CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PAX FRONT AND 2ND ROW CENTER SAFETY BELTS UNBUCKLE FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. TS

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY VAN WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR UNLESS I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDDLE REALLY HARD, THEN EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN. IT WILL START AND GO IN GEAR NOW BUT IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND THEN SHIFT AND STICKS IN FIRST UNDER 40 MPH. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS MAINLY WITH IGNITION. IGNITION HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES.

1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE PAINT. ALL THE VANS MADE IN THAT YEAR AND 1994 ARE PEELING AND RUSTING IN THE SAME PLACES. I FEEL THE COMPANY NEGLECTED TO RECALL THESE VANS TO BE REPAINTED TO SAVE THEM MONEY. MY VAN IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE PROPERTY REPAINTED UP TO STANDARD. *NM

MY PAINT IS PEELING TO THE POINT WERE IT IS STARTING TO RUST.*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

I CURRENTLY OWN A 1993 CHRSYLER VOYAGER WITH 94,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS [XXX]. OVER THE SPAN OF 7 YEARS (FROM 1995-2002) THERE WERE ALMOST 6 ACCIDENTS DURING THIS PERIOD. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS INOPERATIVE. IN THESE INSTANTS THE ABS LIGHT WOULD SUDDENLY COME ON AND ULTIMATELY THE BRAKE WOULD LOCK-UP, AND WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE DURING THESE INCIDENTS IT WOULD NOT SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. *AK DURING THIS PERIOD, I HAVE INFORMED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THEY HAVE CHANGE THE COMPUTER COMPONENT AND ITS PARTS SEVERAL TIMES. HOWEVER, THE ABS IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. RECENTLY THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS ABS DID NOT WORK WHEN PRESS UPON IT. THEN THE LIGHT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS AND THEN THE BRAKE WORKED NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THIS ABS SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN THE ABS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF AND I AM AFRAID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THE ABS FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM THIS MANUFACTURER? WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE NOW THAT THE 10YEARS/100,000 MILES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED? WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY DOES THE MANUFACTURER/DEALERSHIP HAVE AFTER HAVING GONE THERE SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS? CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR ME TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? UPDATED 07/24/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHILE JACKING THE VEHICLE UP THE JACK COLLAPSED, BARELY MISSING THE CONSUMER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT JACKS AREN'T TO BE USED THAT MUCH.*AK
