7 Underhood Wiring problem of the 1997 Plymouth Voyager

Failure Date: 04/15/2001

Ibought the car in feburaury. I brought it back in 3 days with the the van making a noise in it they replaced the serpentene belt. I no longe herd the noise for a little while. When I bought it I was told they would fix the a/c I would have to bring it back in to fix it. I brought it back and they said it was fixed nd it only worked for the drive half way home. I then brought it back for four days while theytook aparrt the dash board and replaced the evaporator. I checked to see if the a/c worked and it did but I turned off due to little gas in the tank. The next time I used it was in April to go to the beach wth friends. It worked going up there and then on the way back it was not working and my van over heated. I then brought it to them and asked them to look at it. They then rigged a fuse to the clutch to keep the fan on at all times so it would not over heat. I felt that they were going to charge me fr it to be repaired for this time it was after the 30 day warranty so there for I was waiting to see if I could get money together to fix it. I then stated having problems with it over heating so I called them afte another mechaniclooked at it and said it was a fire waiting tohappen and things were not put in correctly, he even told them and thy told him to tell me to make an appt. So I called and they told me they could not get it until wed. I explained I had to go out of town and that it was a fire hazard. I then asked if I could bring it in to have him look att it an he said no it would be wed. I tried to have them lok and see if they could come up with a game plan. I then called them yesteday and he said I refusedto bring it inand that is not te case. I told him I was going to bring it to you and e said go a head and then hung up on me. I then called back talked to the owner and he listened temporarly until I told him I used the a/c once he then said I was being dishonest and then at that point I told him he has no right calling me a lier .

11 Underhood Wiring problem of the 1996 Plymouth Voyager

Failure Date: 05/19/1999

My minivan had a slight jerk and the tachometer and speedometer went to zero, the engine was still running and all lights were on so I continued, when the car was restarted the guages registered correctly. 10 days later the same thing happened on acceleration. Then the guages all pegged at high end and blue smoke poured from under the hood. The resulting fire burned out my started, battery and wiring harness. A Chrysler dealership is repairing the problem, but under my auto insurance instead of vehicle warrenty. This same symptom of the guages going to zero was reported to my by a friend who owns of a 1997 Dodge caravan. This fire was extremely scary and I wanted a record of it in case of reports by other owners of similar problems thank you.
