What owners say
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.
When driving at low speed vehicle jumps and hesitates. Dealer stated transmission needed to be replaced.
There is no heat or air conditioning coming through the vents. Vehicle was hesitating, and the gears were slipping. Dealership was aware of problem.
Multiple electrical problems/repairs including 3 alternators/ 12 wire harness/ 3 map sensors/ 1 o2 sensor, and main computer replacement. Still being serviced to correct problem of stalling out/hesitating all described as driveability problem.
Transmission - shudders/vibrates/hesitates when upshifting from 1-2 gears. A/c compressor, starter and/or ignition, and cruise control are having problems or quit working all at about the same time
Auto transmission failure? Couple of times my van hesitated to drive when I put gear in drive position . Today, it happened again and after it started to move, it did not go faster than 35 miles speed. My van is only 5 years old and this should not suppose to happen to any major components. Please advise if this is common problem with all1996 voyegers. Do many owners have same complaints? I have friends told me that this a common problem of automatic transimmision with all 1996 models. If that is so than chrysler should fix it without charge to me.is there any secret warranty or good wili policy or service campaign exists? Please advise soon. Also many times, transmission indicator does not show the positon of d or r when shifted to d or r position. All positons stay lit. So its difficult to judge if you are in drive or reverse position. Also the cylinoid makes loude noise. I told many times to dealer during warranty period and they told me that is normal. But I don't think so. I have checked other same model and their cylinoid don't make that kind of noise.what are the facts?
