1995 Plymouth Voyager Body and structure Problems

“Consumer called complaining about structure problems. The hinges on the door were not strong enough to hold the door, and there was a crack. Dealer and manufacture were contacted, and stated that they were not responsible for it. Also, latch on the door was not working properly to the point that when they made a sharp curve the door came open.”

“The failure of the door mechanism just happened to occur when I opened the door but could have been potentially dangerous if it had occured when driving. The body shop that fixed this problem has seen at least 10 of these vans with this problem in the last 6 months which in turn tells me there is a failure or design defect”

“On may 3, 2000 I took my Plymouth Voyager to roberson motors in salem, or because of a broker bolt attaching the strut to the rear hatch on the right rear of the vehicle, with subsequent damage to the headliner.

My son tells me a friend of his who also has a 1995 Plymouth mini van had his side door completely fall of at the high school parking lot a couple months ago. …”

“Under routine maintainence the mechanic at sanders automotive service noticed that the lower hinge on the drivers sided door was loose and then that the metal around the opening in the door post column where the hinge enters the post is torn . I have called the local dealer, looked up nhts bulletins and called the manufacturer to report my findings. I do not know how long this condition has existed. It is not on any recall list but it is a serious cost to me if I have to pay for it myself and a safety issue. It is not from abuse by myself or the previous owner. …”
