We had a 1996 Plymouth minivan that has been giving us problems with electrical and engine. It wouldn't shift, the cruise control would stick, the battery would be drained even though nothing was left on. On Tuesday, Dec. 9th 2008 we moved our van to clear our driveway of snow. Within 10 minutes it started on fire in the dash. Somewhere near or in the glove box. The van is a total loss due to the fire department having to use high pressure water, fire extinguisher, cutting wires and fire/smoke damage.

The contact owns a 1996 Plymouth Voyager. Since November of 2003, the transmission has been replaced three different times. After purchasing a brand new transmission, it failed again the very same day and needed to be replaced again. The contact has had the top half of the engine rebuilt. The vehicle is stuck in drive and will not hold fluid. The front windshield wipers activate without a power surge in the vehicle. In addition, the rear bolts keep coming out of the shocks. The contact has taken the vehicle to have the bolts tightened three or four times. The engine is ticking and smoking. The serpentine belt slips off if it gets even slightly wet from snow or rain. The check engine light sporadically flashes on and off or constantly remains illuminated. The air conditioner was completely serviced; however, it cannot be used because of the transmission failure. The current mileage was 155,000 and failure mileage was 116,250. Update 09/10/08 updated 09/15/08.

Me and my son was driving down the interstate when all of the sudden my speedometer stopped working and the rpms was going up to a dangerous zone, I let off the gas to try and avoid a engine blow up and the rpms was still quite high, I manged to get us off with out getting ran into from behind, I went 25 mph going home at the rate of rpms at 3 1\2 to 4, I have no ideal as to what is going on but a few things I have read so far sounds like maybe emissions or trasmission, I live on a fixed income and disabled, I wished I knew about all the recalls and the troubles the Voyager had before I bought it, well some one wish me luck, thanks

Windshield wipers worked intermittently. The consumer also experienced electrical defects. The lights and radio were sometimes effected. Provide further details. Consumer feels this is very dangerous since the wipers stop working in the middle of a rain storm which leads to poor visibility.

Basically, this vehicle has had several electrical problems since I have owned it ( I am the original owner). The windshield wipers go on intermittently, I have put 3 or 4 new batteries in it. The alarm system does not function properly. I have heard the NHTSA is investigating the air bag, horn and cruise control problem. Has any decisions been made so that I wont have to pay $300 to fix this defect. ****dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****770839
