What 2003 Chrysler Voyager owners say
Electrical system
Tl* 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.
In the beginning, it began with the airbag light intermittent views. But quickly, a few kilometers later this light remained lit permanently. At the time, the cruise control works once on three, and then after nothing. The airbag light remains lit continuously, the cruise control does not work, and worse the horn is inoperative. I can no longer take the vehicle. I called the Chrysler dealer in my region who told me that this will be charged at around 300 euros because my vehicle is not affected by the recall of the Chrysler Voyager for those same failures. It is then by searching on the internet I came across your site sorry for my approximate english. I speak better french. Note: I write from france, but my country is not listed bellow, so I am to choose a town and phone number from America to fit the formula.
Lights
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.
On the evening of nov 19, 2005, the headlights on my 2003 Chrysler Voyager minivan flickered on and off while driving home. This happened again on the evening of nov 20, 2005. I took the car in to my mechanic on nov 21, 2005, and they could not recreate the problem nor could they identify the cause of the problem. I drove the car for about a month without a repeat incident, but last week (around fourth week in dec) the same thing happened again. I plan to take the car to the dealer next week. I am submitting this complaint because I have read online that there is an ongoing government investigation into this problem with 2001 and 2002 model year Chrysler minivans, and I want to go on record as experiencing this problem with a 2003 model year minivan. I May be significant that I purchased my 2003 minivan in nov, 2002, very early in the 2003 model year.
