1995 Plymouth Voyager Problems

1995 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS DEFECTIVE TO CLOCKSPRING. *TS THE CONSUMER 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WAS RECALLED FOR THE CLOCKSPRING. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE CLOCKSPRING RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. *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

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.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. PH *TR

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.

CONSUMER STATED DOORS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FRAME WHERE THE HINGES WERE ATTACHED CRACKED. THIS WAS HAPPENING AROUND DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER' SIDE DOORS. BECAUSE OF THE CRACKS DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK, AND COULD BE OPENED INVOLUNTARILY. *AK

DOOR STRUCTURE FAILED. *AK THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEPT ILLUMINATING. THE DOOR SENSOR BUTTON AN THE FUSE BOX KEPT SHORTING OUT. *NM

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT STRUCTURE PROBLEMS. THE HINGES ON THE DOOR WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE DOOR, AND THERE WAS A CRACK. DEALER AND MANUFACTURE WERE CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. ALSO, LATCH ON THE DOOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO THE POINT THAT WHEN THEY MADE A SHARP CURVE THE DOOR CAME OPEN. *AK

ACCIDENTS INVOLVING PLYMOUTH VOYAGER'S, THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. *PH (NAR) THE CONSUMER ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE HEAD GASKETS AND THE TAIL GATE LIGHT COMING ON. *CB

EXHAUST SYSTEM CRACKS AND GROANS WHEN STOPPING OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. *SLC

INDEPENDENT DEALER THAT REPAIRED CONSUMER'S VEHICLE NOTICED REAR DRUMS HAD SMALL CRACKS. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

RECALL 99V113000 CONCERNING INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WAS DONE IN 1999. AT THIS TIME AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHEN AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. *AK VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY DEALERSHIP.*AK

STEERING WHEEL POPPED OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. VEHICLE SNAPPED AROUND THE BOLTS OF STEERING WHEEL. *AK

WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, TURNING STEERING WHEEL AND GOING TO CHANGE GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL POPPED OFF. VEHICLE SNAPPED AROUND THE BOLTS ON STEERING WHEEL. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER COULD NOT GET ANOTHER STEERING WHEEL.*AK

DEFECTIVE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. THE BELT WAS NOT RETRACTABLE. BROKE WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD. I DID NOT RUN INTO ANYTHING, AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY FACTOR. *AK THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT HAD FROZEN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD ORDER ANOTHER SEAT BELT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. *SCC *JB

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

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

I HAVE AN EIGHT PAGE HISTORY OF THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE.I SENT A COPY OF IT TO DRIVING SPECIALTIES.THEY SUGGEST I SELL THE VEHICLE OR TAKE OFF ALL THE FEATURES THAT WE PAID $16,000.00, FOR THEM TO INSTALL! I WOULD LIKE TO SEND YOU A COPY.IT HAS ALL THE DETAILS AND SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. NO SAFETY DEFEC T STATED. *AK

HEAD GASKETS AND CAM SEALS AT 120-123000 / TRANSMISSION AT 73000 / AIR CONDITIONING AT 80000 DESPITE REGULAR MAINTAINENCE AND OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-4000 MILES. *AK

AIR CONDITIONER QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR. WHEN TAKING CAR IN FOR 30000 MILE SERVICE, HAD DEALER (BOB CALDWELL CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH) CHECK THE AIR CONDITIONER. DEALER SAID LEAKS AT EVAPORATOR & COMPRESSOR O-RINGS. WANTED 1400.00 TO REPAIR. HAD AN INDEPENDENT DEALER CHARGE SYSTEM AND IT LASTED FOR REMAINDER OF SUMMER. NEXT YEAR, SYSTEM HAS LEAK ALL COOLANT AGAIN. CALLED INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TO SEE IF I COULD GET RECHARGED. SHOP SUGGESTS I CHECK WITH DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL YET, SINCE MANY OTHER VOYAGERS/DODGES HAVE RECALL DUE TO FAULTY EVAPORATOR. DEALER CLAIMS NO RECALL. TAKE IT TO INDEPENDENT TO SEE IF CAN BE CHARGED. INDEPENDENT DETERMINES THAT NOW THE COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR. IF I HAD PAID DEALER 1400.00 LAST YEAR TO REPLACE EVAPORATOR, I'D STILL NEED TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL 1000.00 THIS YEAR TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE. THIS HAS SOURED ME ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. AND TO THINK I WAS CONSIDERING PURCHASING A PT CRUISER. I THINK I NEED TO RECONSIDER. *AK

FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRE(P195 70 R15)EXPERIENCED BLOWOUT, CONSUMER WANTS REIMBURSEMENT. *SLC

CAR WAS WOBBLING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SEPARATING.

MORE FOR AN UPGRADE AND GOT MICHELIN WEATHERWISE STEEL BELTED RADIALS. I THOUGHT THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED INCASE THERE WERE OTHER YOKOHAMA TIRES HAVING TROUBLE.
