1989 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF A 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. FOR THE MOST PART, WE HAVE LOVED THIS VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE SERPENTINE BELT FALLING OFF WHENEVER IT RAINS. WE MOVED TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, SINCE THIS MOVE, THE BELT HAS FALLEN OFF THREE TIMES. WE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BECAUSE WE LIVED IN AN AREA THAT DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH RAIN DURING THE YEAR. WE TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND ARE TOLD THIS SHOULDNT BE HAPPENING. OF COURSE, WE ARE CHARGED TO PUT THE BELT BACK ON THE CAR. WE AND OTHERS (OBVIOUSLY FROM THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS) BELIEVE THIS IS A CAR DEFECT THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD BE AWARE OF OR ARE AWARE BUT IGNORING THE PROBLEM. WE FOUND OUT THAT A KIT IS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FOR ONLY $500 WE CAN GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. IT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. ALSO, MANY PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THAT SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED IF THE BELT FALLS OFF SINCE THE POWER STEERING AND SEVERAL OTHER FUNCTIONS BECOME DISABLED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE INJURED OR WORSE FOR THE CAR COMPANY TO ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM. *TT

I HAVE A 1998 VOYAGER VAN AND IT HAS ALREADY HAD 2 TRANSMISSIONS (BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER) PUT IN IT! WAS THERE EVER A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS OR PARTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOR THAT YEAR? THIS IS NOT RIGHT! TWO NEW TRANS-SENSORS WERE JUST PUT ON...IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING BUT NOT CORRECTLY. I HAVE 3 SMALL BOYS AND AM ON MY OWN. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *AK

AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES AND PARKING, A VALVE UNDER THE CAR STARTS DUMPING FUEL ON THE GROUND.IF LEFT ALONE, THE ENTIRE TANK WILL DRAIN. ONLY RESTARTING THE CAR, SHIFTING FORWARD AND REVERSE WILL IT STOP.
