MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER VAN WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING. HE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, AND WHEN HE TRIED TO STOP THE VAN, THE BRAKES COULD NOT STOP IT, AND IT HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF IT. HE PUT IT INTO REVERSE, AND IT KEPT GOING FORWARD AND HIT THE CAR HARDER. HE TOOK THE VAN TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER AND ON THIS MIN VAN THE WIPERS ACT VERY ERRATIC. THEY WORK WHEN THEY WANT. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T SHUT OFF AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL OR STOP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR VIEW. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SERPENTINE BELTS POPPING OFF THE DRIVE LINE LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES AND COMPLETELY DISABLES THE VEHICLE. I ALSO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE REAR SHOCKS. THE BOLTS COME LOOSE AND DETACHES THE REAR SHICK FROM THE VAN LEAVING IT QUITE UNCONTROLLABLE WHILE DRIVING. ALL 3 ISSUES HAPPENS ON MANY OCCASIONS. ALL 4 OF THESE DEFECTS MAKE THIS VAN VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OR TRAVEL WITH. CURRENTLY MY VAN IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE OWNED THE VAN FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND IN 5 YEARS I HAVE BLOWN 3 TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
