2000 Plymouth Voyager

THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO GEAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. THE GUIDE PLATES HAD DAMAGING SPOTS. *TC THE BRAKES HAD EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE AND DAMAGED THE TRAILING EDGE. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN OPERATION AT A STOP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE, WITH THE FOOT REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS; (THE SAME FOR REVERSE), THE LENS COVERS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE YELLOWED AND OR HAD BECOME OPAQUE. IN RE: 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER AND A 1998 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER *SC *JB

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.

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 *JB

ON A 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH 14 INCH WHEELS (NON-ABS), WHEN REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER PISTON WAS CRACKED AND CHIPPED IN NUMEROUS PLACES AT THE OUTER EDGE AND THERE WERE SMALL PIECES OF THE METAL PISTON MISSING - THE MISSING METAL WERE THE SIZE OF M&M'S. NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEM WAS DETECTED WITH THE BRAKE PAD BACKING OR THE ROTOR. NO FORCE WAS USED TO REMOVE THE CALIPER OR THE PAD - SO THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED JUST WHILE IN SERVICE. THIS WAS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.*JB
