1994 Plymouth Voyager Ex 3.3 gas
Summary:
A well designed van, but too unreliable
Faults:
The engine needed to be rebuilt at 18,000 kilometers (about 12,000 miles)
Air conditioning system failed
Starter, battery, and alternator replaced
Main computer replaced
Brake pads and rotors replaced at 55,000 Kilometers
Hard to start once vehicle is warmed up
Transmission clunks into low gear when slowing down or stopping
Front seats not very supportive or comfortable for long highway driving
Chrysler dealers can't diagnose starting problem.
General Comments:
The Voyager is well designed for hauling people or hauling goods.
It drives and rides like a car and handles well in city or highway driving.
The engine is powerful enough to do the job and fuel consumption is reasonable.
In spite of all of the positives it not reliable and is plagued by serious engine, transmission, electrical problems.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 1994 Plymouth Voyager and I'd never buy another one, either. It has 149,000 miles on it. I bought it 2 years ago.
In that time, I've had to replace the entire air conditioning system, motor mounts (and replace stuff damaged by that), transmission, and have had various other repairs.
However, the big problem I've still got is that every time standing water splashed under the engine, the serpentine belt slips off!!! The mechanic got a new splash guard and put it on, and today I was out and - guess what - it slipped off again! Fortunately, I was close to home.
I bought it from friends, who could have used it for a trade-in and gotten more $$ that way. They told me it had never happened to them. I'm not sure I believe that any more, it's happened to me too much.
