1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE review from North America

First problem was a spark plug coming loose in the head, requiring a helicoil insert.

Had the CV boots done twice in the time we owned it.

Had the right CV joint replaced.

Water pump and radiator.

The biggest thing Transmission at 138,000. My mechanic warned me about Mopar's transmissions and told me they have a habit of conking out about 70,000 miles. Looking at the tranny when it was being repaired we discovered it had been done at approx. 70,000 the first time and so 138,000 replacement was expected.

Vehicle was stolen once. Column was "Chicago punched" requiring a complete replacement of the steering wheel and components.

Car was in two accidents, both time hit by other drivers in the front. First time required $1900 in repairs which the person who hit us (an employee of a well known Ins Co.) covered personally. Second time was t-boned by a gal who ran a red light and the car was totaled out.

Other than the mechanical issues above, the vehicle was a pretty good daily driver, great on camping trip and other long drives and got pretty decent mileage, about 22 around town and upwards of 30 mpg on the highway.

Not having a front console made it the best legroom I've ever had in any vehicle.

Were it not so bad in the drivetrain, I'd be driving one still, but I just can't see a transmission lasting only 70,000 miles!
