What owners say
Own a 98 plymouth voyager expresso that intermittently will not crank or will crank and immediately go dead. All dash lights flicker or go out, no fuel indicator, no speedometer. Has died while driving it once which was very dangerous and scary. Failure occurs periodically and is dangerous and vehicle is no longer dependable. Have had numerous things replaced bcm, starter, wiring harness, sensors etc. Problem continues to come back eventually. Has to be a chrysler defect. I had one dealership deny awareness of a problem with that year minivan and some say "you can try this for 1,000 dollars but it may only work for awhile. This should fall under the lemon law most repairs made only lasted a few months. No repairs have lasted more than a year. Please help...I love my vehicle otherwise but have no money to make further repairs or to buy a new vehicle. I started having this problem in october of 2006 and have been dealing with this off and on ever since. My van will not crank now and I have only had the latest bcm since october 2008.
Dt*: the contact stated that the wiring harness for the airbags was causing a electrical issue that shorted out the ignition switch. There no events that lead up to the failure. The vehicle stalled and lost all power to the dashboard. There was no accident.
Dt: the contact stated vehicle stalls when idling followed by the engine dying. The vehicle restarts after several attempts. He took the vehicle to an independent repair shop. The repair shop cleaned the throttle body and the fuel injection system. This did not correct the problem. No further repairs have been made at this time.
Chrysler/plymouth/dodge dealer replaced transmission cooling hoses and clamps using clamps as per chrysler service bulletin 07-006-1. The federal safety agency technical service bulletin 632201 refers. Clamp part number 04596424aa came lose while traveling on I-65 going through louisville,ky causing the auto to stall. All the transmission fluid was blown onto the auto and engine compartment. Fortunately I was able to manuver to a place out away from the flow of heavy traffic. The auto was towed and repaired three days later. Failed parts are retained by me.
I bought the van used in late sept. 2002 with 22,000 miles on it. Did not buy ext. Warranty. By the time I used the 1.AC in the spring it didn't work, warranty was expired. Replaced compressor, not at the dealer, then found out evaporator was bad too. No more money,still driving with no AC. 2. Horn didnt work. I paid to fix it. 3. Have replaced brakes twice in 3 years. Abs light was on for 6 months then went off. 4. Intermittent problem ..door locks go up and down by themselves, while there are bells dinging, and the interior lights flash on and off all at the same time. Look like some kind of christmas tree on wheels going down the road. Unable to duplicate for the dealer. Not fixed. 5. Six times in the last week van has stalled. 5 when turning and once while at a stoplight. Unable to duplicate for the dealer. Not fixed. 6. While there for the stalling, had them look at the recall for airbag because the light stays on longer than all the others, they said it was fine and didn't need to be fixed..... These are a few of the things I can remember. I will also remember not to buy another chrysler.
In late june of 2004 vechicle had stalled while driving for no apperent reason and would not start. The emc was replaced. Five months later it repeated the same problem... All wiring has been checked emc replaced, coil pack replaced, crank shaft sensor replaced and the dealership cannot find the problem after 6 weeks.
When coming to a stop the vehicle had to be placed in park so it wouldn't stall. *nm the engine emitted smoke.
While driving 15 MPH and turning vehicle stalled. Consumer was able to restart vehicle. Consumer will contact the dealer in the near future.
While driving 10 MPH the fuel clamp disconnected from the vehicle. This problem caused the fuel line to leak and as a result the vehicle stalled. The dealership was notified but did not resolve the problem.
