The horn on the van was intermittent from nearly the first use. We rarely use it an did not remember to inquire about it over a period of several years whenever we were at the dealership for service. Finally, one time we asked about it and were told that we had a faulty sop module and that it was likely that the driver-side airbag wouldn't function. We wrote to daimler-chrysler and they responded that they wouldn't cover the replacement. Seems ludicrous that a safety device on a new vehicle could be rendered useless and the manufacturer wouldn't step-up to replace it.
1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 53 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This clockspring assembly failed over a period of time, begining in about 2000 with the cruise control failure. This was followed by the airbag failure, as manifested by the airbag check lamp remaining on. Finally, the horn failed to work. I subsequently replaced the clockspring assembly this month, which repaired all the above problems. I have the defective clockspring, and am willing send it to you for analysis if you so desire.
Clock spring failure caused inoperable horn and cruise control and air bag light to stay on. These problems prevented the vehicle to pass utah safety inspection
Horn doesn't work. Took vehicle to dealer, and had clockspring and airbag module replaced. But, problem still exists. Please add VIN.
Consumer noticed liquid dripping on the garage floor and placed a rag under the vehicle, when backing out of the garage the rag attached to the axel and consumer noticed that he did not have brakes and was notified by passers-by that his car was on fire, comments from the adjuster is engine wiring harness damaged heavily and brake sensor wire burned up, no signs of a rag or anything (claim # 42-1330-502).
Air bag light on the instrument panel is illuminated and will not go off. Cruise control feature fails to operate, and horn does not work. Dealership examined vehicle and determined clockspring assembly in the steering column has failed, and was causing these problems. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
While driving at 65 MPH cruise control and horn stopped working, consumer not sure about airbag light. Dealer replaced clock spring assembly. *ak
Vehicle being driven normally at highway speed. Detected fire coming from under vehicle. When stopped, engine still running and flames engulfed vehicle from under front portion just rear of engine compartment, quickly spreading to rear and interior.
I have contacted chrysler and they paid for the ignition and the manifold gasket replacement. They paid $1,000 of the transmission failure. The total bill for the transmission failure was $2500.
Had let vehicle idle a while before moving. Shifted into reverse & started to back out. Engine stalled out. No prior warning. Took to dealer 1st time & had map sensor replaced. 2nd time throttle sensor was replaced. 3rd time control module. 4th time mechanic took engine apart & found wires under the hood had melted together & all the electrical wires needed replacing. This was due to the wires being too close to the exhaust system.
While driving on the highway vehicle would die out/stall without prior warning. Has happened 3 times in 2 weeks. Contacted dealership & was informed engine needed new spark plugs & wires, which were replaced. However, problem still exists. Contacted manufacturer & informed consumer to take vehicle back to dealership.
The vehicle is experiencing a loss of power steering,A/C,and the electrical system.also, engine belt needs to be replaced. Dealer has replaced engine belt 3 times. The problem has happened 5 times.
Due to an electrical shortage within the system, the ABS warning light reamains illuminated, as well as the air bag warning light. The door locks do not lock and other malfunctions occur. Please give any further details.
