1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

THERE WAS A RECALL MANY YEARS AGO IN GERMANY ON THE STARTER,ALSO HAVE A LETTER FROM THE CHRYSLER SHOP THE PART GET REPLACED ON WARRANTY THAT WAS MANY YEARS AGO,THERE NEVER HAD THE PART TO REPLACE IT. NOW I AM IN THE STATES ,IN WASHINGTON, AND THE RECALL PART FAILED ME. SECOND: MY HEADLIGHT HAVE A FILM HAZE,THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAN IT TAKE IT APART OR ANYTHING. WE WENT TO USED AUTO PART STORES EVERY LAST ONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I CANT SEE AT NIGHT,AND CAN COST ME AN EXTENT. THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. A NEW LIGHT WOULD COST $ 270.00 PLUS TAX PER LIGHT. IT IS ON BOTH LIGHTS. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CHRYSLER. I ALSO JUST READ ON YOUR WEB THERE MANY OTHER RECALLS I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT. WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME. *JB

THE SERPENTINE BELT ON MY 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER IN AUGUST 2004. IT HAS GONE BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE AFTER THAT MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THE BELT SLIPS WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN. THE DEALER REPLACED A MOUNT WHICH IS IN THE RECOMMENDED TSB BY CHRYSLER BUT TO NO AVAIL. TO THIS DATE IT SLIPPED ON ME 3 TIMES ALREADY AND ONCE I WAS IN DALLAS, TEXAS. I BELIVE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN AS MUCH YOU LOOSE ALL YOUR CONTROL WHEN THIS BELTS SLIPS.

WHILE HAVING A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED ON OUR 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER, WE WERE SHOWN THAT THE STRUT TOWER IS RUSTING AND CRACKED ON THE TOP. SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION BY OTHER MECHANICS SHOWS THAT THE RUSTING STARTED IN THE TOP PLATE AND WORKED ITS WAY DOWN TO THE SECOND PLATE, WHICH IS NOT AS BAD. THE COMMENT WE KEEP HEARING A LOT OF IS, " I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS." YET ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS WHO HAS THE DODGE VERSION, SAME YEAR, ALSO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING IF YOU HAVE HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH THESE VANS AND/OR IF THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THEM THAT IS JUST SHOWING UP NOW. *JB

DT: CALLER GOT RECALL WORK DONE ON CLOCK SPRING, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON BEFORE IT WAS FIXED, AND NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS OFF , AND THE ABS LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT WERE ON, AND NONE OF GAUGES WORKED. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. DEALER SAID THEY COULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET.*AK

DT: CONTACT WENT TO HAVE BRAKES CHECKED ON 8-3-05, JUST A ROUTINE CHECK, AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT LEFT FRONT CALIPER BOLTS WERE INCORRECT AND HAVE DAMAGED THE STEERING KNUCKLES. HE TOLD HER THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS SPINNING INSIDE THE KNUCKLES, WITHIN 7 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO, THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD. *AK

I OWN A 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT RECENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I DID SOME RESEARCH VIA THE INTERNET AND FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING PLUS OTHER RECALLS THAT WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED FOR THE VAN. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT IF THIS IS THE WAY THEY ARE GOING TO TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS PLUS I NO LONGER LIKE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF OTHER PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST. *NM
