PLYMOUTH Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. WHILE CLOSING THE LIFT GATE, THE LIFT BAR FAILED AND SHATTERED THE REAR WINDOW. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CUTS AND BRUISES ON HIS HANDS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHOCK TOWERS HAVE ALL RUSTED. IT IS THE ONLY AREA ON THE VEHICLE THAT HAS RUST DAMAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING, EVEN THOUGH HE HAS SPENT $1,000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 84,942 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

EVERYTIME IT RAINS AND I RUN OVER A PUDDLE, THE BELT COMES OFF AND THE VAN BECOMES NOT DRIVABLE. I CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL AND THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTS TO FLASH AND THE VAN GOES DEAD. I HAVE TO PAY $50 {NOT INCLUDING TOWING} TO GET IT FIXED EVERYTIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT ISN'T A DEFECT. IT WILL JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET OR FREEWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS. IT'S VERY COSTLY AND HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS BE OVERLOOKED? I GET SCARED EVERYTIME IT RAINS. *TR

MY 1995 VOYAGER WAS SUPPOSEDLY SERVICED FOR NHTSA RECALL 99V113000 AND MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 818/AIRBAG SYSTEM WIRING ON SEPTEMBER 2, 1999. AT THAT TIME THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. WHAT WAS DONE AT THAT TIME I DO NOT KNOW. IN FEBRUARY, 2007, I WAS DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM WITH THE REAR WIPER TURNED ON. I PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT TIME. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON. I SUBSEQUENTLY NOTICED THE REAR WIPER NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. LATER I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT GOING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON YOUR CARS. THAT WAS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT RECALL 99V113000. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER WHO ALSO INFORMED ME I MUST PAY TO HAVE THE SYSTEM DIAGNOSED AND PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS IF THEY DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO THE RECALL CONDITIONS. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE THAT OCCURRED WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL AND CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME.
