1994 PLYMOUTH Voyager

The transmission won’t go from first into second properly. Seems to happen mostly on warm days or after lengthy driving and then coming to a stop/go situation. I had it replaced in March 2001. It is doing it again. New transmission – same problem. I have not gone to the manufacturer. I have just recently come across some service bulletins that might help my mechanic. Just thought I’d add my voice. It is frustrating – never know when it will happen.

Serpentine Belt Keeps coming off about every week or two.New belt pulleys and bracket but it still keeps coming off and breaking

Please be informed of a potential Auto Fire Defect on a 1994 Plymouth Voyager Van with a 3.3 Engine..Cause: Use of a metal cable restraint cleat that holds the high amperage battery cable harnes, next to the alternator. Cleat is located before the main battery fuse link, Condition agrivated with thermal warming, located above the exhaust manifold. Cleat cuts into the high amperage cable and ignites a fire in the cable harnes. Burning harnes is located directly below a flexable fuel line. It may not be possible to extinguish the resulting fire without removal of the battery clamp, as the fuse link affords no protection and the fire will re-ignite.Fault Discovery: Owner observed fire soon after ignition and used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames, but the cable continued to incandess until the battery clamp was removed. Followup examination of the recovered metal cleat showed indications of arc-burning.Failure Mode: The failure mode may explain the cause of other incidents where the vehicle was either parked unattended or being driven at higher speed, and evidence of cause could not be determined due to more extensive fire loss.

PEELING PAINT. IT IS PEELING EVERYWHERE ON THE VEHICLE. I WANT SOME ACTION

It is horrible, but the paint is peeling off in big patches all over the car which is now rusting. Also the crise control switch and the swtich to the hatch (rear door) stopped working as well. The casette player is also not working.

I have been working on this peeling paint problem for two years. I discussed this with the dealership several times – they offered to give me a "free" estimate for a new paint job! I have a Chrysler case #9230347. The zone rep has looked at the van and offered to "assist with repainting." I was told to get an estimate from Maaco which was $1400 to repaint the roof and hood. He offered to pay $400. I decided to take them to small claims court and had another estimate to repaint the entire van for $3040.79. We went for our pretrial conference on June 10, 2003. I was told I need to prove that this dealership knew in 1994 that the paint would fail… I can’t find a service bulletin. Better Business Bureau only keeps records for 3 yrs. We went to mediation – me, the lawyer from the dealership, and the zone rep for Chrysler (Bill Sedick). The lawyer was a stereotypical sleaze… he said the statue of limitations was 6 yrs and this case should never have been brought to court. He tried to get the judge to throw it out before we even went to mediation. Then he threatened to make me pay thousands of dollars in legal fees… I dismissed the case against the dealership because I learned several months ago that I shouldn’t have gone that route anyway. But I hope that sleazy lawyer doesn’t think it was because of him… I told him he wasn’t telling the truth – that there was no statue of limitations under the Magnuson Moss Fed. law… he was such a creep – he even made the court clerk mad because he said their dismissal form was "bogus" Then the Chrysler guy offered $1,500.00 for a paint job. He even apologized for the lawyer guy. I’m supposed to go to a paint shop for an estimate and Mr. Sedick said he’d work with them and me to get the van repainted. He was pretty nice actually. He said he didn’t want a dissatisfied customer and he hoped I would do business with them again – I said Probably not…Anyway thanks for your help. We are going to get this van repainted – drive it around looking nice for a few months since I’ve been driving it around fortwo years looking crappy and then trade it in. I told him that it was such a shame because other than the paint we have loved this van.

The paint is peeling to the point of bare metal being exposed. The paint problem is ongoing that began at the top of the vehicle and around the windows. I am the original owner and have garaged the van for approximately 8 years of its life. Please address this problem before any further damage occurs.

All of the other problems that I have checked off are Off and on problems. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I was reading on the internet trying to get an explanation as to why my van stalls, after regular maintenance, and realized this is a bad problem. I am 1 person of about 1000 people trying to figure this out. I am very baffled as to why there has been no recall for this "MAJOR" problem. I was going to pick up my Husband last night from a friend’s house with my 2 year old with me, and I was crossing a 4 lane highway when my van stalled right in the middle of the highway with a 18 wheeler coming at me!!! That is when I decided to look into the problem on the internet, and read 100’s of people’s questions as to why their Plymouth minivans do this also. This should be a big problem for the makers of this particular vehicle, with it being A FAMILY VAN AND ALL!!! I want an answer as to why the manufacturers can’t even give a straight answer as to why this happens. I am not the only Parent who drives this van that has this problem. Makers of this vehicle should be a little more willing to give answers to us parents before too many children and parents die. That is mostly the people who drive these…..>Family people.

No known events other than use and rust lead to failure.. the problem was discovered when passenger side rear tire began rubbing wheel well. please help, both leaf springs snapped/broke on our 1994 voyager! please be advised, be on watch for any other dodge/plymouth vans doing this, could cause dangerous loss of control and or accident/injury! this should not have happened! warning! this part # 80556pn/1504* main leaf springs is defective and amazingly broke completely into at the front mounts. i have many pictures to send. please recall asap. vin: rr809177 mileage: 184000 i am very concerned that this could be just the "tip of the iceberg" and many vans could have the same problem with disastrous results if leaf springs break at highway speed! you folks need to get after this asap! i got a good used 95 whole axle with leafs and had the old axle replaced with the used one. old parts/leaf springs with old axle have been saved and are available. *jb

Dear sir/madam: safety issue: my plymouth van caught fire somewhere in the lower dashboard on driver side. we had just driven the car and parked it, when minutes later the horn sounded and we say smoke and flames. the fire department was called. the car doors locked themselves, one front light went on, rear tail light was on during fire. fortunately no one was in the van. why did the fire start and why did the van doors lock. this is a real safety issue. please send a reply as to what you plan to do about this safety issue. thank you.

Dt: the caller said that while driving transmission locked. he said that at 55 or 60 mph and without warning the transmission l locked in first or second gear. the caller's vehicle lost speed and had to get off the road. he drove the vehicle at slow speeds to get to the dealer. dealer and manufacturer offered no help for free.*ak

Dt: the contact stated the parking brake will inadvertently release after locking it. this has been happening for over 4-5 years. it has gotten progressively worse over the years. it will click as if it was locked, then it will jerk. it will make a very loud popping noise before it jerked. the dealer told him the car was too old. the manufacturer said it was out of warranty. *ak *jb

The head lights become cloudy because of ultraviolet damage to the plastic. the plastic needs ultraviolet protection, like our eyeglasses have ultraviolet protection. the headlight develop cataracts, literally, becoming cloudy and very difficult to see clearly at night. i have to drive very slowly. i have found maguire's pastx does help for a few months and then the headlamps or lenses become cloudy again. of course each time i use this plastic cleaner and polisher, i am diminishing what little uv might be left in the plastic. this cloudiness of the plastic also is bad enough to prevent the passing of state inspections in pennsylvania - it's regarded as a possible hazard obviously according to the state inspection. *jb

Gen3 defective seat belt release as per abc news primetime 3/7/2002. *ak

I saw how dangerous the gen3 seatbelts can be on primetime(on abc). chrysler needs to recall these seatbelts because they release easily with the slightest pressure during an accident. i don't feel that my kids are safe using these "safety" belts. when i contacted chrysler(1-800-853-1403) they said the gen3 belts were safe and that i could not replace them with any seatbelt because the car was designed to fit the belts. i am willing to pay for safer seatbelts but they have offered no solutions. please see the web site: unsafebelts.com the web site: unsafebelts.comsafe car and when i called chrysler(1-800-853-1403) *ak

I called our insurance company usaa and they said that they have had a number of chysler minivans come out of park. in my case the van was in the garage and my son was letting the dog out and the car rolled out of the garage nearly over hoi crashed through a fence onto a nieghbors vehicle i have had it towed to the dealership. the car had been parked for 6 hours as an automatic it has to be fully in park to get the key out. i am getting the run around from the dealer. *ak

On return drive from nj to ri on i 95, wheel started suddenly vibrating with increasing severity until vehicle became difficult to control. since we were close to home, i reduced speed, but vibrating became worse. taken to dealer, town fair tire, seekonk, ma who replaced right front tire due to the radial belts shifting and loosening. 70 % of tire tread remained and tire was properly inflated as per car manufacturers recommendations (dot number: ccp9 tiresize: p195/75r14)

Due to the hot weather in phoenix, ceremic caliper? melted to brake and caused the brakes to cease up causing instant loss of brakes, no warning, drove 4 additonal miles to repair shop after hearing loud grinding, repair shop stated that breaks were ceased due to melted component and within miles would have broken off and severed brake line causing instant failure of vehile brakes. this he noted is common to the pymouth voyegar and dodge caraven in the phoenix. since this is a family van, i am only grateful we did not have the kids in the car when complete failure occur. no warning before it happened. seems the ceramic part is manufacturer error if they don't work in hot weather.*ak

Engine stalls when coming to a stop especially in hot weather when air conditioner is on. dangerous because it sometimes happens when making a turn, going through intersections, slowing down for any reason. dealer knew immediately that the problem was a dirty throttle body. however, even with regular cleaning of the throttle body, there is no way to completely prevent this from happening. this occurred once when i was in the middle of a turn on a curvy road leaving me with no steering, power breaks, etc. had a vehicle been approaching, my car would have been broadsided.

We took our plymouth voyager to our dealer with a complaint of a loud "clunk" in the front end. we were informed that our transmission was failing and that it would soon require replacement. we asked if the vehicle was safe to drive as we had to leave on a 400 mile business trip the next day. we were informed that the transmission could fail, but that it would not cause and accident. we then left for our destination. we took it to a mechanic at the destination and he informed us that their was nothing wrong with the transmission, but that the vehicle required immediate repairs to the front ball joints. he said the vehicle was extremely unsafe and should not be driven until repairs were completed. we had him do the repairs. upon removing the front ball joints he showed us that one had probably never been greased since we bought the car. he also said that due to the zerk fitting aiming down it required a special tool to get grease into it and that he had always replaced these poorly designed zerk fittings with angled ones so that they could routinely be greased. the replacement ball joints were equipped with the proper grease fittings which would allow easy maintenance. i took the failed parts to my dealer and was informed that despite my having numerous lubrications and safety checks at their facility that it was not their fault. i disagreed whole heartedly and since have had no further dealings with their department. my question is this..... am i the only plymouth voyager owner out there riding on a vehicle with unserviced ball joints. if it is so difficult to properly lubricate them, how many other people are riding in vehicles that could have disasterous front end failures. why were the improper zerk fittings put into these vehicles in the first place. i feel that a routine inspection of similar plymouth voyagers could show a trend of improper (or zero) maintenance. please investigate this potential safety hazard!

We had the minivan in for the rear latch recall, and in the process the mechanics replaced the chest buckles for both integrated child seats. before, the chest buckles were permanent. now, my children can remove them and take their arms out of the restraints. i am extremely angry about this, as it poses a serious threat to their safety. why did they change these buckles and can they change them back? as a side note, our first 1994 plymouth voyager was totalled when we were flipped by a speeding police car. my ten month old survived because of the built in child restraint with the permanent chest buckle!!!!. *ak

Since initial purchase, vehicle has had a slight shudder when shifting at 35-40 mph. all along i have been told it was normal. apparently this is not the case, as is shown by reviewing customers complaints on your web site. now, the shudder is very pronounced. i respectfully request that a recall be issued to take care of these problems. the normal repair, which has been successful is to replace the torque convertor and shift solenoid block. also, the problem is evidenced by the tsbs that are on shift quality improvement and torque convertor shudder. this problem gets more pronounced with time, and could also relate to problems like engine mounts causing clunking noise when shifting into reverse (mount worn out by continually vibrating (abnormally) at shift speeds). the original selling dealer was butler chrysler/dodge in beaufort, s.c.. i believe it is time for auto manufacturers to be responsible to their consumers and fix problems, not just issue tsbs, and hope no one complains enough to cause a recall. and amazingly enough when they do issue a recall, it just happens to skirt the vehicles with problems reported, such as mileage limit below reported vehicles. please assist in making the auto dealers of america a respectible group again. *ak

Charged $178.15 to install special shield to prevent the problem after the 6th failure. *ak

In last two weeks alone van has stalled 5 times. van is constantly in the shop for stalling. the problem is very intermittent but seems to be more affected by adverse weather. when it rains or snows or there is high humidity i am very concerned that my van will stall. the problem can not be duplicated while it is in the shop. it has even been hosed down to try to get the proper wet conditions that seem to make it stall. i have counted a minimum of 38 reports on your website (listed under different categories, i.e., engine, defroster, brakes, other parts) so i assume this is a major concern. i have stalled on the highway, have stalled while turning right (in front of oncoming traffic) and in most cases it is while i am transportating children, which is why most people purchase a mini-van....to transport children. it is a very uncomfortable situation when you are afraid to drive your vehicle. please advise what was done to correct the problem with the 38 complaints that i have read on your website. i will gladly provide the odi id #'s. feel free to contact me at home. also please be advised that my local dealership has not reported any problems of this nature ??!! i have been dealing with the same service station since i moved to town (14 yrs ago) which is why i continue to go there, i am confortable dealing with same service station. *ak

1994 plymouth voyager transmission failure: this vehicle is garage kept with low-average mileage. in speaking to various other auto groups, mechanics, dealers, apparently this is a common problem in chrysler based minivans. i believe this to be a design defect. specifically the seals in the clutch. apparently, they are designed with very thin sidewalls which degrade quickly, fail, and cause the transmission clutch to lose pressure. chrysler refuses to offer any assistance. a note to the mfg (chrysler): transmissions are not supposed to fail at 59k. i was treated with total disregard when i called the customer center. this is the first & last chrysler product i will purchase. *ak

We have turned our van in for repair of our abs brake light that has come on, the brakes have made loud noises, and it takes the van a little longer to stop. the dates we submitted to car for repair were 9 sep 96, 6 dec 96, 18 jun 98, 20 apr 99, and today 26 nov 99. all past times we were told there was no problem they could see. the brake area was cleaned and that was it. one time we were told it could have been because we didn't have oem brake pads on. the brakes stop very irregularly when the condition happens. sometimes they work perfect, other times the brakes don't catch for a second or two. because it is now winter here in germany where i'm stationed with the army, a couple second brake delay can be dangerous on the icy hills we have here.

Engine stalls at highway speeds. will restart but will run rough the stall again. after setting for 3 to 5 minutes the engine will restart and idol correctly. when the transmition is put into gear the engine will sputter then stall. once the vehicle is moved to level ground and left to idol for 2 or 3 minutes the engine will run fine for awhile. the problem occurs at any any time the engine is under a load when the engine is cold or has been running for awhile. it happens consistantly at highway speeds and after driving 1 to 3 hours. at one time the engine stalled was in heavy traffic at 65 mph creating a traffic hazzard, most of the time this has occured traffic has been light.

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?

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

Door hinge assembly /body cracked, door sags and does not secure easily . brakes failed when applied at 60mph due to cracked pistions and wheel cylinder leak.

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 stalling problem that they wouldn't do anything for us. these are not isolated repair problems and we thank goodness that none of our children, ourselves and others haven't been seriously hurt or killed. the rear window that shattered was kept intact only because we had sun protective film installed. we thought we had been shot at as we were departing an amusement park in los angeles at night and were waiting to turn at an intersection. our twin 4 year old daughters were in the back

3 speed auto trans had complete failure at 59,352 miles. transmission had to be rebuilt by dealer. periodic fuse failure for rear window wiper/washer and air bag system.

Our tranmsission failed after 76000 miles. it has been serviced according to chrysler's recommendations. they were notified but refused to assist in the payment or repair if the tranmission. if they are not going to stand behind their product - they should let everyone know that they make disposible tranmsissions.
