2000 Plymouth Voyager

ON A 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH 14 INCH WHEELS (NON-ABS), WHEN REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER PISTON WAS CRACKED AND CHIPPED IN NUMEROUS PLACES AT THE OUTER EDGE AND THERE WERE SMALL PIECES OF THE METAL PISTON MISSING - THE MISSING METAL WERE THE SIZE OF M&M'S. NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEM WAS DETECTED WITH THE BRAKE PAD BACKING OR THE ROTOR. NO FORCE WAS USED TO REMOVE THE CALIPER OR THE PAD - SO THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED JUST WHILE IN SERVICE. THIS WAS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.*JB

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE. IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE,IT THEN JUMPED FORWARD AND SEEMED TO BE FINE, THEN IT DID IT AGAIN AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED OVER BY AAA TO HALL THE NEXT DAY.THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE AT 50,800 MILES AND THE WARRENTY ONLY COVERED 3/36,000 MILE. I WAS LESS THAN THREE YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VAN. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I FOLLOWED THE B SCHEDULE OF SERVICE AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE AT 46,000 MILES. THE SCHEDULE B IN MY OWNERS MANNUAL SAYS 48,000 MILES. THE SERVICES MANAGER SAYS THAT IT SHOULD BE CHANGED AT 36,000 MILES.

I HAVE A 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 12/00. I EXPEREINCE A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO DRIVE. FROM A PARKED POSITION, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND PROCEED TO BACK UP. ONCE I HAVE COMPLETED BACKING OUT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO (ATTEMPT) GO FORWARD. THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO GO IN REVERSE (SEVERAL FEET). I HAVE TRIED SHIFTING TO OVERDRIVE, NEUTRAL, AND PARK HOWEVER THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO MOVE IN REVERSE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AS I HAVE ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, ASSUMING THE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE MOVING FORWARD WHEN IN DRIVE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM, HE BLAMES IT ON ME NOT PUTTING MY BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN. I ADVISED HIM THAT DESPITE THE POSITION ON MY BRAKE IF THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE IT SHOULD MOVE FORWARD OR IF IT IS IN PARK IT SHOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY MOVES FORWARD, BUT NOT UNTIL IT IS READY. MY TRANSMISSION FLUID IS CLEAN AND FULL. MY MILEAGE NOW IS APPROX 25471. THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.

I HAVE A 2000 VOYAGER WHOSE A/C UNIT HAS COMPLETELY DIED. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM AT A COST OF STARTING $1,200.00 PLUS REPLACING THE BELTS. I HAVE 75,000 MILES ON IT. I DO DRIVE MY CAR WHICH IS ONLY TWO YEAR OLD. IF YOU CHECK IN THE THE HISTORY OF MY CAR YOU WILL SEE THAT I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS: LEAKING ENGINE, TIRE REPLACED AT 30,000 MILES, BATTERY 2X, PULLIE REPLACE, BREAK SWITCH, SUN CLIPS 2X AND STILL BROKEN ETC.

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER SMELT AN ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR,WAS AS A RESULT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BURNING OUT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PART, BUT NOW THERE WAS A METAL TO METAL ODOR, COMING FROM THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BURNING OUT, IT CAUSED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO HAVE A CRACK IN IT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS
