1991 Plymouth Voyager

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE BOLTS USED TO ATTACH THE STRUT TO THE BODY AND THE REAR LIFTGATE CAN ACCUMULATE FATIGUE DAMAGE IF THREE FACTORS COMBINE. IF THE BOLT IS LOOSE, THE GAS STRUT IS OVER-PRESSURIZED, AND THE FREQUENCY OF OPENING AND CLOSING CYCLES IS HIGHER THAN FOR THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER, THE BOLT CAN FAIL.

Risk. PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR IF THE BOLTS BREAK ALLOWING THE LIFTGATE TO FALL SUDDENLY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR LOOSE FASTENERS, IF THE FASTENERS ARE LOOSE, THE STRUT (AND INTEGRAL BOLTS) WILL BE REPLACED. IF THE BOLT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF TORQUE, THE BOLT WILL BE REMOVED, LARGER WASHERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING WASHER AND THE BOLT WILL BE REINSTALLED AND HAND TIGHTENED TO THE TARGET TORQUED.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE LEFT HAND WINDSHIELD WIPER PIVOT DRIVE ARM WAS NOT MECHANICALLY STAKED TO THE PIVOT SHAFT.

Risk. THIS COULD ALLOW THE DRIVE ARM TO DISENGAGE FROM THE SHAFT LEADING TO A LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY WOULD BE IMPAIRED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LEFT HAND SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER PIVOT ASSEMBLY.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER MINI-VANS. COVERS ON THE SOLID STALK MOUNTED SEAT BELT BUCKLES CAN BECOME DISLODGED CAUSING THE RELEASE BUTTON TO STICK INSIDE THE COVER. THE BUCKLE WOULD THEN BE ONLY PARTIALLY LATCHED.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A COVER RETAINING CLIP TO THE STALK MOUNTED BUCKLE COVER TO PREVENT DISLOCATION OF THE BUCKLE COVER.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER MINI-VANS. THE CENTER REAR SEAT, RIGHT OUTBOARD SIDE, SAFETY BELT ANCHOR HOOK CAN BECOME UNATTACHED FROM THE BODY ANCHOR POSITION.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ANCHOR HOOK RETAINING CLIP WITH A REVISED PROFILE CLIP AND A COVER PLATE.

Defect. THE STEERING WHEEL ARMATURE STAMPING CAN CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN.

Risk. IF THE STEERING WHEEL SEPARATES FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN, LOSS OF CONTROL CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR ARMATURE CRACKS IN THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT AREA. ANY STEERING WHEELS SHOWING CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL HAVE A REINFORCEMENT PLATE INSTALLED TO PREVENT STEERING WHEEL SEPARATION IN THE EVENT CRACKING OCCURS.

Defect. THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR CAUSING PUMP-MOTOR DETERIORATION.

Risk. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION COULD BE LOST AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL TEST THE VEHICLE'S ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VEHICLES IF NECESSARY. ALSO THE WARRANTY ON ALL ABS COMPONENTS WILL BE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES (EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLY AND THE PUMP-MOTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL HAVE A LIFETIME COVERAGE). OWNERS WILL ALSO BE REIMBURSED FOR PREVIOUS ABS COMPONENT REPAIR COSTS.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PASSENGER MINIVANS WITH REMOTE RELEASE. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO DETERMINATION THAT A SAFETY DEFECT EXISTS WITH THE MINIVAN LATCHES. CHRYSLER IS CONDUCTING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY OF THE AFFECTED MINIVANS. IN A COLLISION, THE REAR LIFTGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY COULD OPEN.

Risk. IF THE LIFTGATE LATCH OPENS, OCCUPANTS CAN BE EJECTED RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. CHRYSLER DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH WITH A NEW STRONGER LATCH ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CHARGE. CHRYSLER BEGAN NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES IN MARCH 1996.

Defect. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HIGH PRESSURE PUMP MAY BE POROUS WHICH WILL RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.

Risk. FLUID LEAKAGE EVENTUALLY CAUSES THE LOSS OF BOTH THEANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND HYDRAULIC ASSIST FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING ININCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF BRAKE LOCKUP AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, WHICHCOULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. REPLACE THE ABS HIGH PRESSURE PUMP AND HIGH PRESSURE HOSE IF THE LAST SIX DIGITS OF THE BAR CODE LABEL ON THE PUMP ARE BETWEEN 052300 AND 059262.

Defect. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HIGH PRESSURE HOSE MAY LEAK OR DETACH AT ITS CRIMPED END FITTING RESULTING IN THE DISCHARGE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.

Risk. FLUID DISCHARGE EVENTUALLY CAUSES THE LOSS OF BOTH THEANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND HYDRAULIC ASSIST FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING ININCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF BRAKE LOCKUP AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, WHICHCOULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. REPLACE THE ABS HIGH PRESSURE HOSE WITH A HOSE OF DIFFERENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.

I HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NEXT DAY AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THE CLUTCH PLATES WERE FROZEN TOGETHER AND I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T EXPLODE OR FREEZE-UP(CAUSUNG ACCIDENTS) LIKE SOME OTHERS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN. I LOOKED INTO THIS AND THERE ARE MORE THAN A FEW HORROR STORIES ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING PLYMOUTH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS EXPLODING, SOME WITH LESS THAN 300 MILES. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING MINIVANS WHICH ARE MOSTLY A FAMILY VEHICLE. THIS FIRST EPISODE COST ME $2100 AND THE SECOND EPISODE THE SAME AT 167000 MILES.SHOULDN'T THIS PROBLEM, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS INHERENT TO ALL CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH/DODGE AUTOMATIC TRANMISSIONS, BE ADDRESSED AT LEAST FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, IF NOT FROM A DEFECTIVE STANDPOINT?*AK

VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXPERTLY MAINTAINED. THE PROBLEM HERE, IS THE RE PLACEMENT OF CALIPERS DURING A REBUILD SEQUENCE ALLOWS FOR THE REBUILDER, THE RIGHT TO REPLACE A METAL CYLINDER WITH A "PHENOLIC" LIKE CYLINDER, WHICH HAS FAILED TWICE WITHIN A 5 MONTH PERIOD ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS. WHILE ON OCCASION A CALIPER OR WHEEL CYLINDER MAY GO BAD-THIS DESIGN IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED IN IT'S ENGINEERING CONCEPT. THE PHENOLIC PISTONS DO NOT DISSIPATE HEAT PROPERLY, AND BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN FLAW OF WHERE THE CYLINDER PROTRACTS WHEN IT MEETS THE STEEL BACKING OF THE BRAKE PAD LEAVES FULLY 1/3 OF THE PISTON FULLY EXPOSED TO UNNECESSARY HYDRAULIC PRESSURES. IT IS EXACTLY AT THIS JUNCTURE WHERE A SERIOUS FRACTURE OCCURS ON THE PISTON, RENDERING THE BRAKE DANGEROUSLY INOPERABLE. MOREOVER, THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RUPTURED PARTICLES CAN FALL IN BETWEEN THE ROTORS AND THE ASSEMBLY, WHICH WOULD CAUSE A VEHICLE TO PITCH AND OVERTURN DUE TO THE PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS. CHRYSLER HAS MANY OF THESE DEPLOYED ON THE ROAD IN VARIOUS MODELS OF AUTOS AN VANS. THIS IS FAR TOO DANGEROUS AN AFTERMARKET PRODUCT TO ALLOW THE PRODUCERS TO CONTINUE FLOODING THESE MARKETS WITH FLAWED DESIGN TO BEGIN WITH, AND A SERIOUSLY FLAWED REPLACEMENT CYLINDER. AS A PILOT AND AIRCRAFT OWNER I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE FAA, WOULD NEVER PERMIT SUCH A DESING ON AN AIRCRAFT. HAVING HAD MANY EXTENSIVE YEARS OF EXPERTISE ON BOTH AIRCRAFT AND AUTOMOTIVE REBUILDING-THESE BRAKE UNITS SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET AND A SUITABL
