1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE SUFFERED FROM INTERMITTENT OPERATION SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. RECENTLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE IN THE RAIN. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS (WE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT STATE) FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR VISITS. PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN RECTIFIED.. *AK

TRANSMISSION GEAR WORE OUT. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. DEALER ADVISED CONSUMER THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH SAME MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR. *AK *ML

WINDSHIELD WIPERS: INJURY WAS TO MY INFANT SON. I HAD PLACED HIM IN HIS CARRIER, NEXT TO THE VAN, SO I COULD UNLOCK THE DOOR....THERE WAS ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD BECUASE WE DID NOT HAVE A GARAGE IN NC. AS I OPENED THE SLIDING DOOR, THE WIPERS WENT INTO OPERATION, SLINGING ICE ONTO MY BABY WHO WAS IN HIS SEAT ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE KEYS WERE NOT EVEN IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE HAD AND CONTINUE TO STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS, AND I ADDRESSED THE DEALER AND CHYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE WILLING TO REMEDY THE WIPER PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES ( AT LEAST 4) AND IT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. AS FOR THE ENGINE, IT IS A FIRE HAZARD IN ITSELF....I CONTINUE TO HAVE "CHECK ENGINE" PROBLEMS AT WHICH POINT I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED FOR FEAR OF DRIVING IT. ITS BEEN HESITATING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON (A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM), THEN A FEWW WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN (THEY SAID IT WAS HESITATING BECAUSE IT NEEDS A TUNE-UP.). I HAD ALL THAT DONE, TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT 1500.00 AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN, IT IS HESITATING, SPUTTERING, AND RUNNING TERRIBLE AGAIN. WONDER WHAT THEY WILL SAY IS GOING TO "FIX" IT THIS TIME? IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT CANNOT BE FIXED....THEY NEED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.....THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SERVICE BULLETINS ON IT. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE ENGINE. *AK

RECALL # 99V216000 DAIMLERCHRYSLER /FUEL PUMP; VAN HAS BEEN SERVICED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN TWICE. THE VAN WAS SERVICED FIRST RIGHT AFTER MEMORIAL DAY, AND SERVICED AGAIN ABOUT 4 OR 5 DAYS LATER. FUEL CONTINUES TO LEAK FROM THE VAN. ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH ABS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *AK *ML

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, A FIRE BEGAN IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, CLAIM 46-0310-461. *SLC

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM PRIOR TO RECALL NOTIFICATION CAUSING OVERHEATING AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION. *MJS (96V-006)

VEHICLE NEEDED FUEL TANK STRAPS. UNABLE TO REPAIR VEHICLE PROPERLY BECAUSE DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE PARTS WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. SEEKING HELP FROM NHTSA IN THIS MATTER. *AK

BRACKET BOLT CAME OFF GAS TANK, DROPPING THE GAS TANK AND BRACKET TO THE GROUND. *AK

HORN WOULD STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY, IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY WITHOUT A WARNING. *AK

I HAD CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM WHILE VEHICLE WAS ON EXTENDED WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD THAT AIR BAG FAILURES WERE NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED COVERAGE NOR COVERED BY MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF NTSA ISSUES. I NOW DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I CONSIDER UNSAFE TO BE IN BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS. ISN'T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE NTSA SHOULD FORCE THE MANUFACTURE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR??? *AK
