1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager review from North America
"Worst car we've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn Signals went out.
Horn doesn't work.
Cruise control went out.
Windshield wipers go on and off by themselves.
Starter went out.
Has an unusual "rattle" while going over bumps.
"Skips" while idling.
General comments?
We purchased a 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager in the summer of 99. It had a little over 50,000 miles on it.
Within 6 months, the windshield wipers began turning on and off by themselves. A month after that, my passenger side air bag light came on and would not turn off. Then the turn signals went out, the horn wouldn't work and the cruise control stopped working. Occasionally when I put it in drive, it won't "catch" and seems to be sitting in neutral. I have to move the gear shift up and down to get it to finally click into drive.
As I write this, my van is sitting at the dealership because it doesn't start until you turn the key 7 or 8 times. They suspect the starter has gone.
It also "jumps" or "skips" when you're idling at a red light.
This is the worst van we've ever owned and I would never recommend a Plymouth Grand Voyager to ANYONE. It's a complete piece of junk and a waste of money to boot.
