What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The consumer has difficulty slowing the vehicle down and a crash occurred.
This chrysler grand voyager van has a drive belt problem. It slips off in the wet weather and causes you to loose control of the vehicle. I have had this van since 2005 and have replaced this belt 38 times. Now they offer a solution kit so far so good. Chrysler should have made this known to their customers.
I'm 5' 5 and the seat belt still goes across my stomach, sounds like belt problems- not booster seat necessities! (related vehicle information: model year=2000, make=minivan, model=chrysler).
2000 dodge van driver top of driver side shock tower rusting out and requires replacement. I've been informed that this is a common problem that appears to exist mainly on drivers side. It appears to be a manufacturing defect which could cause serious damage or harm if failure occurs at speed.
Purchased a 2000 chrysler town & country van in november 1999 with custom alloy wheels. During july 2005 a front tire went flat, which I fixed for $20. As the flat occurred when the car was parked, consequence was minor. Repair shop reported that the flat was caused by the plating of the wheels cutting into the tire.
The vehicle experienced extended stopping distance when the brake was applied. Dealer was notified and offered explanation.
