2000 grand voyager. Strut tower rust problem. This is a known and common issue and chrysler will not fix this defect through a recall, which they absolutely should! *trOwner report · Structure · Aug 2010
Cruise control, horn does not work -this was within 30 days of each other. Airbag light comes on then goes off again. No accident caused this to occur. *trOwner report · Electrical System · Nov 2009
The removable head rests in my 2000 chrysler grand voyager have a design flaw. The metal supports that extend into the padding are now protruding through that padding, but not through the outer vinyl cover, in the event of an accident, the passengers head will make contact with the metal and likely receive injuries from it. The headrests have been turned around backwards to prevent such an occurrence, though they are now not adjustable and will only provide head/neck support to a child. My van contains 4 of these headrests. I have owned the vehicle for 4 years and all of them have deteriorated during this time. *trOwner report · Seats · Oct 2009
My transmission has gone out on my vehicle and when it was in the repair shop there where two other vehicle the same year make and model with the same transmission problems not to mention one of my sisters co-workers with the same vehicle just had hers fixed is there any way you can look into this I do feel it would be a safety recall beings if my children where in the vehicle and it broke down on the side of the road and transmissions have been know to start on fire if they start too go out also when this happened I was at a stop light at a busy intersection and caused a big traffic jams do to my vehicle not shifting. *trOwner report · Power Train · Sep 2009
