Visibility: windshield wiper/washer: linkages
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: minivans. The left hand windshield wiper pivot drive arm was not mechanically staked to the pivot shaft.
- Risk
- This could allow the drive arm to disengage from the shaft leading to a loss of wiper function. The driver's visibility would be impaired, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the left hand side windshield wiper pivot assembly.
Recall number 99V189000 · Recall details
Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger mini-vans. Covers on the solid stalk mounted seat belt buckles can become dislodged causing the release button to stick inside the cover. The buckle would then be only partially latched.
- Risk
- In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a cover retaining clip to the stalk mounted buckle cover to prevent dislocation of the buckle cover.
Recall number 97V148000 · Recall details
Seat belts: front: anchorage
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger mini-vans. The center rear seat, right outboard side, safety belt anchor hook can become unattached from the body anchor position.
- Risk
- In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
- Remedy

Recall number 97V149000 · Recall details
Structure: body: hatchback/liftgate: support device/strut
- What is wrong
- The bolts used to attach the strut to the body and the rear liftgate can accumulate fatigue damage if three factors combine. If the bolt is loose, the gas strut is over-pressurized, and the frequency of opening and closing cycles is higher than for the average customer, the bolt can fail.
- Risk
- Personal injury could occur if the bolts break allowing the liftgate to fall suddenly.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect for loose fasteners, if the fasteners are loose, the strut (and integral bolts) will be replaced. If the bolt shows evidence of torque, the bolt will be removed, larger washers will replace the existing washer and the bolt will be reinstalled and hand tightened to the target torqued.
Recall number 97V079000 · Recall details
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
- What is wrong
- The steering wheel armature stamping can crack and separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column.
- Risk
- If the steering wheel separates from the center hub attachment to the steering column, loss of control can occur increasing the risk of an accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for armature cracks in the center hub attachment area. Any steering wheels showing cracks will be replaced. All other vehicles will have a reinforcement plate installed to prevent steering wheel separation in the event cracking occurs.
Recall number 96V229000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- What is wrong
- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Risk
- If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.

Steering wheel separation
After an extensive investigation and analysis, chrysler has identified the defect as a fatigue failure, origination in the heat affected region of the projection welds of the steering wheel hub to steering wheel armature attachment.the hub is the portion of the steering wheel assembly that connects it to the steering column shaft and is attached to the underside of the steering wheel assembly by 4 welds.if cracks develop in the heat affected region of the welds and propagate through the steering wheel armature to each of the welds, the steering wheel can separate from the hub.this is a slow progressive failure which normally occurs at high mileage.in some cases complainants have reported a looseness or wobbling of the steering wheel prior to separation.to remedy this defect, chrysler will inspect the steering wheels of the affected vehicles for cracks in the hub area.if any cracks are found, the steering wheel will be replaced.all other vehicles will have reinforcing plates installed which would prevent a steering wheel separation should cracking occur.

Liftgate latches
Liftgate latches in the subject vehicles have failed in low and moderate speed impacts resulting in occupant ejections, injuries, and fatalities.there are two failure modes associated with latch failure: fork bolt-detent lever bypass, and inertial unlatching.the federal safety agency analyses of chrysler and peer minivans took the form of static and dynamic crash testing, engineering evaluations, complaint and field analyses, and real world data analyses.a technical report discussing these analyses can be found in the engineering analysis technical report in the public viewing file.chrysler has advised the federal safety agency that it will conduct a campaign to replace the latches on all the subject vehicles.the chrysler campaign will consist of notification letters to all owners; free replacement of all latches with stronger, safer latches regardless of the age of the minivans; national advertising to promote customer awareness of the campaign; quarterly reports regarding campaign completion rates; as well as additional measures to ensure a high completion rate, above and beyond the actions that normally would be taken in a formal safety recall.these include follow up written and telephonic notifications to owners who do not bring their vehicles in for corrective action.the federal safety agency firmly believes that the crash performance of the latches on these minivans raises serious safety concerns, and that the campaign addresses these concerns.the chrysler corrective action will increase the strength of the liftgate latches and decrease the potential for inertial unlatching, thereby reducing the risk of crash-related openings of the liftgate and possible occupant ejection through the liftgate opening.owners of chrysler minivans will get a stronger, safer latch free of charge at the earliest possible time, without the need for further technical investigation and complex and time-consuming litigation with an uncertain outcome.based on the above, odi is closing this investigation.

What 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This van is affected by the 96v099000 the federal safety agency recall, however when inquiring about getting the ABS motor replaced at a local dealership I was told that the parts are no longer made to fix this issue. I believe that chrysler has a duty to fix the brakes on this vehicle as directed by the federal safety agency, parts obsolescence does not absolve them from responsibility or the federal safety agency. If the parts are no longer available I request that chrysler purchase the van back from me and have it destroyed, fix the brakes according to the recall or convert the brakes to the non-ABS type. I do not understand how chrysler and the federal safety agency could allow bendix (the manufacturer of this rather problematic brake system) to stop making a lifetime replacement part. This issue causes the power assist to stop working, creates a hard pedal which makes it impossible to drive the vehicle safely. This creates a condition worse than a vehicle with all manual brakes that have no power / vacuum assist to begin with, when test driving the vehicle it takes both feet planted firmly on the pedal to stop it. As I have not gotten a satisfactory solution that was mandated and enforced by the federal safety agency, I look forward to your prompt reply in this matter.
While driving at approximately 40 MPH, the spare tire fell from under the van.
Experienced hard brake pedal (lose of braking) and brake / ABS lights illuminated on the dash board. This was the second failure in the last two years after approximately 14,000 miles of operation since the last repair and for at least the fourth time since we have owned this vehicle (bought new). Previous repair involved replacement of brake accumulator, dual pressure switch, brake actuator piston assembly, and the pump motor assembly, the last two of which are subject to a lifetime recall. Dealer refuses to repair/replace warranted parts without agreement that other parts are replaced at a cost of approximately $900. Given that it is likely that warranted part failures are leading to the failure of the other components and that the last repair only lasted for 14,000 mile we requested that chrysler cover the entire repair. Chrysler refused. In addition, it has been our experience that each time we have had the brake system fail, it has included the need to replace other brake system components beyond the parts subject to the lifetime recall. Thus it would appear that the lifetime recall should have been expanded to cover all of the components impacted by the failure of the warranted components.
Tl* the contact owns a 1992 plymouth grand voyager. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 MPH, there was a loud noise coming from the vehicle. After pulling over she noticed that the fuel rail was fractured and partially hanging from the vehicle. In addition, the sliding passenger side door would sporadically come off track and could not be closed properly. The door was closed using a cord. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they advised her that they would have to take the door apart for realignment. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance, stating that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 1992 plymouth grand voyager. While driving at 35 MPH, the contact attempted to use the brakes but the vehicle did not slow down. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealership but no repairs were performed at the time of the complaint because the parts were no longer available. The contact referenced recall 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock) as she felt it was related to the failure. The current and failure mileages were 196,555.
Two weeks ago the ABS and brake lights came on in my 1992 plymouth grand voyager mini-van. At that moment there was no hydraulic brake pressure and it was very difficult to control the van. The van was towed to my regular, independent repair shop and they checked the condition and their diagnostic computer issued a coded error. I discovered that this ABS brake was covered under an extended warranty by chrysler. I took the van to a nearby chrysler dealer and they checked. The ABS light and brake light were out at this time and the dealer charged for one hour, gave me list of parts they considered may need to be replaced and verbally said it may cost about $400 or more to fix. They did not assure me that a warranty would apply.
My ABS light came on and a few days later my master cylinder failed resulting in no breaks. I was able to get to the side of the road for a tow. I have paid to get repairs completed. Chrysler tells me my car is not covered by recall. I dispute this. Recall # 96v099000.
Transmission is leaking from front pump seal and from what I have been told all of the caravan,voyager and town & country's do this because they were not designed correctly.
