1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT PRIOR NOISE. CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICES 818 AND 730 FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

I CALLED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY USAA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CHYSLER MINIVANS COME OUT OF PARK. IN MY CASE THE VAN WAS IN THE GARAGE AND MY SON WAS LETTING THE DOG OUT AND THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE NEARLY OVER HOI CRASHED THROUGH A FENCE ONTO A NIEGHBORS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 6 HOURS AS AN AUTOMATIC IT HAS TO BE FULLY IN PARK TO GET THE KEY OUT. I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER. *AK

ON RETURN DRIVE FROM NJ TO RI ON I 95, WHEEL STARTED SUDDENLY VIBRATING WITH INCREASING SEVERITY UNTIL VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SINCE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, I REDUCED SPEED, BUT VIBRATING BECAME WORSE. TAKEN TO DEALER, TOWN FAIR TIRE, SEEKONK, MA WHO REPLACED RIGHT FRONT TIRE DUE TO THE RADIAL BELTS SHIFTING AND LOOSENING. 70 % OF TIRE TREAD REMAINED AND TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AS PER CAR MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS (DOT NUMBER: CCP9 TIRESIZE: P195/75R14)

THE DOOR POST ON RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT DOORS IS BREAKING OUT OF THE MAIN FRAME WHERE THE HINGE BOLTS ON I HAVE TALKED TO 5 AUTO BODY REPARE SHOP AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN THE LAST 2-3 YEARS. *AK

OVERHEATING REPORTED; ORIGINAL DEALER REPLACED RELAY SWITCH; UPON REQUEST TO EXAMINE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM, CONFIRMED NO PROBLEM. SECOND DEALERSHIP EXAMINED CAR AND SAID HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN -- $2000 REPAIR. SAME DEALER ADVISED PATTERN OF HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS IN THESE MODELS. ORIGINAL DEALER SUBSEQUENTLY EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DENIED PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER DRIVING, PROBLEM RECURRED ONLY NOW CONFIRMING HEAD GASKET. COST OF REPAIR EXCEEDS BOOK VALUE OF VEHICLE, BUT ONE DEALER ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED PATTERN OF PROBLEM. IT SEEMS, THEREFORE, MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. DECISION TO REPAIR MUST BE IMMEDIATE BECAUSE OF COST. *AK

RECEIVED RECALL #99V113000 IN THE MAIL. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER ARRIVING WITH VEHICLE MECHANIC INDICATED AIR BAG PROBLEM WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS PROBLEM STILL EXIST CONCERNING AIR BAGS.*AK

DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER IN PHOENIX, CEREMIC CALIPER? MELTED TO BRAKE AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO CEASE UP CAUSING INSTANT LOSS OF BRAKES, NO WARNING, DROVE 4 ADDITONAL MILES TO REPAIR SHOP AFTER HEARING LOUD GRINDING, REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT BREAKS WERE CEASED DUE TO MELTED COMPONENT AND WITHIN MILES WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF AND SEVERED BRAKE LINE CAUSING INSTANT FAILURE OF VEHILE BRAKES. THIS HE NOTED IS COMMON TO THE PYMOUTH VOYEGAR AND DODGE CARAVEN IN THE PHOENIX. SINCE THIS IS A FAMILY VAN, I AM ONLY GRATEFUL WE DID NOT HAVE THE KIDS IN THE CAR WHEN COMPLETE FAILURE OCCUR. NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENED. SEEMS THE CERAMIC PART IS MANUFACTURER ERROR IF THEY DON'T WORK IN HOT WEATHER.*AK

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP ESPECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A TURN, GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, SLOWING DOWN FOR ANY REASON. DEALER KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A DIRTY THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, EVEN WITH REGULAR CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY, THERE IS NO WAY TO COMPLETELY PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN ON A CURVY ROAD LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING, POWER BREAKS, ETC. HAD A VEHICLE BEEN APPROACHING, MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN BROADSIDED.

CONSUMER HAD YOKAHAMA TIRES, MODEL # P20570T15, AND THEY SEPARATED AT THE TREAD. *AK

ABS ACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY. FAILURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON ICY ROADS WHEN ABS IS EXPECTED TO WORK AND DOES NOT.
