1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

HAD THE LATCH ON THE HATCHBACK SERVICED ABOUT A YEAR PRIOR AS PER THE RECALL. ALL OF THE SCREWS CAME LOOSE AND THE LATCH FELL OFF THE HATCH. THE DEALER APPARENTLY NEGLECTED TO TIGHTEN THE SCREWS WHEN REPLACING THE UNIT AS PER THE RECALL! LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT! *AK

AIR CONDITIONER QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR. WHEN TAKING CAR IN FOR 30000 MILE SERVICE, HAD DEALER (BOB CALDWELL CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH) CHECK THE AIR CONDITIONER. DEALER SAID LEAKS AT EVAPORATOR & COMPRESSOR O-RINGS. WANTED 1400.00 TO REPAIR. HAD AN INDEPENDENT DEALER CHARGE SYSTEM AND IT LASTED FOR REMAINDER OF SUMMER. NEXT YEAR, SYSTEM HAS LEAK ALL COOLANT AGAIN. CALLED INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TO SEE IF I COULD GET RECHARGED. SHOP SUGGESTS I CHECK WITH DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL YET, SINCE MANY OTHER VOYAGERS/DODGES HAVE RECALL DUE TO FAULTY EVAPORATOR. DEALER CLAIMS NO RECALL. TAKE IT TO INDEPENDENT TO SEE IF CAN BE CHARGED. INDEPENDENT DETERMINES THAT NOW THE COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR. IF I HAD PAID DEALER 1400.00 LAST YEAR TO REPLACE EVAPORATOR, I'D STILL NEED TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL 1000.00 THIS YEAR TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE. THIS HAS SOURED ME ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. AND TO THINK I WAS CONSIDERING PURCHASING A PT CRUISER. I THINK I NEED TO RECONSIDER. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH HOOD LATCH RELEASED, CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY UP, BLOCKING VISIBILITY. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

ON MAY 3, 2000 I TOOK MY PLYMOUTH VOYAGER TO ROBERSON MOTORS IN SALEM, OR BECAUSE OF A BROKER BOLT ATTACHING THE STRUT TO THE REAR HATCH ON THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WITH SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE HEADLINER. UPON INSPECTION AND APPRAISING THE DAMAGE, THEY FOUND WASHERS THAT WERE TOO SMALL, CAUSING THE BOLTS TO SNAP. I WAS TOLD THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. UPON CHECKING THEY WERE SURPRISED TO FIND IT WAS NOT LISTED AS RECALLED. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL CHRYSLER AND INQUIRE ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT AS IT CLEARLY FIT THE DESCRIPTION OF "RECALL 730". I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED, RECALL WAS MADE, AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AT THE FACTORY, HOWEVER IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECTED ON THIS VEHICLE AND STILL POSES A PROBLEM ON THE LEFT SIDE. HOPING WE CAN HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER BUT NOT GETTING ANYWHERE. THANK YOU, PATRICIA SPENCE

VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE STALLING OUT AT 0-28 MPH. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. *AK

WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE THERE WOULD BE A DELAY, THEN A BIG BANG, AND IT WOULD GO INTO REVERSE, SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING CAR WOULD SHIFT GEARS ON ITS OWN. CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. *AK

I HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 FAILURES OF THE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT TENSIONER ON MY 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 10 MPH. THE BELT TENSIONER ASSEMBLY BROKE AWAY FROM THE MOUNTING RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF MY POWER STEERING AND NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND A NEW BELT TENSIONER PUT IN. THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SEEN A LOT OF THESE BELT TENSIONER FAILURES. RECENTLY, DURING A SERVICE VISIT TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG ON THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE PEOPLE REPORTED THAT THE BELT TENSIONER WAS AGAIN "FROZEN" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I ASKED WHETHER THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART FOR FREE, THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, AND THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. IT CERTAINLY WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT FAILED ON MY VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME, AND I COULD BARELY STEER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN AT LEAST ONE OTHER NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SAME BELT TENSIONER PROBLEM ON ANOTHE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *AK

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A 45 MPH FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH THE DRIVER'S/ PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

EVERYTHIME PUT INTO REVERSE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS, ALSO WHEN SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WINDS OUT ENGINE AND DOES NOT CATCH INTO GEAR,TO GET INTO OVERDRIVE I HAVE TO RELEASE ACCELERATOR UNTIL IT SHIFTS OR PUSH ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO OVER DRIVE. *AK

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR AN AIRBAG PROBLEM. THE DEALER PROVIDES SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR DROP-OFF BUT WILL NOT PICK UP. WHEN I SERVICE MY IZU TROOPER, THE DEALER DROPS OFF AND PICKS UP SO I CAN GET MY CAR BACK. *AK
