1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager Exterior lighting Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the exterior lighting system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Exterior lighting 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 SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THE SAME PROBLEM(TRANSMISSION RUINED DUE TO COMPUTER FAILURE/MALFUNCTION. ALSO THE MASTER SWITCH IN THESE VEHICLES IS FAULTY(THAT IS THE SWITCH FOR WINDSHIELD WIPERS/TURN SIGNAL) THAT CAUSES WIPERS TO COME ON OF THEIR OWN ACCORD. I AM AFRAID TO SPECULATE ON THE PROBLEMS THAT COULD ARISE IF THE TURN SIGNAL PORTION WAS TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL.
