1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

DRIVING IN RAIN CAUSES SERP. BELT TO SLIP OFF HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES CAUSING STEERING TO GO OUT CAR TO OVERHEAT AND BATTERY TO GO DEAD. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE 2 TIME HAD THE WORK DONE AS DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN ON MAY 18TH. ON JUNE 5TH WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN IT HAPPENED AGAIN CAUSING STEERING TO GO OUT AND VAN OVERHEATED. HAD TO HAVE THE BRACKET REPLACED AS DESCRIBED IN THE BULLETIN AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CHYSLER BUT TO THEM IT WASN'T A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY ISSUE. I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO NOW WE FOLLOWED THE SERVICE PROCEDURE AND THE PROBLEM STILL IS NOT CORRECTED. THE DATE BELOW IS THE LATEST OF THREE DATES THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH VEHICLE THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHO DETERMINED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD SPRUNG A LEAK. THE WATER AND COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION DESTROYING IT. *AK *NM

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER PRESSED THE BORN BUTTON IT WOULD NOT WORK. THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK *NM

CONSUMER STATED THAT AIR BAGS AND HORN DID NOT WORK. SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS. BUT, CONSUMER DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE. ALSO, REAR VIEW MIRROR DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. *AK

DEALERSHIP CONTACTED THE CONSUMER TO INFORM HIM THAT THE SEAT BELT RECALL 02V076000 AND AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING RECALL 02V293000 REPAIRS WERE ALREADY PERFORMED. THEN, CONSUMER NEVER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRS PERFORMED. MANUFACTURER WILL BE CONTACTED. *AK

I ALSO HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. FIRST IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME FOR IT TO SHIFT OUT OF 1ST TO 2ND. THEN IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME FOR REVERSE TO KICK IN. NOW ITS NOT WORKING PERIOD. *LA

1997 VOYAGER STAHLS OFTEN. COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT RED LIGHT, ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLS. NO WARNING AND NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED. WE START THE VAN UP AGAIN AND CONTINUE ON. ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY WE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF THIS VAN STALLING. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE ON. NEED HELP, WHAT IS CAUSING THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION?

ON MY 1997 PLYMOUTH MINI VAN A CRACK HAS OCCURED ON THE LEFT FRONT STRUT TOWER. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE ON THE VAN THAT HAS RUSTED. I HAVE HAD THE VAN IN FOR SERVICE SERVERAL TIMES FOR FRONT END ALIGNMENTS AND THE LAST TIME FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION. IT TOOK MY HUSBAND POINTING THISOUT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY NOTICED IT. THEY IMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN! BUT DO NOT WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THAT MY BROTHERS 1998 MINIVAN HAS THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. I CANT BELIEVE THAT WE ARE THE ONLY TWO? WHEN I CHECKED YOUR SITE OTHER ARE LISTED FOR COSMETIC RUST IN THIS LOCATION AND CLUNKING SOUNDS? *AK

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS OF THE CLOCKSPRING RECALL. *PH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE COCKSPRING WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IN ORDER TO DIGNOSE THE PROBLE THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING AND REPL;ACED IT. THE CONSUMER REQUEST RIMBURSEMENT FOR THE EXPENSES PAID TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *NM

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE IN 1997 FROM A FRIEND. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HORN STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE REPLAED THE FUSES. I HAVE CHECKED ALL THE WIRES. I HAVE REPLACED THE HORN. THEIR IS NOTHING WRONG. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. WHAT DO I DO. I DONT THINK THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY IF THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG IS IT?*AK
