Exterior Lighting · at 175,000 miles · reported Oct 12, 2020
Reverse lights do not work. Told by 2 mechanics that chrysler had repaired via recall or letters in past. I was told this is a routine problem with the car. This is a major safety issue and should be covered.
Structure · at 142,500 miles · reported Aug 8, 2017
So I was driving down the road and I heard a noise from the rear end of the van mind you the speed limit is 45mph here. I drive it to the nearest shop to have them look at it , they came in and told me I'm lucky to have made it this far as ( The rear chassis has broke! ) this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed just like ford motor company did with their vans !!! I have heard about other voyager vans having this issue in salt belt states .

The contact owns a 2003 chrysler voyager. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle shook and failed to accelerate over 50 MPH. The vehicle felt as if it would stall. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was an electrical cable failure that ran through the fuel injection and needed to replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 217,000.
Electrical System · reported Jul 1, 2014
Our van model / year isn't listed under the ignition switch recall, but we have the identical issue; you can remove the key in any position - whether the motor is running, or is on accessory.
Air Bags · at 142,900 miles · reported Dec 2, 2011
The failure came suddenly. One day, while driving, the airbag light illuminated and then was extinguished a few minutes after. The second or third time it on remained lit permanently. I immediately reported to the garage in which I bought the car on occasion. Could find the failure. He asked me to go directly to the chrysler dealer. The failure has not repaired, even the cruise control and the horn are inoperative. I can no longer take the vehicle. I called the chrysler dealer in region to talk him about it. He told me that this failure, without any other failure will be charged around 300-350…
