1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER Visibility Problems

THE MOTOR ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS SYSTEM FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION, AIR CONDITIONING, RACK AND PINION STEERING. MOST OF THE FAILURES WERE WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. MOST WERE NOT OF THE ORDINARY VARIETY.*AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIR OF THE DRIVE ASSEMBLY, WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, THEY NOTICED THE FRONT WINDOW WHERE THE WORK WAS PERFORMED WAS CRACKED, THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE CRACKED WINDOW, AND ALSO THAT IT WAS NOT CRACKED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN, THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY.*JB

DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO SEND A MECHANIC TO REPAIR 3 RECALL NOTICES, INCLUDING RECALL 99V113000/ AIR BAG FAILURE; RECALL 97V148000/ SEAT BELT FAILURE, AND 96V099OOO/ ABS BRAKE FAILURE. AUTHORIZED ANOTHER MECHANIC TO PERFORM WORK TO REPAIR RECALL, OR PROVIDE CONSUMER WITH NECESSARY PARTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECTS. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT DEALERSHIP WAS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD ASKED THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPAIRING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER PIVOT AND LIFT GATE SUPPRT BOLTS, BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HELP. *YH

VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME WIPER FAILURE ON 2 OCCASIONS, LINKAGE CAME OFF STUD FOR MOTOR, A NUT CAME OFF, AND LEFT PIVOT CAME OFF ON LINKAGE, DEALER REPLACED LINKAGE AND PIVOTS, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE SECOND FAILURE SINCE IT HAPPENED ONLY 110 MILES AFTER DEALER REPAIRED WIPERS FROM FIRST FAILURE.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WITHOUT ANY OBJECTS HITTING WINDOW, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE RECALL COMPONENT (99V-189) WINDSHIELD WIPERS PRIOR TO RECALL NOTIFICATION, FAILURE OF THE WIPERS CAUSED LOSS OF VISIBILITY RESULTING IN VEHICLE COLLISION. *MJS

WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING DURING OPERATION OR DID NOT OPERATE AT ALL. DEALER/MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN, AND ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK

THE FIRST TRANSMISSION TROUBLE BEGIN BY NOT GOING IN DRIVE, THISTRANSMISSION WAS COVERED BY OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY, WAS REPLACED IN MARCH 1997, THE SECOND TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE IN NOVEMBER OF 1998. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AS OF YET. ALSO THE REAR WIPER MOTOR NO LONGER WORKS AND YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE A NEW MOTOR FROM A DEALER.

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. *AK
