A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
The consumer received a recall letter in 1997 for liftgate. Liftgate it willnot close. Consumer has tape on the liftgate.
While driving on the expressway between 60-65 MPH the transmission went back into second gear and the engine began revving up. Vehicle had to be driven in second gear about 4 miles. No prior warning of this happening. Transmisson needs to be replaced.
Passive restraints: front safety seat belt on passenger' side, the plastic that holds the male end of seat belt on strap is cracked in two places. Don't think it will hold if there is a crash. Took vehicle to dealer but it wasn't repaired because it was not under warranty.
I have a 1990 grand voyager minivan that that has developed a fuel leak on the 3.3 liter v6. The leak is from the seal on the fuel rail crossover tube that goes from the front head to the rear head of the engine. I discovered it leaking fuel at a rate of several drops per second. On the NHTSA web site, recall campaign 00v268000 describes the following: ''defect summary: vehicle description: mini vans built with 3.3l and 3.8l engines have fuel rails with nitrole rubber o-ring seals that can degrade over time.
The vehicle had a factory re- manufactured transmission installed, which is now sticking in second gear and frequently fails to shift into another gear. The manufacturer is aware of the failure, but hasn't provided a remedy to correct it. The transmission has to be replaced with another re-manufactured transmission.
