TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY FAILED AND ALL OF THE GAUGES DROPPED TO 0. THE VEHICLE ALSO INTERMITTENTLY STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES WHEN THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE. SOON AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE ON PLYMOUTHS WITH A DIFFERENT SIZE ENGINE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE, RECALL NUMBER, AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: EVAPORATOR WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES SO FAR, FIRST TIME BEING UNDER 3 YEAR WARRANTY. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW, EVEN AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH "NO PROBLEMS" AND BEING RESET. LATELY, THE WINDOWS WON'T GO UP AND DOWN UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED. SAME THING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE TACHOMETER. THEY JUST "GO DEAD". *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2002 FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING, ALTERNATOR, RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, COOLING SYSTEM. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING IS NEEDED FOR GROSS POLLUTION. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED UNDER FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS THREE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURES OF THE FAN, RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN HOT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BLOW OUT. SERVICE FOR THESE COMPONENTS WERE PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDANT AUTO SHOP.

THE SERPENTINE BELT FALLS OFF AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED. THIS IS EVEN AFTER WE PAID TO HAVE A BRACKET INSTALLED & TENSIONER PER TSB TO PREVENT THIS FROM REOCCURRING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BELT HAS FALLEN OFF. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT PROVIDE A PRODUCT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT PROVIDE A SERVICE WHICH WOULD LEAD THE CONSUMER TO BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN DEFECT IS REMEDIED. ( IS THIS NOT FRAUD?) ALSO, THIS FAILURE MODE CAUSES A SITUATION IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED - HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?*AK
