“I own a 1998 Plymouth Voyager. At the time of the first incident the vehicle had approximately 80,000 miles on it. While driving I noticed that a number of warning lights suddenly appeared and that all of the gauges were not operating on the dash. The vehicle was brought to scap jeep/Plymouth/dodge dealership in fairfield ct. The technician said that he had no clue what it was and that he would have to trace each wire and it would include numerous man hours. He also suggested replacing the main computer. If I wanted to have them fix it I would have to make another appointment. …”

NHTSA complaint #10075276, filed 2004-06, 97,455 miles“We have paid numerous times to have these same issues looked at parts replaced. New brain as they said for the car, new computer modules.

Wipers do what they choose, if we leave them on they stay off.if we turn them off they go on. We have no dash what so ever, unable to ascertain speed in the middle of driving. Numerous times the vehicle has just shut down when coming to a stop. Radio and cd player works and doesn't at variable times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10292063, filed 2009-11, 70,000 miles“My headlights and tail lights come on by themselves when the vehicle is turned off. The local dealership said it was a headlight switch, put in a new one, charged me and it did not fix the problem. Then they said it was a computer. I took it to another dealership and they said it was not the computer, but did not know what the problem was. A third vehicle electrical shop simply had no idea what was causing the lights to come on. So for the past two years, I have removed the fuses from the headlights and only drive the vehicle in the day time. …”
