THIS WOULD ONLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF WE RAN OUT OF GAS AN AN INOPPORTUNE TIME. WE NOW MEASURE GAS BY THE TRIP ODOMETER. STILL, IT'S ANNOYING

AIRBAG/REAR WIPER FUSE - WE DROVE THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. DEALER REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT ASSURED US THAT AIRBAG WAS FUNCTIONAL.

I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU ONLY BECAUSE IN THE 30 YEARS I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THERE MAY BE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE WITH THIS PART.

INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION, AFFECTING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE BEING USED . SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME BACK AFTER TURNING THEM OFF. THE DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

THIS IS THE 4TH TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND 3RD TIME COMPLETE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED...CHYRSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM

EVEPORATOR ON AIR CONDITIONER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MUST BE A COMMON PLACE PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS. I'VE HEARD OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IVE TALKED WITH DOBBS IN ST. LOUIS AND GREINERS IN WATERLOO, IL. THEY BOTH HAVE TOLD ME OF NUMEROUS EVEPORATORS THAT THE YHAVE REPLACED. GREINERS IN WATERLOO TOLD ME THAT THERE APPARENTLY WAS SOME KIND OF PROGRAM THAT PLYMOUTH HAD SET UPS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY YJOMH LIKE THIS?

WHILE TRAVELLING 60MPH, HEARD THUMP. VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER GO FORWARD OR REVERSE. REBUILT TRANSMISSION THAT REPLACED THIS ONE FAILED ONE YEAR LATER (JUST AFTER WARRANTY!)

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND COMING TO A STOP, VEHICLE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH MAY CAUSE A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO STALL ABOUT 4 TIMES, AND THEN IT WON'T HAPPEN FOR A WHILE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK

TRANSMISSION HAS DEVELOPED A HOLE, CAUSING IT TO LEAK WHICH RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE PARKED WITH THE WINDOWS SLIGHTLY OPEN, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR GLUED TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FELL OFF DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE GLUE. THIS WAS REPAIRED AT A DEALER FOR ABOUT $27, BUT THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNTIL I COULD GET IT SERVICED.

STARTING IN EARLY 1996 THE VAN STARTED TO STALL WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. THIS DID NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I STOPPED, AND IT WAS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AS TO WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP IN FT. WALTON BEACH COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, BUT CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY TO TRY TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO HELP, BUT A FEW WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM COME AND GO WITH NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IN LANCASTER COULD NOT FIND A SOLUTION. YESTERDAY I FOUND A SECRET SERVICE BULLETIN # 18-16-96 WHICH ADDRESS THIS VERY PROBLEM. THE FAULT IS WITH THE HARDENED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *AK

THE BOLT THAT CONNECTS THE RIGHT GAS PROP (THAT SUPPORTS THE REAR LIFTGATE) SNAPPED ON THE TOP. THE BOLT WAS COMPLETELY SHEARED. THE LIFTGATE DROPPED PULLING MY ARM AND SHOULDER WITH IT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL SITUATION IF SOMEONE WAS STANDING IN ITS PATH. *AK

DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S DOORS ARE TOO HEAVY FOR THE HINGES. THEREFORE ,OVER A LENGTH OF TIME ,THE LATCH MECHANISM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD THE DOOR, EVEN WITH IT BEING LOCKED. *AK

THE MOLDING ON THE REAR WINDOW WOULD MELT AND DRIP ALL ALONG THE SIDES. THE VAN WOULD DIE WHEN WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WAS ON. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN EVERYTHING OFF, PUT IN PARK AND TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE. TOO MANY TIMES WE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT NOT TOO MENTION THE 100 + DEGREES WE HAVE HERE IN THE DESERT. THE FIRST TIME THE VAN STALLED OUT WE HAD JUST STARTED OUT FROM A RED LIGHT, THE VAN DIED AS WE WERE GOING THROUGHT THE INTERSECTION. ALL POWER DIED AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER SEVERAL LANES OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC INTO A PARKING LOT TO TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IT WOULD ALWAYS RESTART, HOWEVER ONLY WITH THE AIR TURNED OFF ALONG WITH THE RADIO. WE TOOK THE VAN TO OUR OWN MECHANIC HOPING THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE LOWER. HOWEVER AFTER REPEAT STALLING PROBLEMS AND FINALLY NO AIR CONDITIONING AT ALL WE BROUGHT THE VAN TO THE CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH DEALER WHO TOOK OVER FROM ED MOSES , JIM CLICK . THE $659.17 WE PAID THEM TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR COIL & RECHARGE THE AC SYSTEM IS ANOTHER YEARLY MAJOR DEFECT WE HAVE HAD TO REPAIR. NOVEMBER OF 1997 WE PAID $714.50 FOR THE DEALER TO OVERHAUL THE TRANSMISSION, FLASH THE CONTROLLER AND FLUSH THE COOLER. WE DID SEEK AND RECEIVED ASSISTANCE FROM THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION FOR THAT REPAIR BUT FOR ONLY HALF OF THE TOTAL REPAIR COST. WE ALSO SEEKED ASSISTANCE FROM AGAIN REGARDING THE AC REPAIR BUT WERE TOLD THAT SINCE WE DIDN'T USE THE DEALER FOR REPAIRING THE ORIGINAL STAL

TRANSMISSION LEAKED FUEL FROM THE SEALS WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO BECOME INOPERABLE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
