THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY IN MY 1998 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. THIS VECHICLE HAS BROKEN DOWN ON ME 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS AND HAS COST ME A FORTUNE IN REPAIRS. EACH TIME, THE PROBLEM IS TRACED TO THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM/FAN RELAY. THE FAN RELAY PART HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, BUT THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITHIN DAYS OF THE REPAIR AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED EACH TIME. THE 5TH TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS THE FAN RELAY "CONNECTOR" AND THEY REPLACED THIS PART WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR IN FULL. TODAY, 20 DAYS AFTER THIS LATEST REPAIR, THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THE FAN IS AGAIN, NOT RUNNING, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. I AM NOW ARRANGING TO HAVE THE VECHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THESE BREAKDOWNS HAVE COST ME OVER 2 WEEKS OF WORK AND RESULTED IN MY CHILDREN BEING STRANDED AT THEIR SCHOOLS. THE REPAIRS ARE COSTING ME A FORTUNE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.*AK

FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE CHILD SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ROUTING OF THE SHOULDER BELT WEBBING AND ANY FOUND INCORRECT WILL BE PROPERLY ROUTED.
