What 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Air conditioning system: evaporator was replaced 3 times so far, first time being under 3 year warranty. Service engine light stays on all the time now, even after being diagnosed with "no problems" and being reset. Lately, the windows won't go up and down until the car is stopped and restarted. Same thing with the speedometer and the tachometer. They just "go dead".
1997 plymouth grand voyager windshield wipers start on there own and sometimes cease to funtion when switched on! The wiper wear excessively due to starting on dry glass. Can be a hazard if wipers fail to funtion when needed. *ak had mechanic checked motor and wiring and in formed that it cound be the body control module but it is a defect from the manufacture a new one could result in the same problem at a cost of over $500.00! Checked on internet and found that this seems to be a common problem with this year vehicle
Started when I would take off in first gear, it would vibrate really hard, like a manual transmition does when it needs to down shift. Then I was almost in a collision, when I was stopped on the side of a hill, and went to pull over, and to my surprise I rolled backwards, as if in nutral. My trasmission was gone. After a very large tow bill, and 1500 rebuilt transmission, my dim lights only work when they want to, the passenger window is to the point where it almost wont go up.....there's almost too much more to go on.
Windshield wipers go on and off at random. It can be one time or several times. It is very inconvenient. This has been going on since we purchased the used vehicle in 2000.
Ventilation system only functions on high setting. Also, this has caused poor visibility when trying to defrost the windshield. Dealer has not been able to determine the problem. *ak *ts
Consumer states that while driving in the rain windshield wipers would work intermittently.dealer notified.
Wipers activate when turned off(on sunny days) and do not work in intermittent mode.
While driving on highway left rear passenger window just shattered and popped out of vehicle.
Windshield wipers only works on low speed, and can sometimes lock up.
