Six problems related to steering have been reported for the 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was in my way to work when it was raining ever time it rains the belts comes off this is very dangerous. I had no power steering at all when this happen with muscle I managed to pull over onto the shoulder of the road. Once water hits the tension wheel belt it knocks it off which makes it slide off every time.
Since purchasing this van used last year 2011, my van has a high pitched squealing noise. Dealership (3rd party) stated it was only a wet belt and would stop once the belt dried. This noise never stopped. My teen driver was alone when the belt snapped causing her to loose control of the steering. Seeing other post of similar or worse case scenarios I am looking into further action. Neither the mechanic at the dealership or any other mechanic ever stated to me that this issue is common in this vehicle.
Serpentine belt falls off all the time it pulls inward tward the engine slightly any when it gets just a little wet it slips off. The tensioner pulley looks like it needed to becocked upward just the slightest little bit and then it dont move gates aftermarket product works perfect for all who use it chyrsler should be the ones paying to have this part replaced not us this is way to common of a problem .
While driving vehicle about 50 mph when stopping at a red light,did not find steering or braking power. Dealer was contacted.
Consumer was driving approx. 35-40 when he began to feel vibrations in the steering control panel. Consumer has taken vehicle to be repaired 3 times. Finally the dealer told him that there was a bulletin posted for this problem. The bulletin specifies the problem, and the corrective actions to be taken includes the installation of a damper into the steering colmn. The installed damper eliminated some of the vibration , but does satisfy consumer.
Consumer called complaining about having problem with the dealer, consumer received a recall notice about six months ago, arranged an appointment with the dealer. Has been six months and they don't have the part. Please provide further information. Ts.
