Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at any speed and with out warning vehicle stalled in the middle of the highway. This problem occurred three times. Each time dealer examined the vehicle, but could not resolve the problem.
While driving over water the water splashed under the hood, and the serpentine belt came off. This occurred on two occasions. Vehicle lost power steering, and had to be towed to the dealer.
Two failures; one @ 24000 miles. Engine rebuilt. Now, @ 75000 miles, it has again failed!!
We purchased the vehicle because it only had 21,486 at three years old and they called it certified. When the air conditioning went out they refused to even reimburse us part of it because we did not have the extended warranty. We have the powertrain a this point until 70,000 miles. We have had engine knocking, which our mechanic added an additive to and seemed to go away but now at the end of august seems to be returning. The tires were terrible at what seemed to us to be low mileage. We had sensors that went and caused the transmission to downwshift so our mechanic repaired. We have submitted that one bill to chrysler because it turns out it was a powertrain issue on that. We have not received reimbursement yet. When the brakes went metal to metal totally without warning on august 23 we began to wonder if our odometer had been turned back before we bought it but are now thinking it is just a very cheap,shoddy vechicle and we are so sorry we have bought it and wasted this much money on it. We went back to the dealer, suncoast chrysler plymouth when the air went out and they refused to do anything. We went back again to the general manager at the end of august trying to find a way to get out of this and get our money back or at the very least help with the extremely expensive brake repair and they said there is nothing they can do. The engine does not sound good now so we are expecting anything to happen next.
While driving at 45 MPH, the steering wheel began to get stiff. The vehicle had to be towed. *ak tsb#090600. During heavy rain, the consumer lost the ability to steer and applied the brakes to avoid a collision. When the consumer checked under the hood, he saw that the serpentine belt had come completely off. The dealer told the consumer that this was a common problem due to the manufacturer removing the shield that would have prevented the incident. *scc
Problems with vehicle's battery, master cylinder, tensioner, air conditioner and serpentine belt.*mr the main problem was the air conditioner. All the expenses were very frustrating, especially with low mileage. In addition, consumer felt the extended warranty for 2001, 2002, and 2003 voyagers with air conditioner problems, should've been extended to 2000 voyagers. *ph
