1995 Plymouth Voyager Owner Complaints

I FOUND THAT I EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH DOOR HINGE CRAKING RESULTING IN DOOR NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. MY FATHER WAS ABLE TO FIX WITH SIMPLE WELDING., BUT NOW I FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS. MY FRIEND HAS A SIMILAR 95 DODGE CARAVAN WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM ON BOTH DOOR. I HAD IT ONLY ON ONE. NOW LOOKING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS I'M WODERING IF IT MAY BE A STRUTUAL PROBLEM INTEAD OF JUST WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. DATE IS NOT ACCURAT ALL I REMEMBER WAS THAT IT WAS LAST YEAR. THE COMPUTER WOULDN'T LET ME PROCEED WITH OUT A FULL DATE INPUT.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO A STOP. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER, THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS A FAILED PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE, WHICH WAS REPLACED. LATER, THE AIR CONDITIONING FUSE BLEW. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEALER, THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS WORN WIRING AT THE CONNECTION TO THE FUSE BOX. THE WIRING WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BEFORE FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS COULD BE MADE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED.

I HAVE A 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER THAT WAS FOUND BY MY AUTO MECHANIC TO BE LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS ON RECALL FOR 1996 VOYAGERS BUT NOT FOR MY 1995 VOYAGER EVENTHOUGH ITS THE SAME PART, THE FUEL RAIL. I TALKED TO CHRIS IN THE RECALL CENTER AT 800-531-1403 AND NOTIFIED HIM OF THE PART BUT HE WOULD DO NOTHING TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO MY CAR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 1995 VOYAGERS LIKE MINE THAT HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF CATCHING FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART BUT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT THEY SHOULD REFUND MY REPAIR EXPENSES. *NM

(1) MY 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER HAS A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE HORN TO NOT WORK AND THE AIR BAG TO BE DISABLED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER (REF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V293000) FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT I AM TOLD THAT I MUST PAY A CHRYSLER DEALER APPROXIMATELY $100 DIAGNOSIS FEE IN ORDER FOR CHRYSLER TO CONSIDER OFFERING ASSISTANCE. I DO NOT MIND PAYING $100 DIAGNOSIS FEE IF I AM GUARANTEED TO GET THE MONEY BACK WHEN THEY TELL ME THAT THE CLOCKSPRING IS DEFINITELY THE PROBLEM. ALL I WANT IS TO GET THE PART FOR FREE AND I'LL INSTALL IT MYSELF. (2) NO CONSEQUENCES YET. (3) THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED - AWAITING CHRYSLER HELP. *JB

THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT IS LEANING BACK AND WE CAN NOT ADJUST IT BACK TO AN UPRIGHT POSITION. ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND THE METAL CHASSIS FOR THE SEAT WAS DEFECTIVE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT THE SEAT IS BASICALLY USELESS AND WOULD NOT ABSORB ANY IMPACT. IS CHRYSLER DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE SEATS OR REPLACING THEM. *JB

OUR 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WAS SERVICED FOR NHTSA RECALL 99V113000 AND MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 818/AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER SERVICE THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD COME ON . LIGHT HAD NEVER BEEN ON PREVIOUS TO RECALL SERVICING . RETURNED VEHICLE YEARS LATER (LIGHT ON ENTIRE TIME) AND REQUESTED TO SERVICE THE PROBLEM IF RELATED TO RECALL NHTSA RECALL 99V113000 AND MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 818/AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT . DEALER HAS CHARGED ME $82 DOLLARS TO TELL ME THAT WIPER MOTOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND ADDITIONALLY A COST OF $247.90 WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK UNTIL WIPER MOTOR IS REPLACED. MY REQUEST TO INVESTIGATE THIS CLAIM UNDER THE RECALL ACTION WAS IGNORED BY STAFF/TECHNICIANS. RECALL WAS REQUIRED FOR A DESIGN FLAW DUE TO THE COMMON FUSE BETWEEN THE AIR BAG AND REAR WIPER MOTOR UNIT, BUT REPAIR DOES NOT INCLUDE DESIGN REPAIR . I AM WONDERING WHAT EXACTLY IS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. SYMPTOM IS EXACT AS NHTSA RECALL 99V11300 AND MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 818/AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT , BUT PRESTIGE CHRYSLER DODGE OF LONGMONT, CO. WILL NOT FIX UNDER RECALL AND SEEMS TO HAVE NO CONCERN FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. *JB

THE COMPLAINT REFERS TO A 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. A PASSENGER VEHICLE. CAR DOORS PULL AWAY FROM FRAME CAUSING DOOR TO JAM, THE DOOR THEN FAILS TO CLOSE PROPERLY & PASSENGER CAN BE EJECTED FROM THE CAR. THAT IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. NOT ONE LIKE THE BULB MAY STAY LIT & CAUSE EARLY BURNOUT. THE DOOR HINGE SYSTEM IS DANGEROUSLY FLAWED. NO ONE WAS INJURED ONLY BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT KEPT THE OCCUPANT IN THE CAR. THIS DEFECT RENDERED THE CAR UNSAFE TO OPERATE & UNSAFE TO SALE. THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR WAS $1500-$2000 WITH NO GUARANTEE OF THE WELD HOLDING & THE PROBLEM RESURFACING. THE CAR WAS SOLD FOR SCRAP. *NLM

UNSAFE SEAT BELTS. WHILE DRIVING, I REACHED DOWN TO PICK UP AN ITEM NEXT TO MY SEAT. I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE RED BUTTON ON THE LOWER SEAT BELT STRAP, AND THE SEAT BELT RELEASED. THIS I FEEL IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX. WHY WOULD THEY HAVE THIS BUTTON SO HIGH, THAT A SIMPLE TOUCH RELEASES THE SEAT BELT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS RESULTED IN ANYONE GETTING HURT, BUT I CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A ROLL OVER, WHERE THE OCCUPANT WAS REACHING TO GRAB ON ANYTHING TO STABLE THEMSELVES, AND THEY TOUCHED THE RED BUTTON. *JB
