Affected component: body control module the bcm controls the following: wipers, fuel pump, vehicle power and much more. During a rainy day in oregon ciry oregon, the bcm failed. The car was moving into a parking lot at less than 20 MPH. In the parking lot was a police vehicle. When the bcm failed, the vehicle lost fuel pressure and therefore engine power then power braking, power steering and the wiper control went erradic. I managed to get the vehicle stopped, narrowly missing the police vehicle. I had no power brakes, no power steering, and the wipers stopped. The bcm was to blame. Had this occurred at highway speeds, I don't like to think what may have happened!!!

So far this vehicle has been a lemon. I have replaced everything on it, from fuel pump, sensors, steering column, belt tensioner and pulley, alternator, wiper switch that seems to have a mind of its own even tho I replaced a new switch. Now more electrical problems. The instrument cluster is now messed up. Abs light and check engine light keep coming on all my gauges go flat. Lights go dim. Then suddenly lights will flash and they will all come back on. Then go off again. Now, not only do they go flat but now I have a shifting problem. The vehicle will not shift. It seems to be stuck in 2nd gear. I replaced the whole braking system. Egr valve, cam sensor, cruise control, the body. The gas pedal use to accelerate on its own. That was a little scary goin down the road not knowing when it was gonna do that. Everyone who rides with me keeps joking as if the vehicle is haunted. Lights go weak, I've replaced all the bulbs cleaned the headlights. Nothing seems to work right on this vehicle. I've already invested thousands. Way more then its worth. I've had problems where the vehicle just refuses to start. Sometimes not a problem. Then usually in the cold it wont turn over at all. I have replaced the battery numerous times checked for codes. Airbag light would come on. Transmission hesitates. Sometimes vehicle shudders acts like its gonna quit.vehicle just has on going problems.

Van was bought privately in summer of 2008. During the first road trip with the voyager, the transmission went and was replaced with a rebuild transmission. In september of that same year, fuel pump and battery had to be replaced. Two months later, head gasket blew, was repaired but damage to engine was unknown. In winter of 2008, repeated problems with oil & brake fluid leaking out from calipers. Brakes always needed some type of work: pads, drums, bearings, calipers. In 2009, water pump had to be replaced, yet van still felt hotter then what it read. Exhaust started coming through the passenger side vents .it was repaired, but started again. Found hoses getting holes burnt through, and needed to be repaired. In 2010, replaced headlights, but night time illumination was still poor, even with high beams on. Battery needed to be jump started more & more, and an excessive amount of battery acid had to be removed from a terminal. The battery actually looked like it had been burnt. More leaks found caused by holes through hoses. Yet again, the water pump had to be replaced in july. Then in october 2010, things got very scary, the serpentine belt fell off for the first time while driving about 10km, while turning up into the driveway. I couldn't complete the turn due to the loss of power steering and was almost hit head on by oncoming traffic. The belt was put back on. 2 days later the belt fell off again, & again. Mechanic replaced belt and parts, drove around like crazy & thought problem was fixed. 6 weeks after, serpentine belt falls off again while driving at night, during a snow storm, on a canadian rocky mtn highway, with full electrical shut down of van, limited cell phone service, and our 4 small children. This incident was extremely unsafe, dangerous, scary, and expensive! 3 weeks later, head gasket blows again, and the van is done.

Tl* the contact owns a 1994 plymouth grand voyager. The contact was driving approximately 55 MPH when the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle as it operated as normal. The failure began to recur intermittently so the vehicle was taken to various independent repair facilities where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The fuel pump was replaced but the failure continued to recur intermittently. The failure mileage was 200,000 and the current mileage was unavailable.

I own a 1993 plymouth grand voyager le 3.3l v6 that has a problem with stalling. It is very dangerous and has occurred several times while driving on the freeway. It seems to happen only after the engine has reached operating temperature and while of either apply the brakes or sitting at a dead stop. Several mechanic shops have not been able to diagnose the problem or simply do not know what the cause is. After doing research into this matter, I have found that several plymouth grand voyager owners have had these same exact problems. The fuel pump and filter have been changed and various sensors as well. This is a hazard not only to myself and my family, but to all other drivers that may be on the road and around my vehicle when this occurs. With the number of reports that I have seen, I think that daimler/chrysler should check into this problem, issue a recall, and fix this problem before someone gets hurt or possible killed.

My 1991 plymouth grand voyager has had so many problems. I have had to replace the whole exhaust system, the transmission, put in a new fuel pump, a new radiator, now it failed an emissions test and I was smelling fuel when I was driving only to find out my fuel rail is leaking or should I say squirting as onto the engine, which almost resulted in a fire had I had been smart enough to check it out. Now the shop where I had to have it towed since it was unsafe to drive says you can only get the part from a dealer which costs 319.00 and that does not include labor.

The vehicle will miss or turn off at random . Both when it is stopped or in motion at speed. The tachometer will fluctuate erratically or simply drop to zero. As of yet there has not been an accident (thanks in part to the alertness of other drivers). The dealer has taken numerous readings and exchanged numerous parts, including plugs and wires, control modules, neutral switch and fuel pump and filter etc. Still has the problem.
