IllustrationTRAVELING HOME FROM TOWN I MADE A SHARP LEFT TURN AND NOTICED A WARNING MOMENTARY WARNING BEEP. THE AIRBAG DASH LAMP ILLUMINATED MOMENTARILY AND WENT OUT. AFTER MAKING A SECOND LEFT TURN IT STAYED ON. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE LAMP STAYED ON AND THE HORN DID NOT WORK. I HAVE NOT CHECKED THE CRUISE YET. *NM

I HAVE A 1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER THAT I PURCHASED NEW. I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE SERPENTINE BELT SLIDING OFF OR BREAKING. I HAVE 67,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, AND THE BELT/TENSIONER HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER? I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THEM AS WELL. ALL I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND MECHANICS IS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FAILURE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THIS DEIGN PROBLEM FOR ITS SERPENTINE BELT! THANK YOU. *JB *NM

THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HER THAT SHE NEEDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT. THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. *AK
HEADLIGHTS DIM SHARPLY IN COLD WEATHER OR TRAVELING IN WET CONDITIONS. IF I HIT A PUDDLE IN THE ROAD THIS WILL HAPPEN ALSO OR I MIGHT LOSE THEM ALL TOGETHER, FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE FROM INSUFFICIENT INSULATING OF WIRE HARNESS. COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR SEVERE ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. *JB

STRUT TOWER CORROSION - 1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. STRUT TOWER WAS RUSTED THROUGH WITH 103,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR - THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT. RECEIVED SIMILAR ANSWERS FROM OTHER DEALERS IN AREA. ONLY GREEN CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH, EAST MOLINE ILLINOIS WOULD ATTEMPT THE REPAIR. COST WAS $900.00+ LACK OF INSPECTION AND SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE FROM DEALERSHIP NETWORK IS APPALLING. THERE IS AN INSPECTION PORT ON THE STRUT TOWER - SO THE ENGINEERS KNEW THERE COULD BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS BUILT. YET THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT INSPECT. A TOWER DOESN'T INSTANTANEOUSLY CORRODE BETWEEN 99K AND 103K. THERE WAS A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE 100K BARRIER AND NO ONE PICKED UP ON IT. BUT THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY FOLKS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THERE WERE TWO OTHER CARS INTO THE SAME BODY SHOP ALONG WITH MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME FAILURE! PLEASE CHECK PUBLIC FORUMS ON THE WEB USING GOOGLE OR ANOTHER SEARCH ENGINE. YOU WILL FIND THAT THE PROBLEM IS PREVALENT AND YET...NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO ALERT THE PUBLIC AS TO PROBLEMS. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT STRUT TOWER WOULD FAIL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT SPEED? HOW MANY MUST DIE BEFORE THERE IS ANY ACTION TAKEN? *JB
INTERMITTENT WINDSHILD WIPER DOSE NOT WORK
DT: CONTACT STATED THE SERPENTINE BELT FELL OFF, LEAVING VEHICLE STRANDED. SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED 7 OR 8 TIMES. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM. BUT, CONTACT WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF IT. THE BULLETIN STATED THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL PART TO KEEP THE BELT FROM COMING OFF.*AK
SPEED CONTROL AND THEN THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION FAILED; WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE; I COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 25-30 MPH AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEOING REAR-ENDED BY A 16-WHEEL TRUCK.
THE LEFT (DRIVER) SIDE STRUT TOWER APPEARS TO BE SPLIT AND RUSTING OUT, WHILE THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST. THERE IS ALSO NO RUST ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE LEFT (DRIVER) SIDE STRUT TOWER APPEARS TO BE SPLIT AND RUSTING OUT, WHILE THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST. THERE IS ALSO NO RUST ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE WITH THE METAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IF THE STRUT TOWER FAILS, I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHO WORKS IN A BODY SHOP. THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL VEHICLES. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL, BUT THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AS IS. IF IT IS NOT SAFE, I FEEL THAT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER. I DO HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF BOTH STRUT TOWERS. THE DEALER WANTS AROUND $400.00 TO FIX IT AND THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHETHER IT IS SAFE OR NOT. *NM
