Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

98 VOYAGER EXPRESSO 3.3 ENGINE. DOORS LOCK AT RANDOM, WHEN PUT IN GEAR, WHEN PUT IN PARK, WHILE KEYS IN CAR, WITH CAR RUNNING, THE 15MPH IS TOTALLY IRRELEVENT IN THIS VAN. IT ALSO OVER HEATS EVEN IN WINTER, AND ALL THE LIGHTS BLINK ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS WELL AS THE HOUSING FOR AC, DEFROST, REAR WIPER, ETC. HAVE HAD TO LOCAL DEALER WHO CLAIMS THERE ARE NO RECALLS AT ALL ON THIS VAN. I HAVE JUST PRINTED OFF 3 PAGES OF SAFETY ISSUES, AND THE ONES I HAVE LISTED ARE VERY IMPORTANT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON IN EXCESS OF 4 YEARS, AND IT ISNT GETTING ANY BETTER. *TR

I OWN A 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER AND ON THIS MIN VAN THE WIPERS ACT VERY ERRATIC. THEY WORK WHEN THEY WANT. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T SHUT OFF AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL OR STOP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR VIEW. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SERPENTINE BELTS POPPING OFF THE DRIVE LINE LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES AND COMPLETELY DISABLES THE VEHICLE. I ALSO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE REAR SHOCKS. THE BOLTS COME LOOSE AND DETACHES THE REAR SHICK FROM THE VAN LEAVING IT QUITE UNCONTROLLABLE WHILE DRIVING. ALL 3 ISSUES HAPPENS ON MANY OCCASIONS. ALL 4 OF THESE DEFECTS MAKE THIS VAN VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OR TRAVEL WITH. CURRENTLY MY VAN IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE OWNED THE VAN FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND IN 5 YEARS I HAVE BLOWN 3 TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
