IN SEPTEMBER 2000 THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OF OUR 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER LX SEPERATED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. NEITHER THE REPAIR FACILITY NOR THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER COULD EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED THE WHEEL TO SEPERATE. I RECENTLY FOUND SOME RECALL INFORMATION ON THE PLYMOUTH VOYAGER THAT MATCHES THE ABOVE INCIDENT (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #93V098000). COULD THIS DEFECT UNDER THE RECALL BE APPLIED TO OTHER PLYMOUTH VOYAGERS?

CONSUMER IS HAVING TROUBLE RECEIVING RECALL REPAIR (99V-113). MJS

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CV BOOTS ON THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME, WHEN TURNING THERE IS A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT END. CONTACTED DEALER

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES DUE TO A PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH TIRES. YH

THE HEAD LIGHTS BECOME CLOUDY BECAUSE OF ULTRAVIOLET DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC NEEDS ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION, LIKE OUR EYEGLASSES HAVE ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION. THE HEADLIGHT DEVELOP CATARACTS, LITERALLY, BECOMING CLOUDY AND VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY. I HAVE FOUND MAGUIRE'S PASTX DOES HELP FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE HEADLAMPS OR LENSES BECOME CLOUDY AGAIN. OF COURSE EACH TIME I USE THIS PLASTIC CLEANER AND POLISHER, I AM DIMINISHING WHAT LITTLE UV MIGHT BE LEFT IN THE PLASTIC. THIS CLOUDINESS OF THE PLASTIC ALSO IS BAD ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE PASSING OF STATE INSPECTIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA - IT'S REGARDED AS A POSSIBLE HAZARD OBVIOUSLY ACCORDING TO THE STATE INSPECTION. *JB

FOG LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED.
