THE VEHICLE HAD A FACTORY RE- MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION INSTALLED, WHICH IS NOW STICKING IN SECOND GEAR AND FREQUENTLY FAILS TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT HASN'T PROVIDED A REMEDY TO CORRECT IT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. *JB
FUEL RAIL LEAK. NHTSA RECALL 00V268000 DESCRIBES A FUEL RAIL LEAK RECALL THAT APPLIES TO 1996-2000 MINIVANS WITH 3.3 AND 3.8 ENGINES. I HAVE A 1990 GRAND VOYAGER 3.3L WHICH HAS DEVELOPED THE SAME LEAK ON THE FUEL RAIL CROSS-OVER TUBE. CHRYSLER DECLINES TO COVER THIS AS OUTSIDE THE RECALL DATES. DEALER QUOTES $768 FOR RAPAIR. REST OF VEHICLE HAS BEEN WORST PIECE OF JUNK EVER OWNED.
THERE IS A PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE ELECTRICAL OR FUEL SYSTEM IN MY 1990 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A SPEED FROM 35MPH ON UP TO 65MPH, MY VAN HAS A "HICCUP". IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE EITHER TURNS THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF OR STEPS HARD ON THE BRAKE. IT FEELS LIKE IT JERKS INSIDE BUT I CANNOT TELL IF IT JERKS ON OUTSIDE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVER TIME DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND NO PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FOUND BY THE AUTO MECHANIC. THEY HAVE EVEN DRIVEN THE VAN AND HAVE FELT THE PROBLEM. IT STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS AGO. IT WOULD USUALLY ONLY HAPPEN IN THE WARM WEATHER FROM JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER BUT THIS WINTER I HAVE EVEN NOTICED IT. IT HAS NOT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING YET. *AK
1990 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH THE 3.3 ENGINE, RUN THE VEHICLE 20 OR 30 MINUTES AND SHUT IT OFF LEAVE IT SIT 15 OR 20 MINUTES THEN START IT UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE IT DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT OUT OF LOW. IF I SHUT IT OFF AND START IT UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE 3 OR 4 TIMES IT WILL START WORKING. I ALSO HAVE HAD IT SHIFTING OK BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN OD AND THE TRANSMISSION KICKS OUT OF GEAR UNTIL IT GETS BACK DOWN TO 25, 30 MPH THEN IT SLAMS INTO LOW. *LA
WHILE DRIVING, THE LEFT TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. THE CONSUMER DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. RODE KING COURIER (DAYTON) T195 - 75R 14 MS, DOT#V6KARC1, 17608 11R. *AK *JB *NLM
I HAVE A 1990 GRAND VOYAGER MINIVAN THAT THAT HAS DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK ON THE 3.3 LITER V6. THE LEAK IS FROM THE SEAL ON THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE THAT GOES FROM THE FRONT HEAD TO THE REAR HEAD OF THE ENGINE. I DISCOVERED IT LEAKING FUEL AT A RATE OF SEVERAL DROPS PER SECOND. ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE, RECALL CAMPAIGN 00V268000 DESCRIBES THE FOLLOWING: ''DEFECT SUMMARY: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE. CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. CORRECTIVE SUMMARY: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. '' THE 00V268000 RECALL PRECISELY DESCRIBES THE FAILURE I AM EXPERIENCING ON THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE AND ENGINE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE 1990 MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE EARLIER YEARS WERE EXCLUDED? THE DEALER QUOTES A PRICE OF $768 FOR REPAIRS. FORTUNATELY I CAUGHT IT BEFORE A FIRE STARTED.

WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 4 TIMES; APPEARS A 6TH IS NOW NEEDED. TWO OF THE REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN "FREE" TO US BECAUSE THEY OCCURED IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR FROM INSTALLATION. THIS LATEST ONE LASTED JUST A LITTLE OVER 1 YEAR, WHICH MEANS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OURSELVES. THIS KNOWN ISSUE SHOULD BE FULLY COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IN FACT, I WANT REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL OF THE TRANSMISSIONS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE.*AK
FUEL RAIL LEAKAGE. NOTIFIED MANUFACTURER, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE UNLESS COST GOES TO CONSUMER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK
I HAVE HAD SEVEN (7) BLOWOUTS WITH THESE TIRES. ALL FAILED THE SAME WAY, SIDEWALL FAILURE. ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT NO ADDITIONAL COST BY THE SELLER OF THE TIRES (SEARS)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205/15 )
THIS IS 3 RD TRANS FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE, FOR WHICH I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON AND NOT BEING ABLE TO USE. AFTER TALKING TO OTHERS AND TRANSMISSION SHOP ALSO IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND SHOULD REPAIR AND REPLACE THESE UNITS AT A NO-CHARGE OR AT THE LEAST A PRO-RATED PER MILEAGE PRICE. THE LAST TRANSMISSION LASTED 60000 MILES AND I'M AN EASY DRIVER AND VERY MAINTENANCE MINDED....WHY ARE ALL THESE MANUFACTUERS ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THESE MONSTEROUS REPAIR COSTS WHEN THEY GAVE US FAULTY EQUIPMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE......I WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED!!!!!
THE A604 TRANSAXLE DESIGN IS FLAWED. THE LONGEST SERVICE INTERVAL I'VE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION WAS 72,600 MILES, IN THE ORIGINAL UNIT. THE 1ST REBUILD WENT ANOTHER 70,000 MILES, AND THEN THAT REBUILD ONLY LASTED 40,000+ MILES. I'M GETTING TIRED OF PAYING. *AK
RECLINING SEAT CONTROL FAILED, CAUSING DRIVER TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF CAR. SEAT FELL BACK. *AK
