Abs light was on for 6 months then went off. 4. Intermittent problem . . Door locks go up and down by themselves, while there are bells dinging, and the interior lights flash on and off all at the same time. Look like some kind of christmas tree on wheels going down the road. Unable to duplicate for the dealer. Not fixed. 5. Six times in the last week van has stalled. 5 when turning and once while at a stoplight. Unable to duplicate for the dealer. Not fixed. 6. While there for the stalling, had them look at the recall for airbag because the light stays on longer than all the others, they said it was fine and didn't need to be fixed. . . . . These are a few of the things I can remember. I will also remember not to buy another Chrysler.

15 Door Latch problem of the 1996 Plymouth Voyager

Failure Date: 03/13/1999

Mis-lead, deceived and possibly lied to in a used vehicle purchase involving a trade. The vehicle door locks do not work and I injured myself while trying to lock them. I consider the locks to be a safety issue as well as an insurance issue. I now just want to unwind the deal and desperately need help in doing this. I notified the dealer in less than 18 hours of purchase of the situation. I no longer trust them or the vehicle. I need to act quickly in order to get my trade back (which I trust). I have learned a lot but do not feel that I should continue to suffer if it is possible to unwind this. I was also mislead on the whereabouts of my trade in attempting to return their vehicle today - they said at first it had already been sold, then changed the story. That drive this morning was 1. 5 hours from my house yet 1. 5 from their location. I spent several hours in an unfamiliar city (in the rain) trying to resolve this before returning home. As they said they no longer had my vehicle I had no other choice. In order to switch vehicles I (or someone) will need to drive 3 hours one way. I work full time, attend college at night twice a week and am raising a daughter alone. Even hearing all this in my phone call to them 1/2 way there this morning, the person I talked to insisted that I was being unreasonable. I understand it is a "buyer beware" world, but after having been deceived do I have recourse? anyway, I could go on and on. . . Please help!! thank you.
