Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 1995 Plymouth Voyager owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Our 1995 Plymouth Voyager was serviced for NHTSA recall 99V113000 and manufacturer's recall 818/air bag deployment and within a couple of months after service the air bag light had come on . Light had never been on previous to recall servicing . Returned vehicle years later (light on entire time) and requested to service the problem if related to recall NHTSA recall 99V113000 and manufacturer's recall 818/air bag deployment . Dealer has charged me $82 dollars to tell me that wiper motor needs replacement and additionally a cost of $247.90 would be required to fix the problem. I was informed that the air bags will not work until wiper motor is replaced. My request to investigate this claim under the recall action was ignored by staff/technicians. …
Direct frontal collision with side of another car at approximately 35 MPH. Air bags did not deploy. Driver sustained injuries consistent with whiplash. Vehicle had recall work done on airbag system at dealer earlier in the month. There was white powder in the vehicle immediately after impact and 2-3 hours afterwards there was a hissing sound in the dash area. Front bumper is pushed into engine compartment, hood is buckled and radiator is damaged. I feel the air bags should have deployed in this situation.
Vehicle was involed in an accident; impact of 40 MPH,in which both air bags failed to deploy. Also, driver seat belt did not lock, causing the driver to hit windshield, and rear seat passengers (children) to receive minor injuries to eye and ears. Dealer/manufacturer were not contacted at this time.
Consumer was involved in a ten car collision and the driver's and passenger's side air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was sitting at a stand still and the vehicle was rear ended, pushing the vehicle into another vehicle. The vehicle is at the dealer.
Consumer states while driving in raining conditions, vehicle in front braked suddenly and consumer could not stop in time, consumer rear ended the vehicle and the air bags did not deploy, one person was injured (claim # 43-r423-180).
While driving hit another vehicle head-on (driver side), driver's air bag did not deploy. Vehicle had swerved in front of Voyager. Child safety seat in rear came unfastened . Took vehicle to dealer for repairs.
While driving vehicle was involved in an accident and three people injured, the air bag did not deploy, there were 2 other vehicle involved in the accident. (claim # 03-3173-839).
I have experienced 2 failures of the accessory drive belt tensioner on my 1995 Plymouth Voyager. The first failure occurred while I was operating the vehicle at about 10 MPH. The belt tensioner assembly broke away from the mounting resulting in the loss of my power steering and nearly causing an accident. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer and a new belt tensioner put in. The service man told me that they had seen a lot of these belt tensioner failures. Recently, during a service visit to replace the faulty airbag on the vehicle, the service people reported that the belt tensioner was again "frozen" and needed to be replaced. When I asked whether they would replace the part for free, they told me to call Chrysler customer service. …
(1) my 1995 Plymouth Voyager has a defective clockspring assembly causing the horn to not work and the air bag to be disabled. There is a recall on the 1996 Plymouth Voyager (ref NHTSA campaign id number : 02V293000) for this exact problem, but I am told that I must pay a Chrysler dealer approximately $100 diagnosis fee in order for Chrysler to consider offering assistance. I do not mind paying $100 diagnosis fee if I am guaranteed to get the money back when they tell me that the clockspring is definitely the problem. All I want is to get the part for free and I'll install it myself. (2) no consequences yet. (3) the problem has not been repaired - awaiting Chrysler help.
While driving turned the switch to operate rear windshield wiper. Rear windshield wiper motor failed, causing a failure of rear wipers. Also, air bag light on instrument panel to illuminate. Dealership cannot determine the reason for the air bag light coming on. Please provide any additional information / attachments. Note: previous investigation for this problem (pe 97 049).

Air bags
Vehicle description: Mini vans. The wiring that initiates the driver and/or passenger air bag could electrically short circuit to ground. A short circuit to ground that exists immediately after turning the ignition key to the "on" or "start" position can cause the air bag(s) to inadvertently deploy.
Remedy: Dealers will perform an electronic diagnostic check. Any short circuits identified in either the driver's or passenger side air bag initiator wire circuit will be repaired.
