1994 Plymouth Voyager complaints

IN LAST TWO WEEKS ALONE VAN HAS STALLED 5 TIMES. VAN IS CONSTANTLY IN THE SHOP FOR STALLING. THE PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT SEEMS TO BE MORE AFFECTED BY ADVERSE WEATHER. WHEN IT RAINS OR SNOWS OR THERE IS HIGH HUMIDITY I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY VAN WILL STALL. THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED WHILE IT IS IN THE SHOP. IT HAS EVEN BEEN HOSED DOWN TO TRY TO GET THE PROPER WET CONDITIONS THAT SEEM TO MAKE IT STALL. I HAVE COUNTED A MINIMUM OF 38 REPORTS ON YOUR WEBSITE (LISTED UNDER DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, I.E., ENGINE, DEFROSTER, BRAKES, OTHER PARTS) SO I ASSUME THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I HAVE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, HAVE STALLED WHILE TURNING RIGHT (IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC) AND IN MOST CASES IT IS WHILE I AM TRANSPORTATING CHILDREN, WHICH IS WHY MOST PEOPLE PURCHASE A MINI-VAN....TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN. IT IS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE 38 COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ON YOUR WEBSITE. I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE THE ODI ID #'S. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT HOME. ALSO PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NOT REPORTED ANY PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE ??!! I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME SERVICE STATION SINCE I MOVED TO TOWN (14 YRS AGO) WHICH IS WHY I CONTINUE TO GO THERE, I AM CONFORTABLE DEALING WITH SAME SERVICE STATION. *AK

1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER TRANSMISSION FAILURE: THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WITH LOW-AVERAGE MILEAGE. IN SPEAKING TO VARIOUS OTHER AUTO GROUPS, MECHANICS, DEALERS, APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER BASED MINIVANS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. SPECIFICALLY THE SEALS IN THE CLUTCH. APPARENTLY, THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH VERY THIN SIDEWALLS WHICH DEGRADE QUICKLY, FAIL, AND CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH TO LOSE PRESSURE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. A NOTE TO THE MFG (CHRYSLER): TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FAIL AT 59K. I WAS TREATED WITH TOTAL DISREGARD WHEN I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CENTER. THIS IS THE FIRST & LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I WILL PURCHASE. *AK

WE HAVE TURNED OUR VAN IN FOR REPAIR OF OUR ABS BRAKE LIGHT THAT HAS COME ON, THE BRAKES HAVE MADE LOUD NOISES, AND IT TAKES THE VAN A LITTLE LONGER TO STOP. THE DATES WE SUBMITTED TO CAR FOR REPAIR WERE 9 SEP 96, 6 DEC 96, 18 JUN 98, 20 APR 99, AND TODAY 26 NOV 99. ALL PAST TIMES WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THEY COULD SEE. THE BRAKE AREA WAS CLEANED AND THAT WAS IT. ONE TIME WE WERE TOLD IT COULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE OEM BRAKE PADS ON. THE BRAKES STOP VERY IRREGULARLY WHEN THE CONDITION HAPPENS. SOMETIMES THEY WORK PERFECT, OTHER TIMES THE BRAKES DON'T CATCH FOR A SECOND OR TWO. BECAUSE IT IS NOW WINTER HERE IN GERMANY WHERE I'M STATIONED WITH THE ARMY, A COUPLE SECOND BRAKE DELAY CAN BE DANGEROUS ON THE ICY HILLS WE HAVE HERE.
