What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The belt has come off 5 times in the last 6 months, causing the loss of control and loss of power steering, alternator drive and cooling system. This has left my wife and 3 small children stranded several times. Upon researching this problem, this is a known design flaw with the van.
My 1995 jeep grand cherokee limited 4x4 keeps stalling all the time. Rough idle when started and check engine light comes on all the time. Also, alarm is defective and flashes the exterior lights and honks the horn anytime any of the doors are opened or closed and the power lock button is pushed to lock or unlock.
The lights will come on after being turned off and parked overnight leaving the battery dead. The fan motor has failed for the defroster again. This is the second repair. In the snow belt this is a safety related feature.
Plymouth voyger minivan I just purchsed a 1999 voyger and the first day that I had it I was shocked that it did not have a break shift interlock system installed.
Dealer refused to fix the recall because my van windows have chalk on them to tell the public the problems I have had with this vehicle.
