1991 Plymouth 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.

DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SHORTED OUT.*AK

LIGHT FROM HEADLIGHTS HAS GRADUALLY DIMMED OVER THE YEARS ALTHOUGH BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. CAUSE APPEARS TO BE LACK OF AGING- AND/OR UV-RESISTANCE ON THE PART OF THE HEADLAMP LENSE (SEPARATE BULB/LENSE DESIGN), WHICH I BELIEVE IS MADE OF POLYCARBONATE (POSSIBLY ACRYLIC OR OTHER MATERIAL), WHICH HAS SUBSTANTIALLY YELLOWED WITH AGING AND/OR EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT. WHEN NEW, THE LENSES WERE COMPLETELY CLEAR, BUT ARE NOW QUITE YELLOWED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE SAFETY-RELATED PARTS. I BELIEVE THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS LIKELY BELOW FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS AT THIS TIME. *AK
