1994 Plymouth Voyager

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH 2-SPOKE LUXURY WHEELS MANUFACTURED JULY 1992 THROUGH JUNE 1993; OR EQUIPPED WITH 4-SPOKE SPORT WHEELS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1992 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1993. 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 CRACKS AND ANY WHEELS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL HAVE A REINFORCEMENT PLATE INSTALLED TO PREVENT STEERING WHEEL SEPARATION IN THE EVENT CRACKING OCCURS.

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: MINI VANS. THE WIRING THAT INITIATES THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD ELECTRICALLY SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND. A SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND THAT EXISTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "ON" OR "START" POSITION CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG(S) TO INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY.

Risk. INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAN INJURE A FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL PERFORM AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. ANY SHORT CIRCUITS IDENTIFIED IN EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INITIATOR WIRE CIRCUIT WILL BE REPAIRED.

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 WILL REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH WITH A NEW STRONGER LATCH ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CHARGE. CHRYSLER BEGAN NOTIFYING OWNERS DURING DECEMBER 1995.

DEAR SIR/MADAM: SAFETY ISSUE: MY PLYMOUTH VAN CAUGHT FIRE SOMEWHERE IN THE LOWER DASHBOARD ON DRIVER SIDE. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR AND PARKED IT, WHEN MINUTES LATER THE HORN SOUNDED AND WE SAY SMOKE AND FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. THE CAR DOORS LOCKED THEMSELVES, ONE FRONT LIGHT WENT ON, REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS ON DURING FIRE. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN THE VAN. WHY DID THE FIRE START AND WHY DID THE VAN DOORS LOCK. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE SEND A REPLY AS TO WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE PARKING BRAKE WILL INADVERTENTLY RELEASE AFTER LOCKING IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 4-5 YEARS. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE YEARS. IT WILL CLICK AS IF IT WAS LOCKED, THEN IT WILL JERK. IT WILL MAKE A VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE BEFORE IT JERKED. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THE CAR WAS TOO OLD. THE MANUFACTURER SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. *AK *JB

DT: THE CALLER SAID THAT WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION LOCKED. HE SAID THAT AT 55 OR 60 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION L LOCKED IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR. THE CALLER'S VEHICLE LOST SPEED AND HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS TO GET TO THE DEALER. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO HELP FOR FREE.*AK

THE HEAD LIGHTS BECOME CLOUDY BECAUSE OF ULTRAVIOLET DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC NEEDS ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION, LIKE OUR EYEGLASSES HAVE ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION. THE HEADLIGHT DEVELOP CATARACTS, LITERALLY, BECOMING CLOUDY AND VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY. I HAVE FOUND MAGUIRE'S PASTX DOES HELP FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE HEADLAMPS OR LENSES BECOME CLOUDY AGAIN. OF COURSE EACH TIME I USE THIS PLASTIC CLEANER AND POLISHER, I AM DIMINISHING WHAT LITTLE UV MIGHT BE LEFT IN THE PLASTIC. THIS CLOUDINESS OF THE PLASTIC ALSO IS BAD ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE PASSING OF STATE INSPECTIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA - IT'S REGARDED AS A POSSIBLE HAZARD OBVIOUSLY ACCORDING TO THE STATE INSPECTION. *JB

DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY RECLINED TO FULL BACK POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RETURNING SEAT TO UPRIGHT POSITION, FOUND THAT SEAT RECLINE MECHANISM DOES NOT SECURE SEAT, MODERATE PRESSURE ON THE SEAT BACK CAUSES IT TO SUDDENLY RECLINE. *JB

THE LIFTGATE SUPPORT BRACKET RECALL 99V210000 REMEDY FAILED. THIS RESULTED IN THE LIFTGATE OPENING WHILE DRIVING.*AK

I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PEELING PAINT PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES - THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A FREE ESTIMATE FOR A NEW PAINT JOB! I HAVE A CHRYSLER CASE #9230347. THE ZONE REP HAS LOOKED AT THE VAN AND OFFERED TO ASSIST WITH REPAINTING. I WAS TOLD TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM MAACO WHICH WAS $1400 TO REPAINT THE ROOF AND HOOD. HE OFFERED TO PAY $400. I DECIDED TO TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND HAD ANOTHER ESTIMATE TO REPAINT THE ENTIRE VAN FOR $3040.79. WE WENT FOR OUR PRETRIAL CONFERENCE ON JUNE 10, 2003. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO PROVE THAT THIS DEALERSHIP KNEW IN 1994 THAT THE PAINT WOULD FAIL... I CAN'T FIND A SERVICE BULLETIN. BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ONLY KEEPS RECORDS FOR 3 YRS. WE WENT TO MEDIATION - ME, THE LAWYER FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE ZONE REP FOR CHRYSLER (BILL SEDICK). THE LAWYER WAS A STEREOTYPICAL SLEAZE... HE SAID THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS WAS 6 YRS AND THIS CASE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO COURT. HE TRIED TO GET THE JUDGE TO THROW IT OUT BEFORE WE EVEN WENT TO MEDIATION. THEN HE THREATENED TO MAKE ME PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES... I DISMISSED THE CASE AGAINST THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I LEARNED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE THAT ROUTE ANYWAY. BUT I HOPE THAT SLEAZY LAWYER DOESN'T THINK IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIM... I TOLD HIM HE WASN'T TELLING THE TRUTH - THAT THERE WAS NO STATUE OF LIMITATIONS UNDER THE MAGNUSON MOSS FED. LAW... HE WAS SUCH A CREEP - HE EVEN MADE THE COURT CLERK MAD BEC

PLEASE BE INFORMED OF A POTENTIAL AUTO FIRE DEFECT ON A 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER VAN WITH A 3.3 ENGINE.. CAUSE: \TUSE OF A METAL CABLE RESTRAINT CLEAT THAT HOLDS THE HIGH AMPERAGE BATTERY CABLE HARNES, NEXT TO THE ALTERNATOR. CLEAT IS LOCATED BEFORE THE MAIN BATTERY FUSE LINK, CONDITION AGRIVATED WITH THERMAL WARMING, LOCATED ABOVE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. CLEAT CUTS INTO THE HIGH AMPERAGE CABLE AND IGNITES A FIRE IN THE CABLE HARNES. BURNING HARNES IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW A FLEXABLE FUEL LINE. IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO EXTINGUISH THE RESULTING FIRE WITHOUT REMOVAL OF THE BATTERY CLAMP, AS THE FUSE LINK AFFORDS NO PROTECTION AND THE FIRE WILL RE-IGNITE. FAULT DISCOVERY: OWNER OBSERVED FIRE SOON AFTER IGNITION AND USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES, BUT THE CABLE CONTINUED TO INCANDESS UNTIL THE BATTERY CLAMP WAS REMOVED. FOLLOWUP EXAMINATION OF THE RECOVERED METAL CLEAT SHOWED INDICATIONS OF ARC-BURNING. FAILURE MODE: THE FAILURE MODE MAY EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS EITHER PARKED UNATTENDED OR BEING DRIVEN AT HIGHER SPEED, AND EVIDENCE OF CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED DUE TO MORE EXTENSIVE FIRE LOSS.

THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT VEHICLE STALLED WHEN SLOWING DOWN. *AK*MR

IN SEPTEMBER 2000 THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OF OUR 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER LX SEPERATED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. NEITHER THE REPAIR FACILITY NOR THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER COULD EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED THE WHEEL TO SEPERATE.
