1987 Plymouth Voyager Reviews - Page 2 of 2

Lower radiator hose tube (metal) under intake manifold rusted out - 160,000.

PCV Valve keeps fouling/burning oil at idle - 170,000.

This van has been terrific! The 3.0 V-6 is absolutely indestructible. Even though it has overheated so many times from the coolant tube breaking and the resulting troubleshooting, it has held together - never popped a gasket!

The transmission has also held together nicely - even after repeated rapid-acceleration getting out on the highway. (C:

The van hauls a full load with ease, I have moved many times with it.

On-highway acceleration is particularly responsive!

The rear-most folding bench seat is pretty heavy, although the middle bench seat is not so bad.

No problems until we hit 200,000. At that point both of the axel shafts quit working, and had to be replaced. It was questionable however if the repair shop actually messed up the drivers side axel intentionally just so they could replace it with a new one.

Then suddenly the reverse gear went out. We procrastinated getting it fixed due to finances. However, all other gears worked fine... we just learned how to park without reverse gear. We eventually found out it was one of the bands in the transmission and that the repair would cost many hundreds of dollars, so we just resigned ourselves to drive it until we could afford another vehicle.

In this waiting period, the front bakes have started to squeal as if the rotors were shot.

Now here I sit on July 2nd, 2003 and the vehicle will turn over, but not start. I have a suspicion that it could be the spark plugs or spark plug wiring itself and I will find out tommorow.

I really hope our federal tax refund check comes soon.

We are looking at another Plymouth Voyager vehicle, a 1993 model from a local dealer. This is simply because we have two young children and it is such a comfortable vehicle to drive and accommodate our situation. I just think we got stuck with a lemon.

Nothing, but the spark plug wires shorting out.

Loved it, nobody believed that it was a 5 spd though... too slow. Had a great PIONEER deck in it with 2 10" subs and PIONEER 6X9s in the hatch, and PIONEERS in the dash... I also had four more speakers add in the back.
