Purchased vehicle with 20,00 miles ONLY GOT TO PUT 50,000.Repairs cost more then price of vehicle.I am disabled, was to be mommy van. Can't tell you how many," Recall Request,," numbers were given. NO ONE DID A THING TO HELP. FCA voided Warranty without telling me. Told me to sell vehicle to someone else despite reporting with proof can go on fire. Fuel Rail unrepairable due to Recall.Meaning I was sold vehicle with Recalled part. Followed Warranty booklet, protocols. SO MUCH RUST MORE THEN UNDERCARRIAGE THROUGH VEHICLE. MECHANIC wrote," TOO DANGEROUS TOO REPAIR." DANGEROUS VEHICLE All I used it for was to get to medical appointments. You would think Happy to take my Disability money but do not care if I burn death in vehicle or child. Now just Stranded. Will never trust anything with Chrysler name on it.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER VOYAGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE SYSTEM SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY TREMENDOUS PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION.

SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER FAILURE WAS AN ISOLATED ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06E022000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS.

THE REAR BRAKES (BOTH) OF MY 2002 VOYAGER FAILED - WAS MAKING LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE, WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED IT DID NOT RELEASE THE BRAKE (THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR FEW MINUTES), MAKE LOUD NOISE WHILE BRAKING. THE DEALER TOLD ME ICE AND WATER GOT INSIDE THE BRAKE DRUMS AND FROZEN THE PADS, EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THERE IS SERVICE BULLETIN #05-003-05 WHICH EXACTLY DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. THE PLATE-REAR DRUM BRAKE (2), SHOE KIT, CYLINDER, FLUID, AND DRUMS WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF $627.16 INCLUDING LABOR AND TAXES. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SERIOUS AND BE A 'RECALL' SO THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 TO CLAIM REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR WORK. THE CHRYSLER AGENT TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR A LONG TIME THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ASSISTANCE. *JB
