1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SLIDE INTO THE INTERSECTION. SHE WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER. INITIALLY THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE CONTACT IS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. THE VIN IS UNAVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND THEN SHIFT AND STICKS IN FIRST UNDER 40 MPH. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS MAINLY WITH IGNITION. IGNITION HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES.

BRAKES CONTINUED TO FAIL EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED.*AK

1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE PAINT. ALL THE VANS MADE IN THAT YEAR AND 1994 ARE PEELING AND RUSTING IN THE SAME PLACES. I FEEL THE COMPANY NEGLECTED TO RECALL THESE VANS TO BE REPAINTED TO SAVE THEM MONEY. MY VAN IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE PROPERTY REPAINTED UP TO STANDARD. *NM

THE FRONT/REAR BRAKES WORE OUT PREMATURELY. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS HIT AT 35 MPH ON FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. UPON IMPACT, FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK SO IT WOULDN'T STALL. *NM THE ENGINE EMITTED SMOKE. *TC

I CURRENTLY OWN A 1993 CHRSYLER VOYAGER WITH 94,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS [XXX]. OVER THE SPAN OF 7 YEARS (FROM 1995-2002) THERE WERE ALMOST 6 ACCIDENTS DURING THIS PERIOD. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS INOPERATIVE. IN THESE INSTANTS THE ABS LIGHT WOULD SUDDENLY COME ON AND ULTIMATELY THE BRAKE WOULD LOCK-UP, AND WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE DURING THESE INCIDENTS IT WOULD NOT SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. *AK DURING THIS PERIOD, I HAVE INFORMED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THEY HAVE CHANGE THE COMPUTER COMPONENT AND ITS PARTS SEVERAL TIMES. HOWEVER, THE ABS IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. RECENTLY THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS ABS DID NOT WORK WHEN PRESS UPON IT. THEN THE LIGHT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS AND THEN THE BRAKE WORKED NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THIS ABS SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN THE ABS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF AND I AM AFRAID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THE ABS FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM THIS MANUFACTURER? WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE NOW THAT THE 10YEARS/100,000 MILES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED? WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY DOES THE MANUFACTURER/DEALERSHIP HAVE AFTER HAVING GONE THERE SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS? CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR ME TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY DISENGAGED AND FELL OFF. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL 00V305000. *AK

AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ABS PUMP AND MOTOR AS STATED IN THE ABS RECALL 96V0999000 THE PARTS DIDN'T WORK. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO PLUG THE RELAY IN PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TERMINAL. *AK
