Windshield Wiper/washer Problems of Plymouth Voyager - part 2

The problem with the wipers started with them going off on their own as you'd be driving down the road. They'd make a few swipes and stop. Now they do not work at all. The fuel gauge failed as I was also driving down the road. All of a sudden the low fuel bell went off and the gauge dropped to empty. Now it just bounces from empty to full while driving all the while the light and bell are going off. I was told of a recall on 94 & 95 models for the same make of van for the wiper situation and I did contact a local dealer for details. Sounds like the same problem I am currently experiencing. Any advice and help appreciated. Thanks.

The windshield wipers will turn on at any time or when l and r turn signals are used.

Windshield wiper work intermittently.

Fuel tank: rollover valve located on top of plastic fuel tank is welded into fuel tank at manufacture. First tank failed at 6000 miles on vehicle, tank cracked around weld at rollover valve site. Fuel leakage and vapor leakage ensued until tank replaced by dealer (quality Chrysler Jeep Plymouth eagle, albuquerque, nm in Aug 1996). The replacement tank developed a leak at the same site, weld of rollover valve to tank body, in December 1998. Both tanks failed in similar manner, both failures cause raw fuel and vapor to leak continuously from tank. Problem with multi-function switch (turn signals, high/low beam, wiper, washer switch, steering column mounted. When driving, the front and rear windshield wipers will automatically turn on by themselves. First multifunction switch replaced by quality Chrysler Plymouth Jeep eagle, albuquerque nm, late 1996. Dealer replaced multifunction switch. Problem recurred in November 1998. Dealer replaced multifunction switch a second time. Fuel tank leak at rollover valve site, and multifunction switch both failed two times in same vehicle. It is apparent that the tank manufacturing process is deficient, and that there is a basic design flaw in the multifunction switch.

While driving in rain windshield whiper stopped working without any warning. Had to pull vehicle over. Consume rcouldn't see to drive.

Intermittently while driving windshield wipers come on without application. Van was taken to the dealership for this problem. Dealer was not able to duplicate the problem. Please provide any further information.

This van, slightly over 1 year old, has a history of stalling, windshield wipers going on without reason and off, radio breaking, tape player making noise when not used and the brakes went out the first time, I was told it was fixed, and the very next day they went out again almost causing a serious accident and deaths. This is serious and I would like to know actions taken by NHTSA concerning this as I have seen many other instances/complaints of stalling, windshield wiper problems and serious brake defects and breakdowns on NHTSA's customer complaints on the internet. I believe that NHTSA should give more serious investigative attention against daimler Chrysler concerning the stalling and brake problems as this is putting people's lives in danger it seems on a constant and re-occuring basis!.

Abs brakes; when applying brakes in normal conditions, pedal went to the floor and brakes failed to stop vehicle, causing a extended stopping distance before vehicle came to stop. Windshield wipers operate sporatically.

Windshield wipers come on without turning them on, van was taken to the dealer about three times without the defect being corrected. Air bag lights came on also. Vehicle is now out of warranty and now the air bag light is on all the time, horn does not work and the cruise control does not work.

Wimdshield wipers are working intermittently.

Transmission replaced by dealer for free on 5-1-97, struts replaced 11-1-97 for 616. 01 by dealer, windshield wipers come on when not in use, cylinder head leaking oil 4-3-99.

The air bag light was intermitent for the last couple of months but 2 weeks ago it came on and stayed on. I saw on tv that this was a known problem with the clock spring int the 1996 Voyagers and could be harmful if the bag accidently went off or worse didn't go off in a crash. Please push a recall! the wiper blades have come on without activation since new. The dealer replaced the switch once but said they could not duplicate whenever I took it back under warranty. Now they come on frequently and it becomes distracting to the point that it could cause an accident. The fuel gauge indicates 3/4 full when the tank is full and the low fuel lite comes on when there is still 5-6 gallons in the tank. This was reported under warranty but I was told there was nothing wrong. Now it's in the tech bulletins and I have to pay to have it fixed. The door locks have been replaced on 3 of the 4 doors by Chrysler. The drivers door twice, and sliding door twice. Once we couldn't get out the sliding door. The ignition module went bad this labor day weekend. I parked and the car wouldn't start so I had it towed to hoffman Chrysler in hagerstown, MD. They troubleshot it to the module no having a ground. The warning code indication the auto shutdown circuitry was activated. What if this happened on the interstate at 65 mph?.

When turning on left signal front windshield wipers will come on. Sometimes rear windshield wipers will also come on. Took vehicle to dealer about 5 times. Each time they said that they had fixed it, but problem reoccurred. This is unsafe because while driving on freeway and windshield wipers coming on, it will distract the driver.

Electrical problem causes with windshield wipers, dome lights, 'door ajar' light,door locks, and turn signals on dash.

Windshield wipers are not reliable while driving. Windshield wipers automatically come on when it is not raining. When it does rain windshield wipers do not come on. Dealer is aware of problem. Please provide any further information.

Windshield wipers activate on their own intermittently.

The wipers sometimes work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they work all on their own. This is a safety defect. Chrysler has tried 5 times to repair the problem with no success. The lack of wiping ability could contribute to an accident.

When driving in wet weather and braking activates the abs, the windshield wipers stop working.

The windshield wipers failed during a rain storm.

This vehicle has had problems ever since it was new. I have had major components replaced and it isnt even paid for yet. The alternator was replaced when it had less than 4,000 miles on it. The wipers still come on by themselves inexplicably - sometimes the key is not even in the ignition! they still have not remedied that problem. The major complaint I have is the engine. I truly believe this is a dangerous vehicle. I had the oil galley plug recall done (supposedly) and in September I had to have a head gasket job done on this van. In the recall it states, and I quote "in certain vehicles, the engine cylinder head oil galley plug does not seal properly and engine cylinder head oil is not adequately retained. Well, they tried to tell me the two repairs were unrelated. I disagree. If my recall was done properly, then why do my records indicate I complained of oil leaks after that recall was done? and if oil was leaking from the oil galley plug, wouldnt that cause breakdown of the head gasket over time? it would. Now the latest: yesterday, February 26, 2000, the engine began sputtering and the check engine light came on (I had 1/2 tank of gas). I had to have it towed, once again, to have it worked on. This van has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. I could not, in good conscience, ever sell it to someone else. So now I feel like I am stuck with a piece of garbage. I would like reimbursement for the expense of repairs, plus what it has cost me in renting a vehicle to drive while they repaired this lemon.

Windshield wipers would go on/off by themselves. This caused a hazardous problem for driver. Vehicle been to dealership for windshield wiper repairs. Since repairs done on wipers, the signal switch failed to work properly.

The consumer has experienced the following problems. Transmission failure, fuel rail line and tank. Clockspring, head gasket, and the wipers will come on when not in use. Scc ph.

Windshield wipers come on without application, and sometimes cut off during performance. Wipers are very sporaiically working. Dealer has seen vehicle 3 times, and problem still exists. Brake shoes and wheel cylinder makes noise. Power window switch failed. Gas tank leaks due to defective sending unit.

Windshield wiper turns on by itself while driving. This is a significant distraction while driving. I am concerned of the potential for accident if we are startled by the wiper starting while in rush hour or other 'tricky' driving situations.

Was driving vehicle when the windshield wipers came on by themselves & then went off by themselves. The problem is intermittent. Whenever windshield wipers are turned on, would work just fine. Have contacted dealer & mechanic wants to diagnose problem.

The design of the windshield wiper length 28" does not clear windshield properly in icy weather conditions, not enough pressure can be applied due to large size of blade.

Transmission stuck in first gear, also abs failure, causing brakes to shake, engine would lose power while accelerating onto freeway; front windshield wipers would come on on their 0wn.

My windshield wipers turn on and do not turn off despite having replaced the multifunction switch (by aaa service center upon advisement of Chrysler dealer) and replacement of wiper motor with a mopar rebuilt motor while traveling. I currently have the power disconnected to the wiper motor and reconnect when it rains or snows. The wiper blades working on the dry windshield wears them out reduces visability. Dt.

Windshield wipers turn on by themselves especially after turns; wipers sometimes don't turn on; dealer replaced wiper/turn signal but problem still exists.
