Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: mini vans equipped with 2-spoke luxury wheels manufactured july 1992 through june 1993; or equipped with 4-spoke sport wheels manufactured from july 1992 through september 1993. 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 cracks and any wheels with 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 00V305000 · Recall details
Structure: body: hatchback/liftgate: hinge and attachments
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: mini vans. 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 99V213000 · Recall details
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
Air bags
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: mini vans. The wiring that initiates the driver and/or passenger air bag could electrically short circuit to ground. A short circuit to ground that exists immediately after turning the ignition key to the "on" or "start" position can cause the air bag(s) to inadvertently deploy.
- Risk
- Inadvertent air bag deployment can injure a front seat occupant.
- Remedy
- Dealers will perform an electronic diagnostic check. Any short circuits identified in either the driver's or passenger side air bag initiator wire circuit will be repaired.
Recall number 99V113000 · 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.

Recall number 97V149000 · 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.

Defect investigations
Steering column separation
Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the federal safety agency by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that agencyfurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), the federal safety agency has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.a review of odi's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.therefore, the petition is denied.for details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.

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.

Abs hydraulic accuator pump failed again. Was repaired for free in 1999. I paid for the accumalotor, which fails due to the leaky brake pump. Chrysler is delaying or denying repair on lifetime warranty due to recall.
Brakes have no power assist due to ABS pump failure, as diagnosed by putnam chrysler on 3/29/13. Dealer contacted chrysler regarding recall 685. Part was said to be on back order. Owner has contacted chrysler and dealer numerous times to no avail. Latest report (11/7/13) from chrysler is that the part was sent to dealer and message left for owner at some unrecognized phone number. Latest report from dealer, also 11/7/13, is that repair has already been done, which is not correct. Dealer rep was to research and call owner back. No call back.
Tl* the contact owns a 1993 plymouth grand voyager. The contact stated that as he was braking to a stop, the brake pedal abnormally traveled to the floorboard causing an increase in stopping distance. The contact was able to stop the vehicle as he continued to apply the brakes. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number: 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock), stating that the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall but the failure still existed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who performed the recall repairs. The contact left the vehicle with the dealer and stated that the vehicle was not repaired correctly. The manufacturer was notified who advised that they would give him a return call. The failure mileage was 243,067.

Tl*the contact owns a 1993 plymouth grand voyager. The contact stated that it is very difficult to depress the brake pedal in his vehicle. He has to use all of his strength to get them to work. In addition, the ABS pump is running and will not shut off. The ABS lights and brake lights are currently illuminated. The rear wiper on the rear hatch has been replaced four times at the cost of $350. The wiper currently needs to be replaced again. Within six months of having the vehicle repaired, the failure recurred. The driver's side door is falling off the hinges and the door was repaired once before with a used door. The door currently needs to be repaired or replaced again. At 81,000 miles, the transmission had to be replaced due to shift bump behavior; however, the failure still persists.

The ABS system failed three times on 4/15/08. The vehicle is a plymouth grand voyager, 1993. I almost hit a car that was turning in front of me. Then the ABS and parking brake lights lit up on the dash board. I barely made it home without hitting anything and parked my car in the garage. When I went out a few minutes later to take it to a mechanic nearby, the brake pedal dropped when I turned the key to start the car. The brakes were mushy until I got it to the mechanic. He confirmed the problem is with the ABS system and that it was covered under the recall. The byers chrysler dealership now has the car and is claiming they cannot reproduce the problem and will not replace the ABS until they can. I do not want to kill myself or anyone else with a braking system that may fail at any time.
