1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY AFTER A SUDDEN BIG NOISE CAUSED BY THE EXPLOSION FROM INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A BIG HOLE FROM UNDERNEATH. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK AND VEHICLE IS NOW NON-DRIVEABLE.*AK

RECALL COMPONENT FUEL PUMP MODULE(99V-216) REPAIR COMPLETED AND FAILED AGAIN. YH

WHEN TURNING ON LEFT SIGNAL FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON. SOMETIMES REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL ALSO COME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ABOUT 5 TIMES. EACH TIME THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD FIXED IT, BUT PROBLEM REOCCURRED. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMING ON, IT WILL DISTRACT THE DRIVER. *AK *ML

CONSUMER WANTS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR RECALL REPAIRS 99V-216 OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE SEAL AND NUT THAT FAILED PRIOR TO NOTICE, MANUFACTURER IS DECLINING REQUEST BECAUSE THEY FEEL THE VEHICLE HAS NOT MET THE REQUIRED CONDITIONS OF THE RECALL. NLM

WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON BY THEMSELVES, (THEY HAVE SINCE I BOUGHT THE VAN) AND FRONT INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER. TODAY THE SWITCHES BEGAN TO SMOKE. *AK

MY ENGINE HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS, AND EVERY TIME THEY "FIX" IT, SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. IT IS STILL SPUTTERING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN EVEN AFTER I SPENT 650.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED A FEW WEEKS AGO. NOW, YESTERDAY THEY DID YET ANOTHER FUEL SYSTEM RECALL, AND TODAY (4/15/00) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS SPUTTERING AGAIN. I AM SICK OF SINKING MONEY INTO THIS VAN AND IT IS NOT EVEN PAID FOR. ALSO, THE NUMBER OF FUEL SYSTEM AND ENGINE RECALLS THEY HAVE HAD IS DANGEROUS. MOST OF THEIR RECALLS HAVE HAD TO DO WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE VAN CATCHING FIRE. I HATE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY CHILDREN WHILE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. THEY NEED DESPERATELY TO PUT OUT A RECALL ON THE HEAD GASKET LEAKING OIL. I HAD TO HAVE A $1,000.00 HEAD GASKET JOB AT 60,000. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I THINK IT WAS DUE TO IMPROPER REPAIR OF THE OIL GALLEY PLUG RECALL, BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NOT RELATED, EVEN THOUGH IN THE RECALL NOTICE IT STATES THAT "ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD OIL GALLEY PLUG DOES NOT SEAL PROPERLY AND ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD OIL IS NOT ADEQUATELY RETAINED. INADEQUATE SEALING AND RETENTION OF THE PLUG CAN RESULT IN OIL LEAKAGE..." HOW CAN THEY SAY MY VAN LEAKING OIL FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS NOT RELATED? PLEASE RESPOND. I NEED SOME HELP ON THIS MATTER. *AK

WHEN THE LEFT SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON, AND DO NOT STOP UNTIL THE SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED AND TURNED BACK OFF. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK
