THERE WOULD BE A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM FIVE TIMES, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

WHILE SHIFTING GEARS TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM SECOND GEAR TO OVER DRIVE AT THE SAME TIME ON ITS OWN. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC INFORMED DETERMINED THAT THE SOLENOID SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN PARTS. THE FAULTY SOLENOID SWITCH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL COMPUTER. *NM

10/30/03 KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. TOOK TO FIRESTONE IN DECEMBER AFTER IT GOT EXTREMELY LOUD. WAS INFORMED TO GO TO DEALER AS THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. 12/10/03 CHRYSLER REPLACED FLYWHEEL. WAS INFORMED THAT THE DELAY IN REPAIRS WAS BECAUSE 2 OTHER REPLACEMENT FLYWHEELS HAD CRACKED IN THE SAME FASHON. I FOUND NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD FLYWHEEL NOR DID I SEE THE DAMAGED ONE.*AK

SERPENTINE BELT BROKE ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. BELT BROKE 2 OTHER TIMES ALSO. CAR WAS INTO DEALER ON 12/10/03 FOR THIS AND KNOCKING NOISE. THEY FIXED KNOCKING NOISE BUT DID NOT LOOK AT BELTS. ON 2/11/03 THE BELT TENSIONER WAS REPLACED BY FIRESTONE. THE NEW ON LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL BUT THE BELTS HAVE NOT BROKEN SINCE.*AK

THERE IS A RECALL ON PLYMOUTH VOYAGERS 1998 AND OLDER DOING THE SAME THINGS MY 2000 IS DOING, WHICH IS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS ARE: THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY FOR 6 WEEKS AND FOR THE PAST MONTH THE HORN DOES NOT HONK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T TURN ON. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS, NOW THAT I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ISSUE FOR OLDER MODELS. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. *LA

MAIN CRANKSHAFT SEAL FAILING ABOUT EVERY 60,000 MILES. LOSS OFF MOTOR OIL, CAN BE AN ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEM AND CAUSE ENGINE FAILER. WAS FIXED WHEN UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FIXED. HAS HAPPEND AGAIN AT 176,978 MILES.

THE CONSUMER SMELLED A FUEL ODOR ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. *AK THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WHEN A SPECIALLY ORDERED FUEL RAIL SYSTEM WAS PLACED IN. *SC

WHILE DRIVING/PARKING CLOCK SPRING FAILED. THIS CAUSED THE HORN NOT TO WORK, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK
