What owners say
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 plymouth grand voyager. The contact stated that the serpentine belt continues to detach and has been replaced seven times. The dealer stated that there is a new kit for this component, however, the contact does not know if her vehicle is under recall. The failure causes coolant not to circulate, causing the engine to overheat, and steering difficulty. The current and failure mileages were 205,374. The consumer provided information from napa regarding the serpentine belts and a repair invoice. Updated 09/05/07
The air bag light lit up, and shortly afterwards, the cruise control and horn stopped working. The dealer advisor called me and said that the clock spring would have to be replaced. A couple hours later, he called me and informed me that the wires in the airbag had overheated and the entire air bag assembly would now have to be replaced. The company reimbursed me last month for the clock spring, which they said was recalled. However, I feel that I should also be reimbursed for the airbag assembly, since it was connected to the clockspring. This is a major safety issue that has affected many other consumers with this same vehicle. The dealer advisor gave us the clock spring as we requested, but said that they could not give us the air bag, since it needed to be sent to chrysler for failure analysis.
Head gasket went bad. The car never overheated so our only clue was a puddle of anti-freeze in the driveway.
Started overheating 12/20/02. Replaced coolant. Coolant leaked out quickly. Taken to mechanic on 12/23-replaced water to drive there, no overheating. Mechanic found badly deteriorated head gaskets,leaking profusely under pressure. Will have van towed to dealership on 12/30/02.
