MY 1992 CHRYSLER VOYAGER HAS BENDIX 10 ABS BRAKES AND ONCE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS OUT. OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER MADE CERTAIN THAT THE BOOSTER PUMP WAS BURNED OUT. WHILE THE PUMP WAS ALREADY REPLACED IN 2000 THEY SAID THE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY 1 PUMP PER VEHICLE!! AS I KNOW RECALL 96V-99 (CHRYSLER RECALL #685) REFERS TO A LIFETIME WARRANTY (FOR BOOSTER ELECTRICAL PUMP). SHORT LIFE, ISN'T IT? *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS VAN WITH 46000 MILES ON IT. ONE MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY "REBUILT" THE TRANSMISSION. AT 67,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WENT AGAIN, AND WE BOUGHT A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS INSTALLED. THE VAN RAN FINE UNTIL NOW, IT IS AT 90,000 MILES AND ONCE AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT! THIS IS SO UNFAIR AND UNSAFE. WE AS CUSTOMERS DESERVE BETTER! *TR

SMELL OF GAS AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MIN. LEAD TO A POP SOUND FROM UNDER VEHICLE. SMOKE FILLED THE INSIDE OF THE VAN AND AFTER I BROUGHT IT TO A STOP ON A MEDIAN THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES BEFORE I MANAGED TO EXIT. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE AND HAVING THE FIRE PUT OUT SOON ON WITH USE OF A FIRE EXTINGUISHER I NOTICED THE EVAP CANISTER HAD DROPPED ALL OF ITS CHARCOAL. POSSIBLE THAT GAS WAS BEING DIRECTED INTO THIS CANISTER AND WHEN IT POPPED THE FUMES AND GAS IGNITED FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *JB
