1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

IN 1999, INTERIOR LIGHTS FAILED. 10/2001 HORN FAILED, AND AIRBAG LIGHTS GO ON/OFF :APPARENLTY IT IS THE MODULAR THAT CONTROL ALL THESE ITEMS AND MORE SUCH AS MILEGE, ETC. CALLED DEALER. SAID CHRYSLER HAS RECALL ON AIRBAG BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. DEALER REPLACED CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY.*AK

HORN STARTED TO BLOW ON ITS OWN, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING, AND CRUISE CONTROL WAS INOPERATIVE; DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER T RECALL. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

I FOUND THE PLYMOUTH TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITIN NUMBERS REGARDING WIPER PROBLEMS JUST LIKE MINE. STARTING W/083695REVA, 081597, 081597A, 083198. THESE ALL DESCRIBE THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD PRIOR TO A TOTAL FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS W/THE EXCEPTION OF CLEANING WHERE IT WILL MAKE TWO PASSES, AND NO MORE. IF I WANT TO USE THE WIPERS FOR ANYTHING, I CAN ONLY DO SO BY USING THE WASHER OPTION. THIS IS AN UPDATE TO MY INFORMATION I SUBMITTED ON 10/10/2001. THANK YOU. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. BEFORE THEY STOPPED WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD START MOVING WHEN CONSUMER DID NOT EVEN TURN SWITCH ON. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

ELECTRONIC CONTOL UNIT IS BAD. THIS CONTROLLS THE WIPERS AS WELL AS MANY OTHER THINGS. ONLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT AT THIS TIME. I THOUGHT WE WOULD CRASH INTO SOME WHEN WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND A BIG RAINSTORM HIT. WE COULD'NT SEE ANYTHING, IT WAS VERY SCARRY. DEALER ESTIMATES $579.00 FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. CHRYSLER SAID "TOO BAD" "NOT OUR PROBLEM". ALSO, THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD. I HAD THAT CHECKED @ THE DEALER, WHO SAID IT COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED ANY FURTHER W/O RISK OF THE BRAKES LOCKING UP. THEY ALSO MENTIONED, THE CABLE WAS FINE, IT WAS NOT STRETCHED AND DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN WE USE THE AC SYSTEM, IT GIVES OFF A BAD SMELL. I THINK THERE IS SOME FILTER IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE, BUT THEY STATE AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE INTERIOR SMELL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN REPLACED. IN OTHERWORDS, IT WILL NOT MAKE THE SMELL GO AWAY. THE LUGAGE RACK DOES NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE WHEN ADJUSTED. THE LOCKS WILL NOT WORK TO HOLD THE ADJUSTABLE BARS IN PLACE. THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATES FAR TOO QUICKLY FROM THE STEERING COLUMN BUTTONS. IT ALSO DOES NOT DISSENGAGE WHEN I TRY TO USE THE BUTTONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PATIENCE! :O)

96 V 006 000/ENGINE: LOSS OF OIL FROM CYLINDER HEAD OIL GALLEY PLUG. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. ASKING NHTSA HELP IN THIS MATTER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING BLOWING 2 HOLES THROUGH THE CASING OF THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PIN CALLED A SPIDER GEAR PIN IN THE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY HAD BROKE JAMMING THE GEARS AND CAUSING THE FAILURE. NLM

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON CHILD SEAT BELT STRAPS BUT THE DEALER CLEANED THE STRAP INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT. THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE BUT THE CONSUMER STATES THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE AND HE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE. *YH

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS INTERMITENT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT 2 WEEKS AGO IT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I SAW ON TV THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK SPRING INT THE 1996 VOYAGERS AND COULD BE HARMFUL IF THE BAG ACCIDENTLY WENT OFF OR WORSE DIDN'T GO OFF IN A CRASH. PLEASE PUSH A RECALL! THE WIPER BLADES HAVE COME ON WITHOUT ACTIVATION SINCE NEW. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH ONCE BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHENEVER I TOOK IT BACK UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THEY COME ON FREQUENTLY AND IT BECOMES DISTRACTING TO THE POINT THAT IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES 3/4 FULL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE LOW FUEL LITE COMES ON WHEN THERE IS STILL 5-6 GALLONS IN THE TANK. THIS WAS REPORTED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. NOW IT'S IN THE TECH BULLETINS AND I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON 3 OF THE 4 DOORS BY CHRYSLER. THE DRIVERS DOOR TWICE, AND SLIDING DOOR TWICE. ONCE WE COULDN'T GET OUT THE SLIDING DOOR. THE IGNITION MODULE WENT BAD THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I PARKED AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START SO I HAD IT TOWED TO HOFFMAN CHRYSLER IN HAGERSTOWN, MD. THEY TROUBLESHOT IT TO THE MODULE NO HAVING A GROUND. THE WARNING CODE INDICATION THE AUTO SHUTDOWN CIRCUITRY WAS ACTIVATED. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH?*AK
