Two problems related to rear window wiper washer have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Rear Window Wiper Washer problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2003

The contact owns a 1996 Plymouth Voyager. Since November of 2003, the transmission has been replaced three different times. After purchasing a brand new transmission, it failed again the very same day and needed to be replaced again. The contact has had the top half of the engine rebuilt. The vehicle is stuck in drive and will not hold fluid. The front windshield wipers activate without a power surge in the vehicle. In addition, the rear bolts keep coming out of the shocks. The contact has taken the vehicle to have the bolts tightened three or four times. The engine is ticking and smoking. The serpentine belt slips off if it gets even slightly wet from snow or rain. The check engine light sporadically flashes on and off or constantly remains illuminated. The air conditioner was completely serviced; however, it cannot be used because of the transmission failure. The current mileage was 155,000 and failure mileage was 116,250. Update 09/10/08 updated 09/15/08.

2 Rear Window Wiper Washer problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2000

I found the Plymouth technical service bullitin numbers regarding wiper problems just like mine. Starting w/083695reva, 081597, 081597a, 083198. These all describe the same problems I have had prior to a total failure of windshield wipers w/the exception of cleaning where it will make two passes, and no more. If I want to use the wipers for anything, I can only do so by using the washer option. This is an update to my information I submitted on 10/10/2001. Thank you.
