I CALLED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY USAA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CHYSLER MINIVANS COME OUT OF PARK. IN MY CASE THE VAN WAS IN THE GARAGE AND MY SON WAS LETTING THE DOG OUT AND THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE NEARLY OVER HOI CRASHED THROUGH A FENCE ONTO A NIEGHBORS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 6 HOURS AS AN AUTOMATIC IT HAS TO BE FULLY IN PARK TO GET THE KEY OUT. I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER. *AK

ON RETURN DRIVE FROM NJ TO RI ON I 95, WHEEL STARTED SUDDENLY VIBRATING WITH INCREASING SEVERITY UNTIL VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SINCE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, I REDUCED SPEED, BUT VIBRATING BECAME WORSE. TAKEN TO DEALER, TOWN FAIR TIRE, SEEKONK, MA WHO REPLACED RIGHT FRONT TIRE DUE TO THE RADIAL BELTS SHIFTING AND LOOSENING. 70 % OF TIRE TREAD REMAINED AND TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AS PER CAR MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS (DOT NUMBER: CCP9 TIRESIZE: P195/75R14)

THE DOOR POST ON RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT DOORS IS BREAKING OUT OF THE MAIN FRAME WHERE THE HINGE BOLTS ON I HAVE TALKED TO 5 AUTO BODY REPARE SHOP AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN THE LAST 2-3 YEARS. *AK

OVERHEATING REPORTED; ORIGINAL DEALER REPLACED RELAY SWITCH; UPON REQUEST TO EXAMINE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM, CONFIRMED NO PROBLEM. SECOND DEALERSHIP EXAMINED CAR AND SAID HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN -- $2000 REPAIR. SAME DEALER ADVISED PATTERN OF HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS IN THESE MODELS. ORIGINAL DEALER SUBSEQUENTLY EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DENIED PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER DRIVING, PROBLEM RECURRED ONLY NOW CONFIRMING HEAD GASKET. COST OF REPAIR EXCEEDS BOOK VALUE OF VEHICLE, BUT ONE DEALER ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED PATTERN OF PROBLEM. IT SEEMS, THEREFORE, MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. DECISION TO REPAIR MUST BE IMMEDIATE BECAUSE OF COST. *AK

RECEIVED RECALL #99V113000 IN THE MAIL. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER ARRIVING WITH VEHICLE MECHANIC INDICATED AIR BAG PROBLEM WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS PROBLEM STILL EXIST CONCERNING AIR BAGS.*AK

DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER IN PHOENIX, CEREMIC CALIPER? MELTED TO BRAKE AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO CEASE UP CAUSING INSTANT LOSS OF BRAKES, NO WARNING, DROVE 4 ADDITONAL MILES TO REPAIR SHOP AFTER HEARING LOUD GRINDING, REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT BREAKS WERE CEASED DUE TO MELTED COMPONENT AND WITHIN MILES WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF AND SEVERED BRAKE LINE CAUSING INSTANT FAILURE OF VEHILE BRAKES. THIS HE NOTED IS COMMON TO THE PYMOUTH VOYEGAR AND DODGE CARAVEN IN THE PHOENIX. SINCE THIS IS A FAMILY VAN, I AM ONLY GRATEFUL WE DID NOT HAVE THE KIDS IN THE CAR WHEN COMPLETE FAILURE OCCUR. NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENED. SEEMS THE CERAMIC PART IS MANUFACTURER ERROR IF THEY DON'T WORK IN HOT WEATHER.*AK

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP ESPECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A TURN, GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, SLOWING DOWN FOR ANY REASON. DEALER KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A DIRTY THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, EVEN WITH REGULAR CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY, THERE IS NO WAY TO COMPLETELY PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN ON A CURVY ROAD LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING, POWER BREAKS, ETC. HAD A VEHICLE BEEN APPROACHING, MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN BROADSIDED.

NO SUMMARY

CONSUMER HAD YOKAHAMA TIRES, MODEL # P20570T15, AND THEY SEPARATED AT THE TREAD. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED - INTERNAL GEAR STRIPPING DUE TO GENERIC DEFECTS KNOWN BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. FURTHER INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON LEMONAIDCARS.COM

TRIED AIR CONDITIONER AND IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL. MOTOR FOR AC RUNS AND ENGAGES BUT NO COOL AIR

ABS ACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY. FAILURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON ICY ROADS WHEN ABS IS EXPECTED TO WORK AND DOES NOT.

WE TOOK OUR PLYMOUTH VOYAGER TO OUR DEALER WITH A COMPLAINT OF A LOUD "CLUNK" IN THE FRONT END. WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND THAT IT WOULD SOON REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. WE ASKED IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS WE HAD TO LEAVE ON A 400 MILE BUSINESS TRIP THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL, BUT THAT IT WOULD NOT CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. WE THEN LEFT FOR OUR DESTINATION. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AT THE DESTINATION AND HE INFORMED US THAT THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS TO THE FRONT BALL JOINTS. HE SAID THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. WE HAD HIM DO THE REPAIRS. UPON REMOVING THE FRONT BALL JOINTS HE SHOWED US THAT ONE HAD PROBABLY NEVER BEEN GREASED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. HE ALSO SAID THAT DUE TO THE ZERK FITTING AIMING DOWN IT REQUIRED A SPECIAL TOOL TO GET GREASE INTO IT AND THAT HE HAD ALWAYS REPLACED THESE POORLY DESIGNED ZERK FITTINGS WITH ANGLED ONES SO THAT THEY COULD ROUTINELY BE GREASED. THE REPLACEMENT BALL JOINTS WERE EQUIPPED WITH THE PROPER GREASE FITTINGS WHICH WOULD ALLOW EASY MAINTENANCE. I TOOK THE FAILED PARTS TO MY DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT DESPITE MY HAVING NUMEROUS LUBRICATIONS AND SAFETY CHECKS AT THEIR FACILITY THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. I DISAGREED WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND SINCE HAVE HAD NO FURTHER DEALINGS WITH THEIR DEPARTMENT. MY QUESTION IS THIS..... AM I THE ONLY PLYMOUTH VOYAGER OWN

WE HAD THE MINIVAN IN FOR THE REAR LATCH RECALL, AND IN THE PROCESS THE MECHANICS REPLACED THE CHEST BUCKLES FOR BOTH INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS. BEFORE, THE CHEST BUCKLES WERE PERMANENT. NOW, MY CHILDREN CAN REMOVE THEM AND TAKE THEIR ARMS OUT OF THE RESTRAINTS. I AM EXTREMELY ANGRY ABOUT THIS, AS IT POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY. WHY DID THEY CHANGE THESE BUCKLES AND CAN THEY CHANGE THEM BACK? AS A SIDE NOTE, OUR FIRST 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WAS TOTALLED WHEN WE WERE FLIPPED BY A SPEEDING POLICE CAR. MY TEN MONTH OLD SURVIVED BECAUSE OF THE BUILT IN CHILD RESTRAINT WITH THE PERMANENT CHEST BUCKLE!!!!. *AK

CHARGED $178.15 TO INSTALL SPECIAL SHIELD TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM AFTER THE 6TH FAILURE. *AK

SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE, VEHICLE HAS HAD A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING AT 35-40 MPH. ALL ALONG I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE, AS IS SHOWN BY REVIEWING CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE. NOW, THE SHUDDER IS VERY PRONOUNCED. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT A RECALL BE ISSUED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE NORMAL REPAIR, WHICH HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IS TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTOR AND SHIFT SOLENOID BLOCK. ALSO, THE PROBLEM IS EVIDENCED BY THE TSBS THAT ARE ON SHIFT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND TORQUE CONVERTOR SHUDDER. THIS PROBLEM GETS MORE PRONOUNCED WITH TIME, AND COULD ALSO RELATE TO PROBLEMS LIKE ENGINE MOUNTS CAUSING CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE (MOUNT WORN OUT BY CONTINUALLY VIBRATING (ABNORMALLY) AT SHIFT SPEEDS). THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALER WAS BUTLER CHRYSLER/DODGE IN BEAUFORT, S.C.. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO THEIR CONSUMERS AND FIX PROBLEMS, NOT JUST ISSUE TSBS, AND HOPE NO ONE COMPLAINS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A RECALL. AND AMAZINGLY ENOUGH WHEN THEY DO ISSUE A RECALL, IT JUST HAPPENS TO SKIRT THE VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS REPORTED, SUCH AS MILEAGE LIMIT BELOW REPORTED VEHICLES. PLEASE ASSIST IN MAKING THE AUTO DEALERS OF AMERICA A RESPECTIBLE GROUP AGAIN. *AK
