The contact owns a 1996 Chrysler Voyager. After purchasing the vehicle, the defogger failed to operate normally. The driver had to stop the vehicle in order to clean the windows. There have been several failures with the vehicle since it was purchased. The engine was rebuilt and the serpentine belt was replaced on five occasions. The steering was replaced incorrectly by a dealer and was authorized by the manufacturer to be replaced. The brakes and the heating system were replaced under the extended warranty; however, the brakes were replaced four times. The contact was charged $100 per visit. Invoices are available if needed. A complaint was also filed with the state attorney general. The contact is disabled and aware of the safety risk involved in the numerous vehicle failures. On March 27, 2008, the dealer replaced the manifold and cylinder. On April 14, 2008, while making a right turn at approximately 30 mph, the steering wheel locked. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The dealer stated that they really care about their customers and would be willing to do a buyout. The powertrain was unknown. The failure mileage was 68,000 and current mileage was 80,995.

The contact stated there were several safety defects within vehicle. The service dealer attempted to repair the vehicle numerous times. There was a problem with the defrosting system, the air conditioning belt, heater core, and heater blower, they were all replaced. The replacement of these parts did not solve the defrosting problem. The steering column shook while driving at normal speeds. The dealer has not been able to diagnose the source of the steering vibration. There was a squeaking noise in the brakes. The dealer said this was normal because the vehicle was not in use for a long period of time. The dealer indicated the noise would end with normal use, but the noise continued. Updated 12/7/2005 -

In April 2003, the vehicle was taken to an auto body shop for maintenance on the air conditioning. The mechanic noticed the strut towers were rusting. The consumer then took the vehicle to Chrysler, who stated the problem was not normal. The consumer called the manufacturer, who would not cover any of the cost.

The air-conditioner failed to work properly during the first hot spell of the year. The dealer diagnosed a coolant leak. Although it was a slow leak that very likely began while the vehicle was under warrenty, Plymouth would only pay 70% of the repair bill because the problem was discovered after the 36000 mile warrenty ran out. The cost of diagnosis was not covered at all.

The evaporator for the air conditioner has developed a leak and I have lost all coolant. The repair costs are substantial because the front dash has to be removed to replace the evaporator. Although my mini-van is less than 3 years old, it is out of warranty due to the mileage. A friend of mine who owns an autobody shop mentioned that he has replaced quite a few evaporators in Voyager & Caravan mini-vans recently. Is this a common problem with these mini-vans?
