Owner-reported complaints naming the engine system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Engine 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 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
