Four problems related to windshield wiper/washer switch have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The windshield wipers go on whenever they want to, and the windshield wiper speed varies when set on low or medium, this has been a problem since the day we purchsed this car. The windshield wiper switch has been replaced 3 times. 2 times the car was under warranty this last replacement Chrysler paid for the part as goodwill, and the dealer charged me $68. 00. The wiper speed still varies (the problem has not been fixed). We have also had the weather stripping replaced 3 times and it is still falling off. The blower motor for the fan does not work on all speeds the fan motor was replaced once under warranty and again on 11/24 for which Chrysler paid for the parts and the dealer charged me $102. 00. Both sliding doors can not be opened from the inside. The door latches have been replaced 6 times, 5 times under warranty, and the last time on 11/24 Chrysler paid for the parts as goodwill and the dealer charged $102. There has been other repair work done to the sliding doors in total my car has been serviced 23 times. Alltogether it has cost me $352 to fix things that have been wrong since day one and that other voyager owners also seem to have the same problem with.
Reported steering problem in Jul 98. Dealer said they were unable to duplicate failure. Dealer was cutter Chrysler Jeep of waipahu. It has been a problem since purchasing the vehicle and seems to be getting worse. Now the steering is locking-up (intermittently) when I go over a speed bump, causing loss of steering control. The windshield wiper problem was corrected by the same dealer on 24 Jul 98 as a malfunctioned switch that was on recall and they replaced it as a goodwill repair because vehicle was out of warranty by mileage only. It once agian is failing intermittently. Both of these I feel are traffic safety concerns that the manufacturer should research and correct immediately. The power distribution center I believe is intermittently shorting out and causing many small electrical problems like radio works, then doesn't, lights go on by themselves, and things like that. Once again I feel that if left uncorrected this may also pose a potential traffic safety issue. All three failures I feel are based on vehicle production line problems that may be affecting many vehicles in the same manner. Please advise on what to do. Thank you for your time and effort on my issues and concerns. Sincerely, louis c. Martinez.
