“1997 Voyager stahls often. Come to a complete stop at red light, accelerate and the engine stalls. No warning and no warning lights displayed. We start the van up again and continue on. Also, on the highway we had two instances of this van stalling. Was able to restart and continue on. Need help, what is causing this very dangerous situation?”
NHTSA complaint #10068061, filed 2004-04, 130,000 miles“All gauges on vehicle drop to zero except the gas gauge. Can't tell what speed you are going. Can't tell what gear I am in. Automatic doors locks and alarm stop working. Blower works but no AC or heat. Was told it was the body control module.”
NHTSA complaint #10016694, filed 2003-04, 92,700 miles“The vehicle experienced a fuel leak. The electrical system has not worked while vehicle was running. (window, blinkers, and the radio) restarting the vehicle solves the problem each time. Scc”
NHTSA complaint #10014704, filed 2003-03, 98,000 miles“I purchased a vehicle in 1997 from a friend. All of a sudden my horn stopped working. I have replaed the fuses. I have checked all the wires. I have replaced the horn. Their is nothing wrong. I think the problem is where the airbag is behind the steering wheel. What do I do. I dont think that is my responsibility if their is a problem with the air bag is it?”
NHTSA complaint #10062141, filed 2004-03“On the morning of sept 28, 2001, I started my '97 Plymouth Voyager to begin a vacation trip. After a few minutes with the engine running, I noticed that the air bag warning light stayed illuminated. During the trip, I also discovered that neither the horn nor the cruise control worked. These symptoms appear similar to recall #01v153000..”
