MY WIFE WAS BACKING THE PLYMOUTH MINIVAN WHEN THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ROCKHARD AND BOTH THE ABS AND REGULAR BRAKE LIGHT WERE LIT. THE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME TO ASSIST HER. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY MOVED TO RUSS DARROW CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH OF MADISON FOR REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SYSTEM WITHOUT A DUPLICATED FAILURE. WE WERE TOLD "WE WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND THEN BRING IT BACK AND THEY COULD FIX IT". WHEN WE COMPLAINED AND REFUSED TO TAKE THE VECHICLE THEY SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SYSTEM WITH A DOCUMENTED FAILURE IN THIER TESTS. I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER AT 800-853-1403 TO REGISTER MY REQUEST THAT THE SYSTEM BE REPLACED AND STATED THAT WE WOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS UNSAFE WITH ANOTHER POTENTIAL FAILURE. CONTACTS THERE INCLUDE DAVE PEARL 2-1-99; TINA 2-2-99;RON DANDY 2-9-99 &2-10-99. WERE TOLD CHRYSLER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ABSEVEN THOUGH THERE WAS AN EXTENTED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF RECALL #685.

#1: ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY TO TURN ON. BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION "FEEL" WOULD CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY. FOR A 30,000 MILE SEQUENCE MAINTENANCE CHECK-UP AFTER 60,000 MILES WAS REACHED AT THE DEALER. THE PROBLEMS OF THE BRAKES WERE REPORTED. THE SERVICE SHOP ADISED THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED, AND FOUND TO BE OKAY. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE SAME PROBLEMS APPEARED. THE MINIVAN WAS RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS TIME THEY INDICATED, WHICH THEY DID NOT EARLIER, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM (OF WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED) AND THE REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE FOR FREE. SOON AFTER, THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED. THE VEHICULE WAS RETURNED AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALER SERVICE SHOP, THE BRAKES INSPECTED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO A CRACK IN A TIMING DEVICE ATTACHED TO THE FRONT AXLE, AND IT COULD BE REPLACED ONLY BY REPLACING THE AXLE, INVOLVING OVER $800 CHARGE. I REFUSED THE SERVICE, BUT WAS CHARGED OVER $40 FOR "BRAKE INSPECTION". I AM VERY UPSET WITH HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED. PROBLEM #2. AFTER A PASSENGER GOT OUT OF THE MINIVAN FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT, HE SHUT THE DOOR AND IT DID NOT LATCH. THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO THE DOOR WELD TO THE CAR FRAME HAD FAILED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR CASES. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER REFUSED TO AGREE THAT THE WELD WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WOULD NOT PAY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THE COST OF THE REPAIR. #3. A DISAGREEABLE ODOR IS CO
TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT WHEN GOING UP ON A RAMP OFF THE FREEWAY AT 50MPH (18 NOV 96). TAKEN VEHICLE TO TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE 2ND TIME, HAD FOOT ON PEDAL & VEHICLE DID NOT GO, THEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. *AK
ON 1/9/99 THE PASSENGER DOOR OF MY 1993 VOYAGER FLEW OPEN AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER. MY SON WAS IN HIS SEATBELT AND WAS THEREFORE NOT INJURED. THE REASON THE DOOR OPENED WAS A LATCH FAILURE. THE DOOR LATCH HAD TORN AWAY FORM THE SHEET METAL ON THE DOOR. THE DOOR LATCHES ON BOTH DOORS HAVE REPEATED FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. USUALLY THIS WAS REMEDIED BY CLOSINF THE DOOR AGAIN. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERS DURING THE WARRANY PERIOD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS "LOOSE SCREWS" IN THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. THE SCREWS WERE TIGHTENED AND SOMETIMES REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS REALLY DUE TO IMPROPER DOOR ALIGNMENT. THIS CAUSED THE LATCHES TO LOOSEN. HOWEVER AFTER REPEATED OPERATIONS IN THIS CONDITION IT ALSO CAUSED THE METAL AROUND THE DOOR LATCH TO FAIL. THE METAL IS RIPPING AROUND THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH AS WELL. THE CAST TO REPAIR IS $250 PER DOOR. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. (EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION DURING WARRANTY AND MISDIAGNOSED. THIS MAY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM.

YOU NAME IT, IT HAS BROKEN. THE REAR WIPER MOTOR QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF USE. WHEN IT RAINS AND I TURN RIGHT, THE WHOLE VAN JUST STOPS. RIGHT NOW, CAN'T TURN RIGHT WITHOUT CONSTANT NOISE AND JERKING. HAVE HAD THE FRONT AXLE REPLACED 4 TIMES. SOMETHING KEEPS TEARING IT UP. I WAS TOLD MOTOR MOUNTS, BUT THAT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE ENGINE, THE TRANSMSSION, THE WHEELS. I GET DIFFERENT STORIES FROM EACH PERSON. CAN'T CONTACT PLYMOUTH MANUFACTURER. CAR STALLS BETWEEN GEARS THEN JERKS INTO NEXT GEAR. PEOPLE AT DODGE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT VAN ARE NOT NICE, AND WON'T EVEN LOOK AT VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGING 50.00. THEY OVERCHARGE FOR EVERYTHING. WISH THE THING WOULD BLOW UP SO I COULD GET A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, AND NOT LOSE SO MUCH MONEY. MANY, MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. KNOW MANY PEOPLE WITH EXACT PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO REPLACE AT HIS COST!!! I DO NOT KNOW ALL THE NAMES OF EXACT COMPONENTS TO PLACE ON QUESTIONNAIRE TO GIVE MORE HELP. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THIS CASE WITH ANYONE. *AK

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
