1997 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER Complaints

THE SERPENTINE BELT FALLS OFF AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED. THIS IS EVEN AFTER WE PAID TO HAVE A BRACKET INSTALLED & TENSIONER PER TSB TO PREVENT THIS FROM REOCCURRING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BELT HAS FALLEN OFF. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT PROVIDE A PRODUCT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT PROVIDE A SERVICE WHICH WOULD LEAD THE CONSUMER TO BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN DEFECT IS REMEDIED. ( IS THIS NOT FRAUD?) ALSO, THIS FAILURE MODE CAUSES A SITUATION IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED - HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?*AK

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY WIPERS GOING ON AND RIGHT BACK OFF SINCE THE MONTH I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 2000 . I CANT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE NOONE KNOWS WHY IT DOES IT .

WHILE TRYING TO GET THAT FIXXED THEY TOLD ME MY WATER PUMP IS LEAKING (WHICH IS OK AND EXPECTED OF MOST VEHICLES , ) I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY DASH LIGHT COMPUTER RESET BECAUSE ALL MY AC DFROST AND WIPER LIGHTS WERE BLINKING CONTINUOUSLY. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO THIS IS ONLY A 97 MODEL AND I HAVENT EVEN MADE MY FINAL PAYMENT BUT NOW I HAVE ALL THESE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.

THE SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEM SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN ON THE ROAD. OFTEN WE CAN FEEL A JITTER WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND SHIFTING THE GEAR. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN FOR NO REASON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW HOURS AND GOES AWAY.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND DOES NOT GO OUT. CURISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. HORN DOES NOT WORK. THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN BAKERSFIELD WILL NOT COOPERATE AND SAYS MY CAR IS NOT BEING RECALLED. WILL CHARGE ME OVER $90 TO JUST LOOK AT THE CAR. HAVE CALLED THEM MANY TIMES AND IS HARD TO GET VEHICLE IN. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THERE. WILL HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE ELSEWHERE. CHRYSLER IS NOT COOPERATING AT ALL. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS AUTO TO ANYONE. CHRYSLER DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.
