1995 Plymouth Voyager LE 3.3 from North America
Summary:
The car has a very good engine, but everything else is fair to poor
Faults:
I bought the car with 38k miles, and the transmission had just been replaced by the previous owner.
I paid $15700 in Aug. of 1997.
The car was nearly problem free until 150k miles.
Since then I have replaced the AC compressor twice, and converted it to 134.
The CV joints 4 times. Major weak point of the car.
Rear wiper quit at 160k.
Power steering went out at 182k.
Sliding door on RH side does not open/close lock/unlock well.
Serpentine belt in engine compartment comes off easily if you hit a big puddle of water or a small snow bank, and is a pain to get back on!
Mileage averages 21MPG.
Transmission has been progressively been consuming more oil since 250K. Now up to 1 qt of ATF+4 at every fueling.
Doors began to wear out (hinges and latches) at 250k as well as the passenger power window motor.
Driver side is hot and passenger side is too cool in summer and winter.
Spark plugs are impossible to change yourself.
Radio lights are dead.
General Comments:
This car is comfortable to drive on long trips.
Has a nice stereo... make that had a nice stereo... now the radio works, but nothing will light up to tell you what you are doing.
Very reliable engine. Still uses no oil after 327k miles.
Has always been a good starting car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have a '93 Plymouth Voyager, and my experience matches yours exactly, right down to the radio lights going out. There is a new serpentine belt kit for about $100 that fixes that problem. I was to the point that any little puddle would make it slip off.
I had a rebuilt transmission installed at 125,000 miles. Now up to 332,000. I have to get the driver's side CV shaft replaced. Praying it will hold up til I get to the shop.
The 3.3 liter engine must be terrific. I change the oil every 5,000 miles. It's starting to eat oil, but otherwise no engine problems.
