1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE review from North America
"A financial disaster for my family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything.
Electronics are constant problem. BCD replaced twice.
Transmission was replaced when it shoved a spring pin through side of the transmission housing (at 45,000 miles). I have read that transmission failure is common for Chrysler.
Wipers stopped working.
Battery went dead intermittently.
Struts went bad.
Brakes feel unsteady.
Dealer support and manufacturer support was soooooooo bad.
General comments?
I have read that Chrysler adopted a long warranty in panic mode when their transmissions kept failing. They dropped the long warranty but have not fixed the transmissions.
