2000 Plymouth Voyager

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE ON HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL IN TO A PARKING LOT SAFELY. CAR RESTARTED 10 MINUTES LATER ONLY TO SHUT DOWN AS SOON AS I MOVED. TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER, THEY REPLACED AN ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS COMMON IN THESE VEHICALS, BUT THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS ON TODAYS HIGHWAYS. *AK

I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD THAT PUT THIS CAR INTO DRIVE WHILE I WAS PUTTING MY FOUR YR OLD IN HIS CAR SEAT. I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD GO INTO GEAR WITHOUT HAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I NOW ASK EVERYONE WHO DRIVES ONE OF THESE VANS IF THEY KNEW THAT THEY COULD DO THAT - THEY ARE AS AMAZED AS I AM THAT THIS IS ALLOWED. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I AM ENRAGED AT THEIR NONCHALANT ATTITUDE CONCERNING THIS - THERE SHOULD BE WARNINGS ON THE VEHICLE. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT. HIS RESPONSE WAS WELL YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON AT ALL TIMES - THANKS FOR NOT TELLING ME THAT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR.*AK

WHEN EITHER SLIDING DOOR IS CLOSING, MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY THE ACTION OF THE DOOR CLOSING SHUT. I SUGGEST HAVING THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. ALSO, NOT ONLY SHOULD THE DOOR HAVE A SENSITIVITY SENSOR BUT KIDS COULD GET THEIR FINGERS CAUGHT IN THE BOTTOM ROLLER SECTION AND GET THEIR TOES OR FINGERS SEVERED OFF. ALSO THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOORS IS TO SENSITIVE. WHEN TOSSING YOUR KEYS INTO A PURSE OR ON THE FLOOR,IT WILL TRIGGER THE DOORS CLOSED WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT.

PRONOUNCED TIRE BOUNCE BETWEEN 45-50 MPH. TOOK TO DEALER ON FRIDAY, 5 OCTOBER. THEY DIAGNOSED 3 TIRES OUT OF ROUND. TOOK VEHICLE TO GOODYEAR AUTO SERVICE CENTER (37 E. NINE MILE RD., PENSACOLA, FL. 32514, PH. 850-479-2007) ON MONDAY, OCT 9, GOODYEAR DIAGNOSED 1 TIRE (RF) OUT OF ROUND AND 3 ALUMINUM RIMS (LF, LR, & RR) AS BEING WARPED. GOODYEAR ORDERED 3 TIRES AND CHRYSLER DEALER ORDERED 3 NEW RIMS FROM ATLANTA. CALLED BOTH THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 11 AND THEY HAD RIMS AND TIRES. PICKED UP THE RIMS AT CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH DEALER AND TOOK THEM OVER TO GOODYEAR FOR INSTALLATION. GOODYEAR MOUNTED THEIR THREE NEW TIRES ON THE THREE NEW RIMS SUPPLIED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND REPLACE THEM ON THE LF, RR, AND LR. STILL HAVE A THE SAME NOTICABLE BOUNCE. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT I STARTED VACATION ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 9TH AND OUR PLAN WAS TO HEAD FOR A VISIT TO MICHIGAN. IT SNOWED LAST WEEKEND IN MICHIGAN, AND ALTHOUGH I AM ORIGINALLY FROM MICHIGAN AND DROVE ON THEIR WINTER ROADS FOR 33 YEARS, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOSS OF CONTROL ON SLIPPERY ROADS DUE TO THE WHEEL BOUNCE. THE ORIGINAL TIRES, SER #'S B276272GCW79MMSC, B276261GCW79MMSC, AND B301163GCW79MMSC ARE AT THE GOODYEAR STORE, AND THE ORIGINAL RIMS WERE RETURNED TO THE CHRYSLEY/PLYMOUTH DEALER. I DO NOT KNOW WHICH DEALER OR IF THE RIMS OR WHEELS ARE AT FAULT. I DID NOT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN. WILL CALL CHRYSLER IN DETROIT TOMORROW TO SEE IF I CAN MEET WITH THE FACTORY REP THE NEXT TIME HE IS IN TOWN. HOPE THIS INFO MAY HELP OTHERS.
