1998 Plymouth Voyager review from North America
"A terrible design that will cost a fortune to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing until mileage reached 100,000.
PCM module went out first.
Then another computer module went out.
Spent about $800.00 at this point.
At 115,000 miles head gasket started leaking badly. Had to replace it and it was very costly, because half the engine had to be pulled.
At 125,000 miles the distributer malfunctioned and had to be replaced. Also had to replace the cam sensor and the choke asembly.
At 135,000 miles a pin in the Cam shaft was sheared and had to be replaced. The head had to be removed again and this little project cost about $1,500.00.
I am at 143,000 miles now and I have a problem with the break system.
General comments?
This is without a doubt the most costly vehicle, by far, I have ever owned. I have no choice, but to keep it, because I would not want to burden someone else with this vehicle.
