1994 Plymouth Voyager Base review from North America
"Stay away! It's junk, I learned the hard way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cylinder head cracked at 103,000 cost $500 in parts and 16 hours of my own labor to repair. Vehicle quit running and I was left stranded away from home. Contacted Chrysler and was told "Too bad, warranty has expired." This is a know problem with this engine, yet Chrysler does not notify owners of the pending danger of a real possibility of being stranded Chrysler also does not offer any help in repairs.
98,000 miles, Paint is peeling. Over 5 month period, the entire top has almost lost all of the paint. This peeling paint and resulting rust spots have reduced vehicle value by 50%. Contacted Chrysler and was told too bad, warranty has expired. This is a know problem with this year of Plymouth vehicles, yet Chrysler does not offer any help in repairs.
50,000 miles half shaft was replaced, bad constant velocity joint.
102,000 miles horn was replaced.
Recalled to have a rear hatch lock replaced with one that will not open in an accident.
Distributor cap and rotor are good for about 20,000- 25,000 miles only problem is contacts in cap are on ends of spark plug wires. This requires spark plug wires to be replaced. 25,000 miles is not a respectable tune up interval.
Drivers door weatherstrip will not stay in place.
Gas cap restraining cable broke at 70,000 miles.
General comments?
A 4 cylinder non turbo charged is not enough engine for a mini van, even with a 5 speed manual transmission.
You cannot accelerate onto the freeway at 55 miles per hour with the air conditioner on. You must turn off the AC for any acceleration.
