1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager Equipment Problems

“Bought van used august 1999 with 91,000 miles. Van now has 134,000 miles. Transmission has been rebuilt/replaced 3 times [2 rebuilds - october 2000 (cost: ~$1600) and april 2001 (cost:~$550); replaced with used transmission after last failure april 2003 (cost:$901)]. Computer controls (single board engine controller - sbec) went bad while traveling at night on interstate on a trip - caused cam sensor and crank sensor to go bad as well (cost: ~$550). As you can see we have spent ~$3600 on a van that was purchased for $3700!!????? I am considering legal action against chrysler now.”

So, to date, I have spent over $3000.00 having the A/C repaired on this vehicle. …”

“We have had problems with the air conditioner for almost two years. During the warmer months, we have had to add freon about every 2 months. We have had to add freon to the system at least 5 times since 8/98, which is excessive because the air conditioning system is generally only used during the summer months in northern illinois. Earlier air conditioning system checks could not detect where the leak was occuring. A recent check in april resulted in a diagnosis of an evaporator problem. …”

“The contact owns a 1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The contact stated that it is very difficult to depress the brake pedal in his vehicle. He has to use all of his strength to get them to work. In addition, the ABS pump is running and will not shut off. The ABS lights and brake lights are currently illuminated. The rear wiper on the rear hatch has been replaced four times at the cost of $350. The wiper currently needs to be replaced again. Within six months of having the vehicle repaired, the failure recurred. …”

“The transmission slips at starting and after stops is slow to re-engage, the radio for a long time has shut off on its own and then when you try to turn it back on sometimes it takes 20 to 30 tries to turn it back on. The transmission and radio problems are the same as a van owned by my wife's brother.”
