SO FAR THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A LEMON. I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING ON IT, FROM FUEL PUMP, SENSORS, STEERING COLUMN, BELT TENSIONER AND PULLEY, ALTERNATOR, WIPER SWITCH THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN EVEN THO I REPLACED A NEW SWITCH. NOW MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS NOW MESSED UP. ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEP COMING ON ALL MY GAUGES GO FLAT. LIGHTS GO DIM. THEN SUDDENLY LIGHTS WILL FLASH AND THEY WILL ALL COME BACK ON. THEN GO OFF AGAIN. NOW, NOT ONLY DO THEY GO FLAT BUT NOW I HAVE A SHIFTING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. I REPLACED THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM. EGR VALVE, CAM SENSOR, CRUISE CONTROL, THE BODY. THE GAS PEDAL USE TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THAT WAS A LITTLE SCARY GOIN DOWN THE ROAD NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WAS GONNA DO THAT. EVERYONE WHO RIDES WITH ME KEEPS JOKING AS IF THE VEHICLE IS HAUNTED. LIGHTS GO WEAK, I'VE REPLACED ALL THE BULBS CLEANED THE HEADLIGHTS. NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK RIGHT ON THIS VEHICLE. I'VE ALREADY INVESTED THOUSANDS. WAY MORE THEN ITS WORTH. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THE VEHICLE JUST REFUSES TO START. SOMETIMES NOT A PROBLEM. THEN USUALLY IN THE COLD IT WONT TURN OVER AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES CHECKED FOR CODES. AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TRANSMISSION HESITATES. SOMETIMES VEHICLE SHUDDERS ACTS LIKE ITS GONNA QUIT.VEHICLE JUST HAS ON GOING PROBLEMS. *TR

SERPENTINE BELT FALLS OFF ALL THE TIME IT PULLS INWARD TOWARD THE ENGINE SLIGHTLY ANY WHEN IT GETS JUST A LITTLE WET IT SLIPS OFF. THE TENSIONER PULLEY LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDED TO BE COCKED UPWARD JUST THE SLIGHTEST LITTLE BIT AND THEN IT DON'T MOVE GATES AFTERMARKET PRODUCT WORKS PERFECT FOR ALL WHO USE IT CHYRSLER SHOULD BE THE ONES PAYING TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED NOT US THIS IS WAY TO COMMON OF A PROBLEM . *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY FAILED AND ALL OF THE GAUGES DROPPED TO 0. THE VEHICLE ALSO INTERMITTENTLY STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED GOING OFF AND ON. WHEN IT WOULD GO OFF THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, DURING THIS TIME EVERY THING WENT OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, GAS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES WENT OUT. I WOULD HIT THE DASH AND IT WOULD WORK CORRECTLY. I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE IT AND THAT ONE LASTED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. SO KNOW I HAVE PUT ANOTHER ONE IN AND AT THIS TIME HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING IT TO FUNCTION. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, BUT NONE ON NHTSA WEBSITE. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: EVAPORATOR WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES SO FAR, FIRST TIME BEING UNDER 3 YEAR WARRANTY. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW, EVEN AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH "NO PROBLEMS" AND BEING RESET. LATELY, THE WINDOWS WON'T GO UP AND DOWN UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED. SAME THING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE TACHOMETER. THEY JUST "GO DEAD". *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2002 FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING, ALTERNATOR, RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, COOLING SYSTEM. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING IS NEEDED FOR GROSS POLLUTION. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED UNDER FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS THREE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURES OF THE FAN, RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN HOT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BLOW OUT. SERVICE FOR THESE COMPONENTS WERE PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDANT AUTO SHOP.
