SEVERLY RUSTED STRUT TOWER ON MY 1996 PLYMOTH GRAND VOYAGER. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 1998 AND 2000 GRAND VOYAGERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ESTIMATED REPAIR $4500.00. *AK
ABOVE ARE OUR MAJOR PROBLEMS WE RECENTLY HAD WITH OUR VAN. THE MOST SERIOUS ONE THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY IS THE BODY WORK DONE TO THE LEFT SIDE STRUT TOWER DUE TO RUST - WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE REPAIR OF THE SUSPENSION. I REPORTED THIS TO DAIMLERCHRYSLER UNDER CONCERN#11568602 ASKING THEM FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT THEY REFUSED. WE ALSO HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND AIR CONDION FAILURE; HOWERVER, THESE WERE FIXED WITH NO CHARGE DUE WARRANTY (BELOW 100,000 MILES), BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING FAILED AGAIN AS NOTED ABOVE. REGARDING OTHER COSTS: THESE WERE FOR THE FRONT SWAY BAR BUSHINGS AND OUTER TIE ROD ENDS. I PURHASED THIS 1996 VAN IN 11/12/1998 WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 53,841 MILES.
TRANSMISSION PUMP, IS OUT NOW, SPECKLED PAINT ON HOOD AND TOP, SIDES, BACK, VIBRATION IN FRONT END STEERING, LOUD NOISES, CREAKS AND MAKES LOTS OF NOISES, BACK DOOR ON RIGHT SIDE WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. I NEED HELP WITH ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE ITEMS REPAIRED WAS BY A FRIEND MECHANIC.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 70 MPH I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. LOOKED AT SPEEDOMETER AND IT REGISTERED 0. I HAD NO POWER. BARELY MANAGED TO GET VAN OFF THE ROAD. GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER IT, THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERYWHERE. HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY PERSONAL MECHANIC. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR OF PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGERS. I ONLY HAVE 86,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO THE SLIDING DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED, WINDSHIELD WASHERS HAVE FAILED, A/C HAS FAILED, NOT TO MENTION THE AIRBAG LIGHT, FUEL LINE AND ALL OF THE NUMEROUS OTHER RECALLS IT HAS HAD ON IT. *NLM
SUB FRAME OF VAN HAS CRACKED CAUSING SEVERE VIBRATION. ALL MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED. MY 1990 HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM. VAN IS BARLEY DRIVABLE AND UNSALEABLE. THROW IN TWO COMPLETE AC SYSTEMS, TWO MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCHES(LOOKS LIKE #3 IS LININGS UP), A CLOCKSPRING(RECALL) AND TOP IT OFF WITH HORRIBLE SERVICE. LOYALTY SHOULD BE A TWP WAY STREET!! TS
CONSUMER STATED THE SAME DEFECT REGARDING LIFTGATE RECALL 99 V 213 HAPPENED WITH HIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE OF THE YEAR. TS CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS IF SOMETHING HAD HIT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE LIFTGATE SUPPORT WAS DANGLING, THE BOLT ATTACHING THE SUPPORT TO THE VEHICLE HAD BROKEN OFF. *JG *JB
LIGHTS FLASH,BELLS CHIME,DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATE REPEATEDLY, DASH GAUGES GO DEAD VERY DISTRACTING AND SCARY FOR MY WIFE.
DOOR LOCK FAILURES: REPEATED FAILURES REQUIRED NEW MECHANISMS, ALSO AFFECTED THE FUEL TANK DOOR. TRANSMISSION FAILURE: OCCURRED IN PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY. REQUIRED $2200 IN REPAIR. DEALER (HERSHBERGER MOTORS IN WOODBURN, OR) FAILED TO CORRECTLY SEAL THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN RETURNED TO DEALER FOR THIS, THEY BROKE THE RIGHT BEARING HUB, ANOTHER $400 TO REPAIR. BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILURE: WIPERS STOPPED WORKING - AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY IN OREGON! BCM REPAIRED BY SENDING OUT EXISTING UNIT BY DEALER (TOWN & COUNTRY CHRYSLER, MILWAUKIE, OR). DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM ($450 REPAIR COSTS). PRESENTLY IN FOR CORRECITVE ACTION. SIGNED - UNHAPPY CUSTOMER.
SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER'S SIDE FEELS TIGHT ON TRACK. BUT WHEN CLOSING AND DRIVING IT RATTLES/ SHAKES AND SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO COME OFF. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 3-4 TIMES TO BE CHECKED, AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK
SEVERAL ITEMS: NO INTERIOR LIGHTS FUSE IS OK, PSNGR ARMREST FELL OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS OCCASIONALLY CYCLE ON THEIR OWN.*AK

DESPITE SEVERAL DEALERSHIP "FIXES" GAS TANK SHIFTS AND THUMPS WHEN ACCELERATING OR STOPPING SHARPLY. ALL ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ELECTRICAL "VIBRATION"-TYPE NOISES WHEN ACTIVATING. REAR BRAKES HAVE "HUMMED" WHEN LIGHTLY BRAKING SINCE NEW. PROBLEM EVOLVED INTO SURGING. NEEDED A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB AT 40,000 MILES DUE, I BELIEVE, TO LACK OF DEALERSHIP FIX BEFORE HAND.*AK
CAR LEAKS AT DRIVERS SIDE DURING HEAVY RAINS. DELAER BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CARPET HAS BEEN REPLACED. CAR IS NOW EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL DEFECTS AS A RESULT OF A) THE LEAK ITSELF, OR B) REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE DASH ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO TRY AND FIND THE LEAK. I AM ALLSO CONCERNED ABOUT LONG TERM RUST AS A RESULT OF THE CONTINUING LEAKS. THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE SOLD NOW AS A RESULT OF THE LEAK AND CONTINUING PROBLEMS. *AK
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE SLIDING DOOR SOLENOID TWICE. *AK
THE FUEL PUMP FAILURE (TWICE) IS NOT ONLY INCOVENIENT AND EXPENSIVE THE 2ND TIME(NOT UNDER WARRANTY), BUT IT ALSO CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS AT THE WRONG TIME, LIKE DURING PASSING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY TURN-ON IS MORE ANNOYING THAN DANGEROUS. I DO KNOW A FEW MORE OWNERS IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY SLIDING DOOR ELECTRONIC LOCK PROBLEM IS A THEFT ISSUE--THE DOORS CAN'T BE LOCKED WHEN THE LOCKS MALFUNCTION-- AND BOTH SLIDING DOORS MALFUNCTIONED DURING THE LAST YEAR- AGAIN NOT UNDER WARRANTY.
POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED. MJS
NO SUMMARY
BOTH REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCK AND ARE INOPERATIVE. *ET
