What owners wrote
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.
If tensioner had fallen off while travelimg, it very weel would have bounced straight through the fuel tank. I checked your listings an found 34 failures. Feel sure that the family that burned up on the stevenson expressway in chicago had this problem, but the blame was pushed off on a trucker loosing metal off of his truck. The garage here in town stated thay have replaced numerous tensioners, so this is a pretty on going thing.
While vehicle was at stop light it was rearended by another vehicle traveling 60 MPH. Neither air bag deployed, and driver's/passenger's seatbacks collapsed backwards upon impact.
On 21 february 2003, the bolt used to attach the right strut to the body and the rear liftgate broke not allowing the rear liftgate to open. A review of recalls for my model of vehicle (1992 plymouth voyager) on the NHTSA complaints database disclosed recall # 97v079000. The recall summary advised that owner notifications began during august 1997. I was never notified of this recall.
Brakes were defective. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, who stated that consumer's computer was defective, and it would have to be replaced for $1400.00. After taking the vehicle to another dealer it was discovered no defects on the computer. The brake pump was found to be defective.
