1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE review from North America
"A very Expensive lesson"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. When sitting at a idle with A/C running the engine starts to smoke very badly.
2.Replaced Front Struts,Then had to take it back in to get drivers side replaced again.
3. Was recalled for fuel pump repair problems.
4. Drivers side window is now in need of Repair, will not roll up and down.
General comments?
Since I have owned the Van we have had nothing but little mechanical problems with this vehicle. It is quit embarrassing to be sitting in line somewhere and running you're a/C and your smoking out the person sitting behind you because the Valve Guides are bad or the Oil ring has seized up already. I have been told the 3.0 is famous for this.
