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.
My 2000 chrysler grand voyager's engine burst into flames and almost the whole front end of my car, including my dash board and part of my front seats were burned up. The windshield and the windows on the passenger and driver's side in the front blew out. I suffered from smoke inhalation and did end up going to the emergency room. I also have pulled something in my back and arms that has made my arms from the elbows to the hands go painfully numb and prickly.
Van caught fire in the engine, on the driver's side, very likely as a result of o ring failure at fuel rails-not part of recall issued on september 9, 1999.
While slowing with traffic another vehicle came from left hand lane at about 45 MPH and hit consumer's vehicle on the rear. Then, consumer hit car in front of him. Upon impact, driver's seat broke and fell backwards. The passenger seat broke too. The air bags failed to deploy.
Vehicle is a 2000 chrysler grand voyager. Brake pedal was pushed during normal vehicle operation and pedal became "soft" with no resistance. Vehicle was towed to repair facility and diagnosis indicated rusty brake lines were the cause of the failure.
The steel brake lines rusted out and start leaking brake fluid, vehicle was unable to stop.nearly cause an accident.
