What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2002 Plymouth Grand Voyager, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Steering
Reports naming the steering system — racks, columns, power-steering assist and steering linkage.
From owner reports, verbatim
I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 DODGE CARAVAN AND I LOST CONTROL BECAUSE MY STEERING HOSE LET GO, AND AS A RESULT I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR
A LOUD NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT FLUID STARTED LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CLAMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

Airbags
Reports naming the air-bag system — deployment behaviour, inflators, sensors and warning lights.
From owner reports, verbatim
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING VAN, SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR A LONG TIME OR OTHER TIMES ITS ONLY ON FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN GOES OFF. EACH TIME IT GOES ON YOU HEAR A WARNING CHIME. MY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOWS A RECALL ON THE 1998-2000 VANS FOR A CLOCKSPRING REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS THROUGH A DEALER. THIS SORT OF PROBLEM IS A TOUGH ONE TO DEAL WITH AS A COMSUMER BECAUSE UNLESS THE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, ITS HARD FOR THE DEALER TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD COME UNDER A RECALL LIKE THE PRIOR YEARS.

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.
