1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

TWO MONTHS AGO, I CONTACTED CHYRSLER ABOUT THE MIDDLE BENCH SEAT BELT, PASSENGER SIDE, COMING UNLATCHED. THEY INFORMED ME TO GO A DEALERSHIP, OF THEIR CHOICE, AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, WHICH I DID. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF WAITING, I WAS TOLD THAT ALL SEAT BELTS MET SAFETY COMPLIANCE. THREE AND A HALF WEEKS AGO, I HAD TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP FROM 55MPH (SOMEONE TURNED OUT IN FRONT OF ME) AND MY 3 1/2 YEAR OLD SON CAME FLYING OUT OF HIS HIGH BACK BOOSTER SEAT BECAUSE THE SEATBELT CAME UNLATCHED. I HAVE SINCE, TRIED TO LATCH THE SEAT BELT AND IT WILL NOT STAY LATCHED. I TOOK MY VAN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, 7/12/01, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS IN DEED NOT LATCHING AND WOULD ORDER A NEW PART TO REPLACE IT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I WOULD NOT ONLY HAVE TO PAY FOR INSTALLATION OF THE NEW PART, BUT ALSO PAY FOR THE PART AS WELL. I WAS ALSO GIVEN THE "RUN AROUND" FROM CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT THE DEFECT WARRANTY WAS ONLY FOR 36000 MILES OR THREE YEARS. I FEEL AS THOUGH IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE COVERED AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING BECASUE IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO WEAR A SEAT BELT. NOT TO MENTION, I COULD HAVE LOST MY CHILD IF I HAD HIT THAT CAR OR HAD BEEN HIT BY SOMEONE ELSE, WHEN I WAS TOLD JUST TWO MONTHS PRIOR THAT ALL SEAT BELTS WERE IN SAFETY COMPLIANCE.*AK

IBOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBURAURY. I BROUGHT IT BACK IN 3 DAYS WITH THE THE VAN MAKING A NOISE IN IT THEY REPLACED THE SERPENTENE BELT. I NO LONGE HERD THE NOISE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD FIX THE A/C I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK IN TO FIX IT. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED ND IT ONLY WORKED FOR THE DRIVE HALF WAY HOME. I THEN BROUGHT IT BACK FOR FOUR DAYS WHILE THEYTOOK APARRT THE DASH BOARD AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE A/C WORKED AND IT DID BUT I TURNED OFF DUE TO LITTLE GAS IN THE TANK. THE NEXT TIME I USED IT WAS IN APRIL TO GO TO THE BEACH WTH FRIENDS. IT WORKED GOING UP THERE AND THEN ON THE WAY BACK IT WAS NOT WORKING AND MY VAN OVER HEATED. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO THEM AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THEY THEN RIGGED A FUSE TO THE CLUTCH TO KEEP THE FAN ON AT ALL TIMES SO IT WOULD NOT OVER HEAT. I FELT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME FR IT TO BE REPAIRED FOR THIS TIME IT WAS AFTER THE 30 DAY WARRANTY SO THERE FOR I WAS WAITING TO SEE IF I COULD GET MONEY TOGETHER TO FIX IT. I THEN STATED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT OVER HEATING SO I CALLED THEM AFTE ANOTHER MECHANICLOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS A FIRE WAITING TOHAPPEN AND THINGS WERE NOT PUT IN CORRECTLY, HE EVEN TOLD THEM AND THY TOLD HIM TO TELL ME TO MAKE AN APPT. SO I CALLED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT GET IT UNTIL WED. I EXPLAINED I HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN AND THAT IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD. I THEN ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN TO HAVE HIM LOOK ATT IT AN HE SAID NO IT WOULD BE WED. I TRIED TO HAVE THEM LOK AND SEE IF THEY COULD COME UP WITH A GAME PLAN. I THEN CALLED THEM YESTEDAY AND HE SAID I REFUSEDTO BRING IT INAND THAT IS NOT TE CASE.
