ABS HYDRAULIC ACCUATOR PUMP FAILED AGAIN. WAS REPAIRED FOR FREE IN 1999. I PAID FOR THE ACCUMALOTOR, WHICH FAILS DUE TO THE LEAKY BRAKE PUMP. CHRYSLER IS DELAYING OR DENYING REPAIR ON LIFETIME WARRANTY DUE TO RECALL.
BRAKES HAVE NO POWER ASSIST DUE TO ABS PUMP FAILURE, AS DIAGNOSED BY PUTNAM CHRYSLER ON 3/29/13. DEALER CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING RECALL 685. PART WAS SAID TO BE ON BACK ORDER. OWNER HAS CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL. LATEST REPORT (11/7/13) FROM CHRYSLER IS THAT THE PART WAS SENT TO DEALER AND MESSAGE LEFT FOR OWNER AT SOME UNRECOGNIZED PHONE NUMBER. LATEST REPORT FROM DEALER, ALSO 11/7/13, IS THAT REPAIR HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, WHICH IS NOT CORRECT. DEALER REP WAS TO RESEARCH AND CALL OWNER BACK. NO CALL BACK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN HIS VEHICLE. HE HAS TO USE ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO GET THEM TO WORK. IN ADDITION, THE ABS PUMP IS RUNNING AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE ABS LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE REAR WIPER ON THE REAR HATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES AT THE COST OF $350. THE WIPER CURRENTLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS FALLING OFF THE HINGES AND THE DOOR WAS REPAIRED ONCE BEFORE WITH A USED DOOR. THE DOOR CURRENTLY NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AGAIN. AT 81,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SHIFT BUMP BEHAVIOR; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 151,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED THREE TIMES ON 4/15/08. THE VEHICLE IS A PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER, 1993. I ALMOST HIT A CAR THAT WAS TURNING IN FRONT OF ME. THEN THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I BARELY MADE IT HOME WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING AND PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I WENT OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC NEARBY, THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THE BRAKES WERE MUSHY UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE BYERS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW HAS THE CAR AND IS CLAIMING THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE ABS UNTIL THEY CAN. I DO NOT WANT TO KILL MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE WITH A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT MAY FAIL AT ANY TIME. *TR

APPROXIMATELY TEN YEARS AGO, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 96V099000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK)AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER 685.

THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER AGREED WITH THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD HONOR WHAT IS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. IT WAS NOTICED THAT NHTSA'S RECALL NOTICE SLIGHTLY DIFFERED FROM THE MANUFACTURER'S NOTICE CONCERNING THE SERVICES THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS, DESPITE USING EXTREME FORCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT, HOWEVER, THE ABS LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING ANTILOCK BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 96V099000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 155,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE DUAL FUNCTION PRESSURE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS APART OF THE ABS AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL.

4TH 1993 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER SE TRANSMISSION. NO WARNING BEFORE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAS 1ST GEAR TO ABOUT 15 MPH AND THEN SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. NO REVERSE NO NOTHING. VAN IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE WHILE I DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS GIANT BOAT ANCHOR. *JB
I OWN A 1993 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER LE 3.3L V6 THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY AFTER THE ENGINE HAS REACHED OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND WHILE OF EITHER APPLY THE BRAKES OR SITTING AT A DEAD STOP. SEVERAL MECHANIC SHOPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OR SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS. AFTER DOING RESEARCH INTO THIS MATTER, I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER OWNERS HAVE HAD THESE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND VARIOUS SENSORS AS WELL. THIS IS A HAZARD NOT ONLY TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, BUT TO ALL OTHER DRIVERS THAT MAY BE ON THE ROAD AND AROUND MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. WITH THE NUMBER OF REPORTS THAT I HAVE SEEN, I THINK THAT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER SHOULD CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM, ISSUE A RECALL, AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR POSSIBLE KILLED. *JB
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE AT ALL RESULTING IN AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. AS A RESULT, CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION NOTIFIED. *LA
THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE BECAME UNFASTENED WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ( RECALL NO.#97V148000 SEAT BELT SYSTEM ) BUT THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB *NM
MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING, WITHIN SECONDS, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. THE DEALER FIXED AT NO CHARGE, ALTHOUGH I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING. TODAY HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MY 4 CHILDREN, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND THE BRAKES WERE GONE AGAIN. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 1999, THE ABS SYSTEM WAS REPLACED ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. EACH TIME WITH THE GUARANTEE THAT IT WAS FIXED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED? THE DEATH OF MY CHILDREN AND I? I PURCHASED THIS MINI VAN FOR THE REASON OF SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN QUITE A BIT. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE. TO ADD TO THE DILEMMA, I AM CURRENTLY RAISING MY CHILDREN ALONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY HUSBAND IS OVERSEAS AT WAR. WITH THE ADDED STRESS OF MY HUSBAND BEING AWAY, I REALLY FEEL THE BURDEN WITH MY MINI VAN IS EXTEMELY UNCALLED FOR. I CAN NO LONGER DO THE SIMPLE TASKS OF GOING TO THE STORE WITHOUT FEELING FEAR THAT MY VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT STOP. I AM JUST TRYING TO GET BY IN A SAFE MANNER WHILE MY HUSBAND IS AWAY. AND THIS EXPENSIVE VEHICLE MADE BY CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH HAS FAILED TO DO THIS FOR ME. YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE IS EXPECTED!

COMPUTER CONTROLS (SINGLE BOARD ENGINE CONTROLLER - SBEC) WENT BAD WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON INTERSTATE ON A TRIP - CAUSED CAM SENSOR AND CRANK SENSOR TO GO BAD AS WELL (COST: ~$550). AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE SPENT ~$3600 ON A VAN THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR $3700!!????? I AM CONSIDERING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST CHRYSLER NOW.

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.
