Recent owner complaints
- Engine
THIS CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER VAN HAS A DRIVE BELT PROBLEM. IT SLIPS OFF IN THE WET WEATHER AND CAUSES YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS VAN SINCE 2005 AND HAVE REPLACED THIS BELT 38 TIMES. NOW THEY OFFER A SOLUTION KIT SO FAR SO GOOD. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS KNOWN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. ITS A DANGER TO TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS AND COMMON ROADS. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRASHES THIS MUST HAVE CAUSED TO OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR
- Child seat
I CAN NOT PUT MY CHILD IN A BOOSTER SEAT AT THE AGES OF 9 & 10 - IF I HIT A BUMP IN MY DODGE MINIVAN THEY WOULD GET A CONCUSSION FROM HITTING THEIR HEADS ON THE CEILING OF THE VAN. 2) IF WE HAD A ROLLOVER THEY WOULD CERTAINLY SUFFER GETTING THEIR HEAD CAVED IN?????? WHY DO YOU KEEP CHANGING THE REGULATIONS. MY KIDS ARE LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY FIGURE NEXT YEAR I'LL HAVE TO BE IN A BOOSTER SEAT. I'M 5' 5 AND THE SEAT BELT STILL GOES ACROSS MY STOMACH, SOUNDS LIKE BELT PROBLEMS- NOT BOOSTER SEAT NECESSITIES! (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2000, MAKE=MINIVAN, MODEL=CHRYSLER). *TR
- Suspension › Front
2000 DODGE VAN DRIVER TOP OF DRIVER SIDE SHOCK TOWER RUSTING OUT AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO EXIST MAINLY ON DRIVERS SIDE. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE OR HARM IF FAILURE OCCURS AT SPEED. *NM

THE CONSUMER HAS DIFFICULTY SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN AND A CRASH OCCURRED. *JB
- Wheels
PURCHASED A 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN IN NOVEMBER 1999 WITH CUSTOM ALLOY WHEELS. DURING JULY 2005 A FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT, WHICH I FIXED FOR $20. AS THE FLAT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED, CONSEQUENCE WAS MINOR. REPAIR SHOP REPORTED THAT THE FLAT WAS CAUSED BY THE PLATING OF THE WHEELS CUTTING INTO THE TIRE. I AM RELUCTANT TO REPLACE ANY OF THE TIRES, WHICH ARE NOW FIVE YEARS OLD AND DUE FOR REPLACEMENT, IF THE WHEELS WILL DAMAGE THE NEW TIRES AND MAKE THEM SUBJECT TO FAILURE, POSSIBLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHEN THE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO INJURY.
- Service brakes, hydraulic
THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED EXPLANATION.*JB
- Seat belts › Front › Retractor
CONSUMER STATES THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT GRADUALLY BECOMES TIGHTER AND TIGHTER UNTIL IT MUST BE REMOVED, THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT DOES NOT DO THIS, DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPEATEDLY BROUGHT BACK UNTIL ONE WAS INSTALLED THAT DID NOT WORK THIS WAY. *SLC
