1992 Plymouth Voyager LE review from North America
"Great off the line, but expense grows quickly as the years go on. Overall though, I love this van!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first major problem that we saw with this van was loosing the transmission at 150,000 miles. It came with no warning and we were left without transportation for a week or two. The transmission was replaced with a second hand transmission for a repair bill of about $1,400.
Shortly after that the rear wiper no longer would work.
More recently, starting at about 200,000 miles, the van began to overheat badly. It burned out 3 fan motors before I wired the fan to a toggle switch on the dash to manually control it.
Due to the overheating the van blew a head gasket at 225,000 miles. I replaced the head gasket and had parts of the inner engine re-machined for a repair bill of about $600.
Since that repair it has been running dangerously low oil pressure and has begun to burn oil.
Yesterday was the first time it overheated for a long time. Diagnosis this time: radiator is rusted almost completely away. I will be purchasing a new one shortly.
Also, CV joints are needing replaced on both sides of vehicle badly.
General comments?
This van is fast considering that it is a family car. Mostly in the acceleration will you notice it's power. It doesn't compare to most, but again, for a van it is a beast.
It is quite possibly the most comfortable vehicle I have ever ridden in and very spacious when the middle seat is left out. You can almost count on it to haul what you would in a smaller truck like a Ranger.
