I own a 1993 plymouth grand voyager le 3.3l v6 that has a problem with stalling. It is very dangerous and has occurred several times while driving on the freeway. It seems to happen only after the engine has reached operating temperature and while of either apply the brakes or sitting at a dead stop. Several mechanic shops have not been able to diagnose the problem or simply do not know what the cause is. After doing research into this matter, I have found that several plymouth grand voyager owners have had these same exact problems. The fuel pump and filter have been changed and various sensors as well. This is a hazard not only to myself and my family, but to all other drivers that may be on the road and around my vehicle when this occurs. With the number of reports that I have seen, I think that daimler/chrysler should check into this problem, issue a recall, and fix this problem before someone gets hurt or possible killed.

What owners say
The engine makes noise, will not start and stalls intermittently, dealers is unable to locate and fix the problem. Nlm
Over charging of AC system,causes transmission/tires and engine to lock.this is an extreme hazard to passangers of both vehicles, and any other on coming vehicle. Plus it can be used by dealers to sell transmissionsions.it causes premature tire failure. And extreme loss of control on turns.it is also a hazard on any vehicles with the same system.I've spoken to two dealers and two local car mechanics.who could not solve my problem.until the A/C system failed,and the A/C tech knew what was causing the problem.my vehicle would stall half way through a turn(routinely),all four wheels (all wheel drive)would lock up at 65mph on the interstate.I've never had a set of tires last longer than about twenty thousand miles. All three dealers my vehicle was serviced at since it was new, never addressed the problem.
After leaving san diego 06/24/1999 in route to phoenix az. My family and I had 5 highspeed engine shutdowns at 70 plus MPH. Causing braking and steering failure.after several attempts of restarting engine it would restart after approximitaly 5 minutes. The weather was hot at about 110 and this accured at about 3:pm . We finally made it to our destination and spent the night. Next morning took van to independent repair facility and they could not reproduce stalling. They mentioned vapor lock ? Kept traveling to next destination which was going to be in new mexico and highspeed stalling accured again between phoenix and flagstaff.returned to phoenix and went to plymouth dealership { petre dealership}.they ran several tests and thought it was the o2 sensor and dirty throttle plates. 480$ later back on road heading for flagstaff az. Highspeed shutdown again about 60 to 80 miles into trip.decided to try to make it to flagstaff az. And experienced one more shut down before arriving. Next morning took van to flagstaff dealership for further diagnoses but could not get van in untill next day because of volume of business. Said most likely cause was malfunctioning fuel pump after showing him the repair work from phoenix. Advised keeping fuel tank full and proceed to next distination of albuquerque n.m.. Took advise because we were on time schedule and made it to within 20 miles of destination and van did another highspeed shutdown on downgrade almost causing loss of control . Stayed night in albuquerque nm and found dealership {zangara dodge ) open on sat. Gave history of events and they replaced fuelpump and fuel pump harness. No other shutdowns accured on rest of trip to illinois and back to california.
Vehicle jerks intermittently at highway speeds, causing the vehicle to stall and die. The dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem.
