2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Complaints

THE SERPENTINE BELT COMES OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL, AND THE ALTERNATOR NOT TO WORK. THIS HAS OCCURRED OFF AND ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THIS FAILURE OCCURS IN MOTION WHEN THE STREETS ARE WET AND A BIT BUMPY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A WALL AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS FATALLY INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY MINIVAN HAS A BADLY CORRODED DRIVER SIDE STRUT TOWER THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS IS A PRODUCT FLOW YET WILL NOT AUTHORISE REPAIRS TO. THIS PLACES ALL OWNERS FAMILIES AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC AT GRAVE DANGER WHEN THIS TOWER. *TR COLLAPSES FOR THE VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING AND THE WHEEL FALLS OFF. I FEEL A RECALL IS IN HIGH ORDER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED.THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED ALREADY.ALL MINIVANS FROM 1996-2000 ARE AFFECTED. ALL MY CALLS HAVE FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. OWN UP TO YOUR PRODUCT FLAW CHYSLER AND DO THE RIGHT THING! YOU GOT GOVERNMENT BAIL OUT MONEY HOW ABOUT BAILING OUT YOUR CUSTOMERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC AT LARGE. I HOPE MY FAMILY OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO THIS PRODUCT DEFECT.

OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS - SINCE THE REPLACEMENT MY SERPENTINE BELT ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER HAS POPPED OFF 4 OR 5 TIMES. SINCE OUR LOCAL DEALER IS NO LONGER HERE I HAD TO PAY $93.21 TODAY TO HAVE THE BELT PUT BACK. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE BELT AND TENSIONER AND FOUND BOTH IN PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW CONDITION AND GOOD WORKING ORDER. HE COULD NOT FIND A REASON WHY IT WOULD COME OFF. EACH TIME IT HAS COME OFF WAS AFTER A RAIN. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT TO MANY OTHERS ALSO. MY FORMER DEALER'S MECHANICS ALSO COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS A QUICK AND PERMANENT SOLUTION SINCE ALL THE POWER CONTROLS SUCH AS STEERING ARE MANAGED BY THIS ONE BELT. ONCE OUT YOU NO LONGER HAVE ANY POWER ASSISTED STEERING. *TR UPDATED 06/30/11 *BF UPDATED 07/01/11

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER. THE ENGINE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED JULY 2009 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE GARAGE FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. LESS THAN ONE MONTH LATER, THE SERPENTINE BELT FAILED. ONE MONTH LATER, THE BELT COMPLETELY FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

I OWN A 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER SE 3.3L. THE DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT TOWER HAD SEVERE RUST ALMOST TO THE POINT OF RUSTING COMPLETELY THROUGH. VEHICLE HAS APPROX 146K MILES. I WAS FORCED TO PAY A LOCAL BODY SHOP TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE AND INSTALL A NEW STRUT TOWER CAP. *TR

DURING A VERY HEAVY RAIN, I HIT A BIG PUDDLE WHICH CAUSED THE SERPENTINE BELT TO COME OFF THE PULLEYS. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE RESULT IS NO POWER STEERING, NO ALTERNATOR TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND NO WATER PUMP TO COOL THE ENGINE. I DROVE IT UNTIL THE TEMP GAUGE SHOWED HOT AND THEN SHUT IT DOWN. NO MAJOR DAMAGE RESULTED. MECHANIC PUT BELT BACK ON FOR $15.00. 135K MILES ON VEHICLE AND IS VERY DEPENDABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER. WHILE DRIVING IN EXCESSIVE RAINY CONDITIONS, HE NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD POWER STEERING. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS AND THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 89000. UPDATED 12/07/09 *BF THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 12/09/09

THE STRUT TOWERS OF 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. IF THEY BREAK APART IT WILL LIKELY BREAK THROUGH THE HOOD OR WINDSHIELD CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND OR INJURIES WE WERE TOLD BY BLOOMINGTON CHRYSLER (THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) IT WOULD BE $1000.00 TO REPAIR. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE REPAIRED OVER 30 SIMILAR VEHICLES JUST THIS SUMMER 2009 WITH SAME PROBLEM. *TR
