1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE review from North America
"It is a great minivan but has one big issue still at large"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Okay, so I have had this 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager Se for a couple of years. It is a great van but I am having a major issue at this time. Last summer it had started over heating sometimes. Not a lot and so I took it to my mechanic and he put some new cooling parts on. Everything including fuses, relays, temp. gauges, cooling fans and thermostat have been replace. We have also drained radiator and cleaned. That has not solved the overheating issue. It overheats (keep in mind not everytime) when sitting still. As long as you are going down the road it is fine. The computer does not read anything. We have literally put over $1,000 in this van replacing wiring, fans and the works. No one seems to know what is going on. Any ideas?
General comments?
Interior is good, not tore or worn out.
Paint has peeled in a small area on top of van.
Not a lot of problems just routine things.
Not great on gas.
Parts are very expensive to replace (thankfully not many have gone bad)
Transmission has never been replaced and is still in great condition.
Weather stripping is starting to fall off but is not in need of replacement just put back up.
Overheating is the biggest complaint I have that I cannot figure out how to fix.
