2001 Chrysler Voyager LX 2.5 CRD

Summary:

A bag load of trouble!

Faults:

My clutch required replacement at 38,000 miles.

My rear windows stuck open and required replacement motors.

My front electric windows required new motors.

My cam shaft required changing at 59000 miles.

My sump required replacing at 38000 miles.

I have had 5 different rear number plates as they keep falling off.

The stereo has been replaced 3 times.

The air conditioning has been replaced twice.

General Comments:

The seats are very very heavy and impossible to move alone.

Rear leg room is very cramped.

Front seats are great and very comfortable with leather.

Very slow at low speeds, but cruises well at high speeds.

2002 Chrysler Voyager CRD LX 2.5 turbo diesel

Summary:

Fabulous. Terrific MPV, but expensive to run

Faults:

Folding wing mirrors failed to fold.

Alarm goes off under vibration.

Alloy wheels blistered.

General Comments:

Annoying faults all repaired promptly and under warranty by dealer.

Fabulous roomy car.

I used this car as a 4 seater and it out shone anything on 4 wheels for load carrying and comfort.

Main criticism would be the heavy and cumbersome rear bench seat, which when removed, were on earth do you put it!

Stiff servicing costs at dealership.

I would not like to own this car out of warranty. Parts are expensive.

Reasonably economical if on motorway at 75MPH, 36 averaging, but a disaster in town middle 20's MPG.

High depreciation on resale. Mercedes Estate a better option, but not the same carrying space.

New model Voyager Automatic economy drops to 29MPG on motorway.

Very High insurance group 15. Ouch if living in Northern Ireland.

If you have the need for an MPV, this is the one to buy. Acres of room, and great style, but always buy it with leather.

I will be sad to part with it, but sadly new auto at 29 MPG is to high for me on my mileage.

1998 Chrysler Voyager SE 2.0 petrol

Summary:

Loved the car, but hated the repair bills

Faults:

Exhaust problems from 54,000 miles.

Needed to go back to dealer on several occasions.

Always grinding when going into reverse.

Fuel pump went at 73,000 miles, no warning.

Power Steering Pump went at 82,000 miles, again no warning.

General Comments:

This car was ideal for our family at the time of purchase, plenty of room and very comfortable.

Very sluggish, it was never fun to drive.

Expensive to run.

2.0 Petrol engine not able to preform with such a heavy body.

When it gave trouble it would cost a fortune to repair.

Changed the car for a 2.0 CRDi SUV, I'm loving it!

Will never buy a Chrysler again.

1999 Chrysler Voyager LE 2.5 turbo diesel

Summary:

Pile of junk

Faults:

Gearbox failed.

Clutch was just about worn out.

Rear brake cylinders failed.

Track rod end failed.

Air venting system failed.

Air con failed.

Exhaust failed.

The electrics had a mind of their own, especially the wipers.

The steering column had a strange clonk, along with the front suspension.

The passenger side leather seat split.

General Comments:

I would not expect to have these problems at such a low mileage with a full dealer service history.

These cars are NOT quality cars.

Do not buy one of these vehicles

Chrysler should not be allowed to sell such bad quality vehicles.

My wife has a 1997 Chrysler Grand Voyager R registration UK, it has done 60,000 and the gearbox has failed also the air conditioning compressor has failed. Chrysler seem to think this is reasonable for a car with 60,000 on the clock - I do not.

I have a 1997 Chrysler Voyager with 96000 Km on clock and the gearbox has failed, this is not what I would expect from a modern car. Chrysler have just lost a customer, no more Chrysler for me.

2002 Chrysler Voyager SE 2.5CRD

Summary:

Best thing I ever bought

Faults:

Gear change into first has always been sticky. This was reported in January and a heavier gear lever was fitted last month (June), this improved the gear shift into first, but now it has started jumping out of reverse.

The handbrake had a clicking sensation on applying and the lever has now been replaced, curing the problem. When I first reported this fault I was told "they all do it" until a mechanic also reported it.

The offside (right) sliding door clicks on acceleration and braking. I will be reporting this shortly.

General Comments:

In general I have been very pleased with the vehicle and would not go back to a sardine can. I love the feeling of space and the comfort. My children like being in the back and don't get car sick on long journeys now. Although that could have been that they were sick of the Volvo.

The general build quality is good and the only thing I can fault is the pull-your-shoulder-out-of-its-socket spring on the back door.

Lastly, would it cause a problem or be too much to ask for the folks in the dealership to smile now and then.
