I HAVE OWNED 3 CHRYSLER VEHICLES. EACH ONE ALWAYS HAS ONE OF THE POWER WINDOWS THAT FAIL. I HAD A 1994 GRAND VOYAGER SE; THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED AND IT COST NEARLY $500 TO FIX DUE TO A BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC I HAVE A 1999 GRAND VOYAGER SE AND THE RIGHT SIDE POWERED WINDOW SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I AM A DISABLED VET AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY $500 TO MAKE A WINDOW WORK. THE DEALER I USE IS MILTON RUBEN IN AUGUSTA GEORGIA. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1997 GRAND VOYAGER WITH 48K MILES WITH A WHEEL CHAIR LIFT ON IT. EVEN WITH THE LOW MILEAGE, THE ENGINE GROWLS AND LACK PICK UP. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HOUSING SUDDENLLY CAME LOOSE AND IS DANGLING. I HATE TO ASK HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST.

DT: CALLER STATED THAT THIS WAS A CLOCK SPRING RECALL REPAIR. WHEN DEALER REPAIRED THE CLOCK SPRING THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT CENTERED BUT WAS AT THE 10 O'CLOCK POSITION. THE DEALER LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL SCRATCHED, GREASY AND WITH BLACK LINES AND MARKS ON IT. IT TOOK THE DEALER THREE HOURS TO CONPLETE THE REPAIRS ALTHOUGH THE RECALL LETTER STATED IT WOULD ONLY TAKE 45 MINUTES. DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE RECALL LETTER THAT CALLER GAVE THEM.*AK
