Every record below is an owner-reported complaint about the 1993 Plymouth Voyager submitted to NHTSA — not a confirmed defect, not a recall and not a manufacturer bulletin. 13 reports on file name it.

NO SUMMARY
#1: ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY TO TURN ON. BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION "FEEL" WOULD CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY. FOR A 30,000 MILE SEQUENCE MAINTENANCE CHECK-UP AFTER 60,000 MILES WAS REACHED AT THE DEALER. THE PROBLEMS OF THE BRAKES WERE REPORTED. THE SERVICE SHOP ADISED THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED, AND FOUND TO BE OKAY. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE SAME PROBLEMS APPEARED. THE MINIVAN WAS RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS TIME THEY INDICATED, WHICH THEY DID NOT EARLIER, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM (OF WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED) AND THE REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE FOR FREE. SOON AFTER, THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED. THE VEHICULE WAS RETURNED AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALER SERVICE SHOP, THE BRAKES INSPECTED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO A CRACK IN A TIMING DEVICE ATTACHED TO THE FRONT AXLE, AND IT COULD BE REPLACED ONLY BY REPLACING THE AXLE, INVOLVING OVER $800 CHARGE. I REFUSED THE SERVICE, BUT WAS CHARGED OVER $40 FOR "BRAKE INSPECTION". I AM VERY UPSET WITH HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED. PROBLEM #2. AFTER A PASSENGER GOT OUT OF THE MINIVAN FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT, HE SHUT THE DOOR AND IT DID NOT LATCH. THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO THE DOOR WELD TO THE CAR FRAME HAD FAILED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR CASES. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER REFUSED TO AGREE THAT THE WELD WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WOULD NOT PAY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THE COST OF THE REPAIR. #3. A DISAGREEABLE ODOR IS COMING OUT OF THE AIRCONDITIONING DUCTS, MOST STRONGLY UPON THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION. THE SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS THAT ALL THEY CAN DO IS MASK THE SMELL TEMPORARILY BUT IT WILL COME BACK. THEY HAVE SEEN THIS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. I AM CONCERNED IF THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR MAY REPRESENT HARM TO THE HEALTH OF THE PASSENGERS. *AK
YOU NAME IT, IT HAS BROKEN. THE REAR WIPER MOTOR QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF USE. WHEN IT RAINS AND I TURN RIGHT, THE WHOLE VAN JUST STOPS. RIGHT NOW, CAN'T TURN RIGHT WITHOUT CONSTANT NOISE AND JERKING. HAVE HAD THE FRONT AXLE REPLACED 4 TIMES. SOMETHING KEEPS TEARING IT UP. I WAS TOLD MOTOR MOUNTS, BUT THAT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE ENGINE, THE TRANSMSSION, THE WHEELS. I GET DIFFERENT STORIES FROM EACH PERSON. CAN'T CONTACT PLYMOUTH MANUFACTURER. CAR STALLS BETWEEN GEARS THEN JERKS INTO NEXT GEAR. PEOPLE AT DODGE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT VAN ARE NOT NICE, AND WON'T EVEN LOOK AT VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGING 50.00. THEY OVERCHARGE FOR EVERYTHING. WISH THE THING WOULD BLOW UP SO I COULD GET A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, AND NOT LOSE SO MUCH MONEY. MANY, MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. KNOW MANY PEOPLE WITH EXACT PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO REPLACE AT HIS COST!!! I DO NOT KNOW ALL THE NAMES OF EXACT COMPONENTS TO PLACE ON QUESTIONNAIRE TO GIVE MORE HELP. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THIS CASE WITH ANYONE. *AK

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.
