1991 Plymouth Voyager complaints

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED. PRIOR TO VEHICLE STOPPING, HAD SMELLED AN ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE VEHICLE. LIFTED HOOD & NOTICED THAT HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE HAD RUPTURED, AND WAS SPITTING FLUID ONTO ENGINE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE BACK WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED, FOR NO KNOWN REASON. NLM

HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE PREMATURELY BLOWING OUT, CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK RADIO AND DOME LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. THE ENGINE HAD FAILED WITHIN JUST TWO YEARS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. SEAT BELTS MALFUNCTIONS. RADIATOR FAN WAS MALFUNCTIONING. EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILED. *YH

LIGHT FROM HEADLIGHTS HAS GRADUALLY DIMMED OVER THE YEARS ALTHOUGH BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. CAUSE APPEARS TO BE LACK OF AGING- AND/OR UV-RESISTANCE ON THE PART OF THE HEADLAMP LENSE (SEPARATE BULB/LENSE DESIGN), WHICH I BELIEVE IS MADE OF POLYCARBONATE (POSSIBLY ACRYLIC OR OTHER MATERIAL), WHICH HAS SUBSTANTIALLY YELLOWED WITH AGING AND/OR EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT. WHEN NEW, THE LENSES WERE COMPLETELY CLEAR, BUT ARE NOW QUITE YELLOWED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE SAFETY-RELATED PARTS. I BELIEVE THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS LIKELY BELOW FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS AT THIS TIME. *AK

RIGHT WINDSHIELD WIPER FELL OFF. CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER, AND RIGHT ONE CAME OFF. *AK PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER BROKE OFF DUE TO WIPER PIVOT AND ARM FAILURE. *YH

I FIRST REPORTED THIS PROBLEM IN JANUARY 1997 WHEN THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. EVENTUALLY, IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ON DEC 31, 2000 WITH A REQUEST FOR MEETING WITH CHRYSLER REP., TO DATE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE, TO BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. *AK

I AM SORRY THAT I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION NECESSARY. I NEVER KNEW HOW TO FILL OUT A COMPLAINT LIKE THIS BEFORE. A FEW YEARS AGO, MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID IT STALLED OUT. IT HAD AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED FREQUENTLY. THEN IT BEGAN TO SMOKE WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN. FINALLY, I SPOKE TO A DEALER CONCERNING THESE PROBLEMS AND HE SAID THAT I NEEDED TO BRING IT IN FOR AN OVERHAUL. I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS JUST CALLING FOR A PRICE, APPT FOR A TUNEUP AND HE SAID THAT IF I HAD THE PLYMOUTH VOYAGER AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN THAT FAR AND IT WAS STILL WORKING THEN IT NEEDED A MAJOR OVERHAUL. THEY ALL DID HE SAID. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED NOTICING THE OTHER MINIVANS ON THE ROAD. THE SLIGHTLY OLDER ONES. ALL OF THEM HAVE WHITISH GRAY SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE. ALL OF THEM EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES AND/OR HAD MAJOR OVERHAULS INVOLVING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE VALVES. NOW MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL AND THE MECHANIC WON'T WORK ON IT ANYMORE EVEN A MINOR TUNEUP BECAUSE HE SAYS THAT THE ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW UP. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR IT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE NO CHOICE. I HAVE MADE IT A POINT TO SPEAK TO OTHER VAN OWNERS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE ROAD. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NO MATTER HOW WELL OR HOW BADLY YOU MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE THE SAME RESULT. I RECENTLY HEARD THAT MITSUBISHI HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR SELLING

I GOT A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE CAB, TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THE FUEL INJECTOR SEALS AND RAIL WERE LEAKING.

I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE RAIL IS A RECALLED PART FOR THE '93 - '97 VOYAGERS. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD IT BE A RECALL, AND WHY IS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OUT OF THIS PART? THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL SHIP SOME OUT ON 1/21, BUT DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO MEET ALL THE ORDERS!!!!! WHAT'S GOING ON? ALSO, A FEW MONTHS AGO, I WAS GOING ALONG DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VAN JUST "LOCKED UP" AND STOPPED. --LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING FAIRLY SLOWL WHEN I RAN OFF THE ROAD AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
