1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME SPRING BOLT ATTACHED TO THE TIRE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND DID NOT PASS INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT WEATHER HAS CAUSED THE DEFECTS. *LA

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE FRONT STRUT TOWER WAS CRACK AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. THIS INFORMATION WAS PROVIDE BY CRAIG MOTHER MRS. DARLENE HENKEY. *NM

MY HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A HEADLIGHT SWITCH, PUT IN A NEW ONE, CHARGED ME AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THE COMPUTER, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. A THIRD VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SHOP SIMPLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. SO FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE REMOVED THE FUSES FROM THE HEADLIGHTS AND ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE DAY TIME. AS LONG AS THE FUSES ARE NOT IN AND I DO NOT TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN. OF COURSE HAVING A CAR YOU CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT IS A BIT OF A HINDRANCE. *JB
