Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Crossover pipe connecting manifold to exhaust developed a hole back in august 2004. Part was ordered from chrysler dealer end of august, have not received it yet. *bf the consumer was told that there were 1300 crossover pipes on back order and chrysler was redesigning the part. The consumer wanted to know if there was any danger of exhaust fumes coming into the vehicle while driving or idling. The consumer would like to know if there should be a recall since there appears to be an inordinate number of parts on back order.
While driving vehicle shut down. Consumer was unable to restart vehicle. Lights appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer had the vehicle towed to dealer for inspection. Consumer informed mechanic that this problem occurred more than once and had not been resolved.
Serpentine belt broke on the way home from work. Belt broke 2 other times also. Car was into dealer on 12/10/03 for this and knocking noise. They fixed knocking noise but did not look at belts. On 2/11/03 the belt tensioner was replaced by firestone. The new on looks nothing like the original but the belts have not broken since.
Main crankshaft seal failing about every 60,000 miles. Loss off motor oil, can be an enviromental problem and cause engine failer. Was fixed when under warranty. It was in the shop 4 times before it was fixed. Has happend again at 176,978 miles.
My wife was driving our 2000 ply.grand voyager,she heard a loud noise,steering was extremely difficult for her.she got it parked.when I arrived I found the belt tensioner had fallen off,the mounting bolt had sheared off.upon that happening it broke the plastic power steering pulley.obviously this design and part are not up to standard.this part should be made better,3 years for a tensioner is not enough considering everything is run off of this belt,loss of power steering being a safety concern.
While driving the bolt that holds the serpentine belt tentioning pulley shears off causing it to spring into the engine compartment. This causes lack of power steering, increased pressure needed for braking. This part may break fuel lines brake lines or struts, it may also lead to motor damage. My mechanic said that the bolt shears off periodicly with no warning even though chyrsler company has no tsb for this part.
While driving the vehicle leaked oil.
Consumer states that while driving at any speed and without any warning the engine will start racing and it will be hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. Dealer has been notified. Ts while in motion the vehicle emitted a loud whining noise followed by evident t jerking and lurching. The transmission intermittently locks in gear and will not shift.
Two serpentine belts have broken within a month. Dealer notified. *ak when the serpentine belt failed for the third time, the dealer replaced the entire tensioner assembly and no problem has occurred since then.
Serpentine belt broke, and without prior warning vehicle shut off. There were no lights or power . Vehicle had to be towed. Dealership was aware of problem.
