1993 Plymouth Voyager engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 55, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine failure.
The transmission failure nearly caused by wife to be in an accident trying to get the van to the side of the road. My understanding is these types of failures are common, though chrysler is not admitting it. In addition, the mounts holding the transmission in place also required replacement. Previously the engine mount on the van failed. Failure of the transmission and motor mounts pose a serious safety concern for riders of the vehicle. The other failures, though costly and time consuming to repair, did not seem to pose a major safety risk.
While attempting to change lanes in traffic, the steering lost control causing the vehicle to spin 3 times and face oncoming traffic, another time the steering lost control was when the vehicle was cut off by another vehicle , consumer received recall 00v‑305, however the dealer stated that the recall had nothing to do with the loss of steering control.
Defective head valve cover gasket and engine cylinder rear head gasket cause a major oil leak which may result in a fire if there is a source of ignition. Please provide further information.
No summary
The main concern is the transmission, not under warranty that cost $2500 to fix. The fusable link for the A/C actually burned, smoke was emitted (and also when the fan motor burned on the engine system). These are road hazards when the vehicle stops functioning with no warning.
Belt tensioner broke and fell off, this makes the vehicle difficult to control.
While driving at various speeds, usually during times of deceleration engine will stall, causing shut down of all systems. This has occurred on the highway as well as during city driving. I have taken it to the dealer and all they tell me is it must do it while their monitoring it to troubleshoot it.
You name it, it has broken. The rear wiper motor quit in the middle of use. When it rains and I turn right, the whole van just stops. Right now, can't turn right without constant noise and jerking. Have had the front axle replaced 4 times. Something keeps tearing it up. I was told motor mounts, but that is expensive to replace. I was also told the engine, the transmssion, the wheels. I get different stories from each person. Can't contact plymouth manufacturer. Car stalls between gears then jerks into next gear. People at dodge place where I bought van are not nice, and won't even look at vehicle without charging 50.00. They overcharge for everything. Wish the thing would blow up so I could get a different vehicle, and not lose so much money. Many, many problems with this year make and model. Know many people with exact problem. Manufacturer needs to replace at his cost!!! I do not know all the names of exact components to place on questionnaire to give more help. I would be happy to discuss this case with anyone.
Vehicle loses power at deceleration.
While the vehicle was parked in the garage a fire started in the engine compartment, resulting in the vehicle and the house burning out. Please give any further details.

Engine failure.
Transmission failed, serpentine belt failed, support rod to hatch failed causing injury to consumer when hatch fell on head.
Intermittently while driving the van in rainy weather, it loses all power. This has happened 8 times in the last year and 6 months, mostly when making a right hand turn. On may 10, 1998, this happened while driving on the highway in heavy traffic with vehicles moving slowly due to heavy rain. The dealer has not been able to determine what causes this to happen.
While driving vehicle, came upon a stop sign, steering wheel locked up & lost steering control. Could not move steering wheel. Had vehicle towed to dealer & informed belt tensioner bent & large belt had fallen off.
Rear hatch bolt broke, allowing hatch to fall suddenly. There has been a recall on this particular component on other models, however consumers vehicle does not meet the guidelines.
When ever turning around corners in venicle, the vehicle would stall or die out. It would occur sometimes in traffic. Took to dealer to check and could not find the problem.
