Plymouth Grand Voyager won't start problems

Filed Sep 9, 2014 · Engine · 170,000 miles · AL

Engine would start and run a few seconds and then go dead. Engine would restart and run very rough for a few seconds and continue to go dead. Eventually engine would not start. Checked power at coil and there would be power for a second when switch was turned on and then auto shutdown relay clicks and power is lost to coil. Replaced crank sensor and put a computer from same model van in and still will not start. No codes on scan tool. There is fuel pressure on the fuel rail.

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.

I have a 98 plymouth voyager, for the last couple of months I have had problems with this car, the dashboard keeps going out while I'm driving-I have punched the dashboard while I'm driving and sometimes that have made everything light back up, I have pulled over to the side of the road at night and almost got into a accident because of this problem; it even happens when the car is off, when this happens the car starts and than shuts right back off, than the car doesn't start at all, I have replaced the starter,ignition box,alternator and other things. My car is now stranded in a different neighborhood than mine. The other problem is the fanbelt keeps coming off, I have been driving with my kids in the car in the rain and it has falling off, another time it happened I was going over a train bridge down a hill with my kids in the car and I had to force the car into a near bye school parking lot. I have went to the dealership and they said they didn't know anything about a kit supplied by chrysler to help prevent this from happening and they said there was no recall on this problem, this is a very dangerous situation, please help me!

At 600 miles, instrument cluster failed, A/C not working, no reverse. Dealer replaced instrument cluster, could not duplicate the no reverse condition, and replaced the A/C fuse. At 6,363 miles, transmission slipping and scraping noise when turning left in reverse. Dealer could not duplicate. At 7,586 miles, no start condition on numerous occasions, after the dealer had the van for over a week, they finally duplicated the problem and and replaced the starter. At 36,141 miles the serpentine belt broke because of a defective tensioner pulley, dealer replaced the belt and tensioner, supposed goodwill, but we all know about the tsb, and all the other complaints. At 36,741 miles, leaking coolant, dealer replaced the rear head gasket, and did not even check the front head. (now who ever heard of replacing one head gasket on a v-6 motor, I guess chrysler must think they are superior). At 53,000 complete engine failure, 2 hours away from home, and now waiting to see what the cause is. According to the service manager the motor is knocking and there is a lot of metal in the oil. And I forgot to mention that this vehicle has not even fulfilled the lease term. Nlm

On various occasions since the first week of ownership of the vehicle the speedometer and temperature guage have simultaneously dropped to zero and the fluctuated between 0 & 85 MPH, dealer was contacted and they kept the van to investigate, nothing found, they then hooked up a computer reader that I drove with for 10 days, as sthis incident only happened sporadically and I had to hit a button when it did nothing was reported. When travelling at anywhere from 10 to 65mph it is sometimes quite dangerous to takes your eyes off the road and your hand off the steering wheel to hit the button of an attachment on your visor..! This incident had continued to occur over the past year and now in the middle of a hurricane I have attempted to evacuate my children from the area only to find that my vehicle will not start. The dealership sent somebody to assist and due to the weather conditions he told me to keep the car running all day as he did not feel that this was a battery problem but computer related,particularly after I told him about the strange happenings with the speedo etc. The van ran for about 3.5 hours on my driveway and then died...! The local chrysler dealership is coming to pick it up tomorrow morning.
