I PURCHASED A USED 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN CARLSBAD, CA. BOB BAKER, I ASKED ABOUT TWO PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH IT. THE HORN DOESN'T HONK, AND THE AIR BAY LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THEY'D BE FIXED FREE. WHEN THEY CALLED REGARDING OTHER REPAIRS, THEY SAID THE ITEMS WOULDN'T BE FIXED FREE…

I PURCHASED A USED 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN CARLSBAD, CA. BOB BAKER, I ASKED ABOUT TWO PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH IT. THE HORN DOESN'T HONK, AND THE AIR BAY LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THEY'D BE FIXED FREE. WHEN THEY CALLED REGARDING OTHER REPAIRS, THEY SAID THE ITEMS WOULDN'T BE FIXED FREE, THAT MY PARTICULAR 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WASN'T INCLUDED IN A RECALL. I OBJECTED AND ALSO FOUND THE REPAIR COSTS EXPENSIVE FOR ME, AND I WAS TOLD TO GO AHEAD AND PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, THAT "THERE WILL BE A RECALL COMING UP AND WHEN IT DOES I CAN SHOW THE RECEIPTS AND GET A REFUND." WHY ARE SOME 1999 INCLUDED AND OTHERS NOT, WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHERS ARE FIXED FOR UNDER RECALL? ALSO THE LOW FUEL BELL RINGS AFTER YOU FILL THE TANK UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GETS DOWN TO ABOUT 3/4 TANK. ( IT DOES RING WHEN THE FUEL IS LOW, TOO). I WANT MY HORN FIXED, IT'S AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. ALSO THE LIGHT "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" CAME ON, AND I JUST HAD A TUNE UP, ETC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP COSTS SO MUCH AND IT COST ME $58.00 TO FIND OUT THAT THE GAS CAP WASN'T SEALING PROPERLY. THE NEW CAP I BOUGHT IS IMPRINTED WITH INFORMATION ABOUT IT HAVING TO BE PLACED ON PROPERLY. THIS NEW CAP I BELIEVE IS IMPRINTED THIS WAY BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM THAT CAME UP. I AM DISGUSTED AND "BROKE" AFTER HAVING TO PAY FOR SUCH A DIAGNOSIS AND THEN 15.65 FOR THE NEW CAP. *JB

DURING ROLL-OVER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN BUMPER HIT, SON FELL OUT OF SEATBELT DUE TO ITS POSITIONING IN VAN
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HUB OF THE STEERING WHEEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL COVERED VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 12, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, SOME TRIM MATERIAL CAN LOOSEN AND DROP INTO THE REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO BECOME INOPERATIVE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TRIM WITH FOAM BLOCKERS AND INSPECT AND REPLACE ALL 3RD ROW SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 3, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT FOR FLEET SALES ONLY. THE HEADLAMP MODULE DOES NOT IDENTIFY THE PARK LAMP AS "DRL" AS REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108.
Remedy: ALL FLEET OWNERS/OPERATORS WILL BE MAILED NON-REMOVABLE DECALS WITH THE REQUIRED "DRL" LETTERS.
