1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS WILL ONLY SHINE 45-50 FEET AHEAD OF VEHICLE ON LOW BEAM, DEALER HAS ADJUSTED LIGHTS, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.*AK. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THAT WAS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE, THE BULBS WERE REPLACED WITH LIGHTER ONES HOWEVER THE PROBLEM REMAINED.*JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE NOT WORKING, CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY FEEL ITS THE CLOCKSPRING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*JB

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS PRESENT, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY COULD SMELL THE GAS ALSO, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. I THEN BROUGHT THE VAN TO THE DEALER. AFTER HEARING ABOUT A RECALL ON THESES VANS BECAUSE OF A FUEL LINE SEAL PROBLEM, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER. THE DEALER ALSO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE GASOLINE ODOR WAS NOT PRESENT THAT DAY. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE RECALL REPAIR SINCE THE DEALER DID NOT DETECT A PROBLEM AND THE RECALL DID NOT INVOLVE 3.0 LITER ENGINES. SINCE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.*AK

CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK/ HORN DOESN'T BLOW, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. CONSUMER FEELS ITS THE CLOCK SPRING. *AK *YH

WHILE DRIVING AT 25MPH POWER STEERING BELT FELL OFF, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. CONTACTED DEALER, AND REPLACED BELT.*AK *TT

HAVE TAKEN CAR FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES TO DEALER BERTERA CHRYSLER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WHICH IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME I TRY TO GET IT FIX I EXPLAINED TO THE MECHENIC THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE VAN FOR REPAIR ON 10/18/00 I EXPLAINED TO THE MANAGER THE TRANSMISION WAS SLIPPING AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE BOTTON OF THE VAN, THERE RETURN ME THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANNY. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 12/29/00 I TOOK THE VAN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM TRANSMISSION SLIPPING THEY REPLIED OTHER THINGS WHERE WRONG WITH THE VAN AND CHARGE 53.00 FOR REPAIRS ON THE VAN AND SAID THEY ADJUST THE TRANNY, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS OF WHY MY VAN WOULD BANG INTO GEAR WHEN AT CELERATED SUPPOSE ONE MECHANIC TOOK VAN FOR DRIVE AND STILL NO PROBLEM . SO THEN I TOOK MY VAN BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON TRANSMISSION AND TOLD THE MECHENIC IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN ,THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND SMOKE FROM THE BOTTON OF THE VAN SO I POLITE ASK ASKED THE MANAGER TO PLEASE PUT IN A NEW ONE THAT THIS IS MY THIRD TIME COMING BACK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE REPLY WAS WE'LL TAKE ALOOK AT IT THEN AGAIN THEY ADJUSTED IT BUT NEVER OPENED UP THE TRANSMISSION TO LOOK INSIDE OF IT . NOW THE TRANSMISSIONS IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND THEN THEY DECIDE TO LOOK INSIDE OF IT AND FOUND BURNED OIL AND PIECES OF METAL IN FLUID AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT NOW THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED BY 1003 MILES . SO MY COMPLAINTS IS THAT THEY NEVER REALLY CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE INSIDE EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS THEY NEVER ANYTHING TO THE INSIDE OF THE TRANNY , THEY ADJUST BANDS ON TRANNY TILL WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW I CAN'T MAKE PAYMENTS TO THE BANK AND FIX THE VAN AT THE SAME TIME PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM AGAINST BERTERA CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP OR WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IN THESE SITUATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AVERY TIRED AND ANGRY COMSUMER ANGELICA JIMENEZ.*AK

CONSUMER RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE 00V-268 FOR THE FAULTY O-RINGS BUT IS UNABLE TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRS MADE BECAUSE THE DEALER CANNOT GET THE PARTS AND IS NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. NLM
