What owners say
Van caught fire in the engine, on the driver's side, very likely as a result of o ring failure at fuel rails-not part of recall issued on september 9, 1999.
My 2000 chrysler grand voyager's engine burst into flames and almost the whole front end of my car, including my dash board and part of my front seats were burned up. The windshield and the windows on the passenger and driver's side in the front blew out. I suffered from smoke inhalation and did end up going to the emergency room. I also have pulled something in my back and arms that has made my arms from the elbows to the hands go painfully numb and prickly. In addition, I seemed to have caused a hemorrage in my uterus. My period is not due for about a week or a bit more. It is labor day weekend and I haven't been able to see a regular doctor yet. I actually have called the dealer where I purchased the vehicle and they say there aren't any recalls on 2000 grand voyager, they also said they wouldn't sell any vehicle that hadn't had the recall issue taken care of before being put on the lot--also, when I checked on the daimlerchrysler website and put the requested section of VIN numbers into their little checkup box--it said--"no incomplete recalls or customer satisfaction notifications exist."--I have checked the internet in several places before I found this site and found that 2000 grand voyagers with 3.3 l. Engines were part of the recall!!!! The first thing I saw when I stopped the car because of all the smoke was something dripping in flames from the front of the bottom of the engine.
Consumer states vehicle caught on fire while it was parked, insurance said the cause of loss is unknown but the only thing they know is that it was an electrical fire (claim # 40-2413-995).
