMER HAD TO GET A PAIR OF SCISSORS TO CUT BELTS LOOSE FROM CHILD'S NECK. *AK

SLIDING DOOR GRAB HANDLE IS HARD TO DEPRESS WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. *SLC *YH

LEAK OF PROB TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT OF DIP STICK OPENING, DETERMINED BY DEALER TO BE TRANSMISSION ROD ASSEMBLY. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. PREVIOUS STEERING NOISE CORRECTED BY TSB. FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW, STEERING INTERMITTENTLY SQUEALS WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE.

CONSUMER NOTICED AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD. CONSUMER HAS YET TO CONTACT DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. *AK THE HORN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONED AS THE RESULT OF AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATION. *YH

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP VEHICLE WOULD BE SHAKING. VEHICLE WAS CONTROLLABLE. COULD NOT SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF LOW GEAR INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THEN TRANSMISSION BLEW. AT DEALERSHIP, MECHANIC INDICATED THAT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED & NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *AK

HERE'S A LEAK ON INSIDE OF VEHICLE, TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT WEATHER STRIPPING IS NOT STICKING TO A BLACK SHINY PIECE OF METAL. DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE STRIP WON'T STICK TO THAT TYPE OF METAL. *AK

FUEL TANK LEAKS FUEL. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED GAS TANK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER 5 MONTHS PRIOR TO TANK LEAKING FOR OTHER PROBLEMS, AND AT THAT TIME TANK WAS LEAKING A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL. AFTER THE 5 MONTHS GASTANK WAS POURING GAS OUT. CURRENTLY, DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT GAS TANK WAS PART OF THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED BEFORE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN.*AK

WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GOING OVER RAIN PUDDLES STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND MAKES IT HARD TO CONTOL VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER DID NOT REMEDY PROBLEM.*AK

FOLLOWING RECALL OF FUEL PUMP O RING WE NOTICED A STONG GAS ODOR FOLLOWING EACH FILLING OF THE TANK TO CAPACITY. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FROM OVERFLOW. FINALLY TOOK TO DEALER. DEALER REPORTED VENT BREATHER TUBE CRACKED ON TOP OF TANK. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TANK DUE TO THE TUBE BEING MOLDED INTO THE TANK. I AGREED TO HAVE TANK REPLACED, AND THEN KEPT THE OLD TANK. CHECKED TOP OF TANK AND COULD SEE THAT LEAKAGE OCCURED, BUT NOT HOW. VENT TUBE WAS REMOVABLE CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT DEALER STATED. TUBE NOT CRACKED. I FILLED TANK AND TIPPED IT TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE VENT TUBE. NO LEAKAGE OCCURRED. I'M WORRIED THAT THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED BY REPLACING THE TANK. NOW THERE IS A NEW RECALL ON FUEL RAIL SYSTEM. MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP SAID THE NEW TANK HAD A REDESIGNED VENT SYSTEM ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. I WAS CHARGHED $789 TO REPLACE TANK WHEN TANK WASN'T THE PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERS EXPLANATION OF WHAT WAS DAMAGED WAS INCORRECT. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VENT TUBE SEAL, ALTHOUGH IT ISN'T APPARENT, OR THERE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE BUILDING IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE, WHICH CAUSES IT TO FLOW OUT OF VENT TO TANK CONNECTION, ALTHOUGH I COULDN'T GET IT TO LEAK. IF THE NEW TANK HAD A REDESIGNED VENT SYSTEM, THAT TELLS ME THE PREVIOUS VENT SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT IF IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN PROBLEM? PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I SHOULD DO. I'M WORRIED WITH THE NEW RECALL THAT THE CAR MAY STILL NOT BE SAFE. THE DEALER DID NOT CHECK THE FUEL RAIL SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE I PAID FOR THE NEW TANK ON NOVEMBER 1. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

FUEL LINES WERE SPILLING GAS ALL OVER ENGINE DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL RAIL. DEALER HAS VEHICLE CURRENTLY.*AK *SLC
