1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager Heating & air conditioning Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the heating or air-conditioning system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Heating & air conditioning reportsComplaints 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.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE ABS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES TO DATE AND IS NOW BEGINNING TO FAIL ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NUMERSOUS REPAIRS TO THE A/C SYSTEM. THEW FIRST WAS IN 1996 ($472). THE SECOND IN 1998 ($850). THE THIRD ALSO IN 1998 ($286). THE FOURTH AGAIN IN 1998 ($673). THE FIFTH IN 1999 ($178). THE SIXTH IN 2000 ($688). SO, TO DATE, I HAVE SPENT OVER $3000.00 HAVING THE A/C REPAIRED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FREQUENCY OF REPAIRS AND THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THESE REPAIRS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. TO SUMMARIZE, I HAVE HAD FREQUENT AND EXCESSIVE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE ABS AND A/C SYSTEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION.

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD TO ADD FREON ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS. WE HAVE HAD TO ADD FREON TO THE SYSTEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE 8/98, WHICH IS EXCESSIVE BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS GENERALLY ONLY USED DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. EARLIER AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CHECKS COULD NOT DETECT WHERE THE LEAK WAS OCCURING. A RECENT CHECK IN APRIL RESULTED IN A DIAGNOSIS OF AN EVAPORATOR PROBLEM. THE FIRESTONE REPAIR SHOP MANAGER STATED THAT AIR CONDITIONER PROBLEMS WERE COMMON FOR THE PLYMOUTH/CHRYSLER MINIVANS. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
