1996 Plymouth Voyager Owner Comments

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.

This is no events leading up to this yet. I own a 1996 Plymouth Voyager SE, the strut towers on both driver and passenger side under the hood are rusting out. The tower have not been replaced yet due to Chrysler telling me the parts for the fix are back ordered, and they do not know when the parts will be available. If one of struts where to come through, god knows what might happen. This seems to be affecting 96-00 Caravan and Voyager, personally seen it and on-line forums. I have had different 96 and 97 with the same problem, have since sold them.

Dealer service department stated this is normal wear cleveland area due to salt. Rotor warpage, extreme vibration and sway bar bushings failure at such low mileage represents dangerous design flaw which is impractical to compensate for with constant replacing of poorly designed and manufactured parts. This is in a vehicle which is typically used to Transport families and children. These defects cause actual loss of control problems on the road should be addressed urgently. ***dimsii IVOQ posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****742642
