1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When van was hit by another vehicle, on the passenger's side at a high rate of speed, there was no deployment of the passenger's front air bag. Also, horn does not work, remote entry on driver's side door does not work, air bag warning light stays on, fuel gauges does not work, A/C heater blink on and off,inside dome light blinks on and off, steering column freezes, cruise control works on and off.
Air bag light comes / cruise control fails to work, and horn cannot be used. Problem happens only when engine starts, and is intermittent. *ak the cruise control and the horn failures caused by clock spring assembly and was replaced.
Horn, airbag, and cruise control inoperable
While driving at highway speeds and trying to pass another vehicle, engine revs, and the accelerator has to be released before the transmission catches up. Dealer has been contacted, says this condition is normal. *ak
The cruise-control caused the vehicle to accelerate well past the set speed and could usually only be reset by shutting off the engine. The service dept. (mckinney dodge, easley s.c.) believes the cause to be bent accelerator and speed control cables. If so, the design must be defective as the only work ever done near this area of the engine compartment was replacement of the battery several months ago. Whether the cables were bent during the battery replacement, during manufacture, or somewhere in between, the tight radius of these cables without any protection would seem to be a major design flaw. With the accelerator stuck, stopping the vehicle is difficult (particularly trying to keep the brakes from fading out) and ultimately requires the engine to be shut off.
While foot is on brake pedal, the vehicle surges forward almost causing a collision.
