1969 Plymouth C Body Engine Problems

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

I SUPPOSEDLY HAD A GASKET PUT ON MY VEHICLE BUT I STILL HAVE A WATER LEAK. I SEE THERE WERE RECALLS ON HEADS OR GASKETS. I ALSO HAD BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON MY CAR WHICH I STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH . I HAVE PAID OVER$400 TO GET THAT GASKET PUT ON. WHEN I USE MY AIR CONDITIONER THE POWER OF MY ENGINE WEAKENS AND I HEAR VALVES RATTLING. I DO NOT KNOW THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EVERY GET THESE THINGS FIX WHEN THERE WERE A RECALL FOR THEM OR NOT. I ALSO HAD TO PUT A TRANSMISSION SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER FOR THIS VEHICLE. I THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR. BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE RECALL OF THE VEHICLE. I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTORE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WHERE I TOOK MY CAR TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RECALL ON MY BRAKES BUT I DO NOT THINK THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT. THEN I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED WORK FOR THE STARTLING AND POWER OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AFTER ONE WEEK IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE GASKET. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEN I NEEDED THAT TRANSMISSION SENSOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR NEVER STOPPED DRIPPING WATER. I DO NOT KNOW EXACT DATE. I STILL HEAR THE ROARING SOUND WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES. *JB

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE ALL NHTSA ISSUED SAFETY RECALLS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE SERVICE REPAIR CENTER MANAGER. STATED THEY ONLY APPLIED TO CERTAIN NEON'S NOT ALL OF THE 2000'S. I HAVE YET AS OF THIS DATE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH NHTSA RECALL ID#99V043000, #99V114000 NOR HAVE I EVER RECEIVED THE ADDENDUM REFERRED TO IN NHTSA RECALL ID #00V366000. IN RECOGNITION OF THE RECENT PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED W/MY VEHICLE, OVERHEATING, INOPERABLE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, HORN & AIRBAG SYSTEM AND MY HAVING ALSO EXPERIENCED BRAKE PROBLEMS, I FEEL THESE RECALLS ARE ESSENTIAL. HOWEVER, THEY ARE GOING UNRECOGNIZED BY ANNAPOLIS TATE DODGE. *NLM
