It is June of 2003 and the car is currently in the shop again for the transmission problem. It has had a power steering pump failure, serpentine belt failure times 5 and now a computer problem. I have contacted chrystler Corp at least 5 times regarding the problems with this car. Their answer is well, if you don't like the care trade it in.

1998 Plymouth Voyager loses serpentine belt, over heats and loses power steering whenever it rains. I had the belt tensioner replaced twice it has not helped now van is at another Chrysler dealership, where they say it is the power steering pump and pulley. They are charging me $400 dollars to do this work and I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be acknowledged and addressed.

When driving at low speeds and brakes are applied, vehicles' steering wheel will tighten, making it difficult to steer. This almost caused several accidents. The dealership have replaced the rack and pinion 3 times and the power steering pump once, but problem still exits.

Tensioner freezes up and has to be replaced. This has happened twice in one year. Each of the two different dealers charged me different amounts, one charged $106 and the other charged $275. I have been told this can be very dangerous by the dealer and needs to be fixed. I wonder why then if it is so dangerous and so many people are having the same problem it has not been recalled.
