Dt*: the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the power failed and the vehicle was coasted to a stop. When the vehicle was taken to the service dealer, the problem was identified as a failed pcm (power control module, which was replaced. Later, the air conditioning fuse blew. When the vehicle was returned to the service dealer, the problem was identified as worn wiring at the connection to the fuse box. The wiring was repaired, but the vehicle lost all power again, while driving 25 mph. The vehicle was returned to the service dealer who determined that the wiring harness had failed and needed to be replaced, before further investigations could be made. The manufacturer was not alerted.Owner report · Electrical System · Nov 2006
I found that I experience a similar problem with door hinge craking resulting in door not closing properly. My father was able to fix with simple welding., but now I find I am not the only person to experience this. My friend has a similar 95 dodge caravan with this same problem on both door. I had it only on one. Now looking through the complaints I'm wodering if it may be a strutual problem intead of just wear and tear on the vehicle. Date is not accurat all I remember was that it was last year. The computer wouldn't let me proceed with out a full date input.Owner report · Latches/Locks/Linkages · Sep 2006
I have a 1995 plymouth voyager that was found by my auto mechanic to be leaking fuel onto the exhaust manifold. The defective part was on recall for 1996 voyagers but not for my 1995 voyager eventhough its the same part, the fuel rail. I talked to chris in the recall center at 800-531-1403 and notified him of the part but he would do nothing to expand the recall to my car. There are thousands of 1995 voyagers like mine that have the possibility of catching fire because of this defective part but daimler-chrysler won't do anything about it. This is a case of gross negligence aside from the fact that they should refund my repair expenses. *nmOwner report · Fuel System, Gasoline · Mar 2006

1995 plymouth grand voyager air bag light is defective to clockspring. *ts the consumer 2000 chrysler town and country was recalled for the clockspring. The consumer believes the clockspring recall should be extended to include the 1995 plymouth voyager. *nmOwner report · Air Bags · Dec 2005
(1) my 1995 plymouth voyager has a defective clockspring assembly causing the horn to not work and the air bag to be disabled. There is a recall on the 1996 plymouth voyager (ref NHTSA campaign id number : 02v293000) for this exact problem, but I am told that I must pay a chrysler dealer approximately $100 diagnosis fee in order for chrysler to consider offering assistance. I do not mind paying $100 diagnosis fee if I am guaranteed to get the money back when they tell me that the clockspring is definitely the problem. All I want is to get the part for free and I'll install it myself. (2) no consequences yet. (3) the problem has not been repaired - awaiting chrysler help. *jbOwner report · Air Bags · Oct 2005

The front driver seat is leaning back and we can not adjust it back to an upright positon. About 4 years ago we had the same problem and found the meatl chaisis for the seat was defective. I am concerned that if we got into an accident that the seat is basicly useless and would not absorb any impact. Is chrysler doing anyhting the defective seats or replacing them? *akOwner report · Seats · May 2004
