1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED A DAY BEFORE THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THE CONSUMER HAS REQUESTED TO RECEIVE A REFUND. SCC

MY 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAD IT FIXED BEFORE THE RECALL CAME OUT. CHRYSLER IS NOW REFUSING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR CLAIMING IT IS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL LIST. I BELIEVE THE RECALL LIST IS NOT REACHING ALL OF THE EFFECTED VEHICLE'S AND SHOULD INCLUDE ALL 98 VOYAGERS. *JB

THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS WAS CLOUDED, WHICH REDUCED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING.*AK *JB

CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER, A PINK SUBSTANCE HAD LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE. *JB ON EACH OCCASION , THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE OUT, AND A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. THE TRANSMISSION DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE KEEPLER PIN WAS FOUND NOT PROPERLY HARDENED. SCC

AFTER RECALL REPAIR OF THE CLOCKSPRING, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE HORN SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY AND THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. *AK *NLM

I WAS CHANGING MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY USING THE JACK SUPPLIED WITH MY 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. I HAD JUST REMOVED THE TIRE WHEN THE "JACK SCREW" SNAPPED IN HALF. THE VAN FELL TOWARDS ME, HITTING ME AND KNOCKING ME BACKWARDS ONTO THE PAVEMENT. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT CAUSED ME TO BREAK A MOLAR IN HALF REQUIRING A CAP TO REPAIR IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL BLURRED VISION. I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER CORP. VIA THEIR INTERNET SITE ON 02/10/03. I DID NOT EVER SPEAK TO A CSR UNTIL 02/18/03. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER HAD REVIEWED MY COMPLAINT AND DETERMINED THAT THE INJURIES WERE NOT A DIRECT RESULT OF THE DEFECTIVE JACK AND REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WITH MY DENTAL BILLS. FURTHER MORE THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THEY COULD NOT EVEN REPLACE MY JACK. I AM AN ENGINEER BY PROFESSION AND THOUGHT THEY MIGHT WANT TO ANALYZE THE FAILURE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE, THEY DID NOT FEEL THAT IT WAS A MAJOR ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY INJURIES ONLY INVOLVED A TOOTH AND BLURRED VISION. THE NEXT TIME SOMEBODY MIGHT BE CRUSHED.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING , CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE SHOES AND DRUMS.*JB

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED,VEHICLES' STEERING WHEEL WILL TIGHTEN, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION 3 TIMES AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP ONCE, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXITS.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE IS A FUEL SMELL COMING THOUGH THE VENTS. THE FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING GASOLINE. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PH

I HAVE A PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH 47,000 MI. I'D ONLY HAD IT FOR 4 MOS. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ACT UP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLY ON IT'S WAY OUT SEEING AS CHRYSLER KNOWS NOT HOW TO MAKE A WORKING PRODUCT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO TRY TO PULL OUT ONTO A ROAD WHEN I AM NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT I AM GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO. WHEN I DO AND IT DOESN'T MOVE, I THEN HAVE TO HURRY UP AND GUN IT SO AS NOT TO GET HIT FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR THEN JERKS INTO GEAR AFTER REVING UP TO AROUND 50 IF I TAKE IT THAT FAR. I USUALLY DON'T BECAUSE THEN ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS SCREAMING. SHIFTING IS A PROBLEM. IT IS WELL KNOWN TO MOST CHRYSLER OWNERS THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, YET CHRYSLER DOES NOTHING TO UPGRADE OR FIX THE DEFECTS. HAD I KNOWN THIS INFORMATION BEFORE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR, I WOULD'VE BOUGHT A DIFFERENT MAKE VEHICLE.
