Wiring Problems of Plymouth Grand Voyager

I started vehicle to warm up while at our cabin in northern michigan. After about 3 minutes of running I noticed a bad odor coming from the vehicle. Upon inspection of the vehicle I discovered smoke inside of the vehicle. I moved it away from my garage and shut it off. I opened the doors and the left rear speaker next to the seat was on fire! I went into my cabin,grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the fire.

Traveling home from town I made a sharp left turn and noticed a warning momentary warning beep. The airbag dash lamp illuminated momentarily and went out. After making a second left turn it stayed on. The next day I noticed the lamp stayed on and the horn did not work. I have not checked the cruise yet.

Break pedal stop light switch. The wire harness moves every time you step on the pedal, thus making the wires break. When the wire breaks the stop lights don't work and could and almost lead to a few rear end crashes I had. Wires replaced and had pedal and harness to configure not to move when the break pedal pressed.

Severe electrical problem. Wipers come on by themselves, headlights stay on, dashboard lights go on and off while driving. Vehicle overheats, a/c stops working. This has been the absolute worst vehicle ever owned. It cost too much to keep repairing, please advise on the electrical problem possibilities. Thanks.

I received batteries in 1999, 2000, & 2001 for the same van from the dealer because they all lost power. Now I need a new wiring harness for that van because acid from those batteries leaked into the current wiring harness which will cost me over $1000. The dealer has been doing the service on my van and I have not been informed of the problem of acid leaks into the wiring all of those years. In 2002 I bought a batery from kragen auto parts. I don't know why batteries in the van lose power and have to be replaced every year. Van defect? possibly. Now the dealer says that because there is so many miles on the van, they aren't responsible. But they must have know that there was something wrong since 1999. I have a 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I feel that the present milage has nothing to do with the battery problem that still exist with the van, and that the dealer was and still is well aware of this problem.

When car is slowing to make a turn, the windshield wipers come on. The service engine light stays on. When a diagnostic test was performed, the code which came up indicated a problem did not exist. It was determined a short caused the windshield wipers and engine light to stay on. When the computer was reset, the light came back on in a matter of minutes. I do not think this problem is due to age of the car. Many of my friends who have these same autos have the same problem. To correct the problem will require an extensive search of the electrical wiring and is performed on an hourly rate. This could well cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to track down the problem. I am unable to sell my vehicle due to the problem without spending a large sum of money to correct the problem. This problem began several years ago, but was only sporadic. It did not occur enough to warrant a search. In the past year it has become routine. What can Plymouth corporation do to correct this problem without the expense being that of the owner. The mechanic at the shop also indicated that he was completely familiar with this problem occurring in most vans of this age. Please advise what the next step should be.

Consumer states the wiring harness is completely melted down, consumer wants to know if similar cases on this make and type of vehicle has caught on fire (claim # 59-v461-637).

A spark from an unknown source ignited gasoline from a small leak in the fuel pump and resulted in the minivan catching on fire. The wiring of the vehicle was also burned in the fire. The repair shop who intially looked at the vehicle felt it would be better for Chrysler to perform the repair work due to the wiring being involved. Our local Chrysler dealership refused to allow the car to be toed to the dealership until national Chrysler sent out an investigator to determine the cause of the fire. We have been provided little information from Chrysler other than their belief the fire was not due to a manufacturing problem. They have not stated what they believe caused the fire and the delay in getting our vehicle repaired was over 1 week. We have yet to get the vehicle back!.
