“The headlight lenses on my 1996 Grand Voyager have become increasingly fogged over since late in 1996- it is at the point now where night driving is marginal.”

NHTSA complaint #10003123, filed 2003-01, 20,000 miles

“I have several friends with the same vehicle and the same problem(transmission ruined due to computer failure/malfunction. Also the master switch in these vehicles is faulty(that is the switch for windshield wipers/turn signal) that causes wipers to come on of their own accord. I am afraid to speculate on the problems that could arise if the turn signal portion was to malfunction as well.”

The most serious were the dashboard lights failed several times, the electrical locks on the sliding doors failed several times, the windshield wipers failed seven times!!!, the radio was replaced, the water pump was replaced, the battery was replaced, the body module was replaced 20aug97, sliding doors had to be adjusted to open properly 07oct97 mileage 9502, power distribution center was replaced 11dec97 mileage 10360, had to hold turn signal stalk down to keep high beams on at night due to faulty…”
