  By 12 years of horror - October 19 - 12:10 pm

  Worst car I ever owner(Ford Taurus a close second)I purchased this van new and have always taken it back for service every 3000 mi and did what ever the maintenance called for.Needless to say I have had constant problems from day one with this van.It has been towed more times than I want to remember.Over the years I have just about replaced everything-transmission,starter, generator, steering column,ignition switch 2x,AC parts,wheel cylinders, sway bushings 4x,computer module parts,radiator,gaskets..+++++ Everytime it was repaired I thought that would be it..but problems never stoped.Now that the second trans went again I finally gave up the ship @155K.Toyota/Honda/Subaru, here I come

  DEAD after five years - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By ellieirish - October 9 - 10:00 am

  I purchased our 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager in 1999. In 2000, the head gaskets blew which was an extremely expensive repair for a car just miles past the warranty. After a letter to Chrysler, we were reimbursed for 1/3 the cost of the repair. At 86,000 miles and after consistentr outine maintenance, the drive belt dropped off and the pistons cracked. The diagnosis: not worth the $3,000. to repair it. I had nine months left on my loan and got only half of what I owed for trade in. I wont go with another domestic van and have opted to go with the 2003 Mazda MPV after much research and comparison shopping.

  Cant wait to get rid of it - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By taximom - September 25 - 10:00 am

  It seemed fine the day we took it for a test drive. After we purchased it and put about 1800 miles on it the transmission started to have a clunk and jerk when you we were slowing down to 5 mph. It also feels like there is a slip in the transmission when you come to a stop sign and then take off.

  Solid, quiet - but many mechanical issue - 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Caseybea - October 5 - 3:53 pm

  I have owned since I got it new in 1999. For those considering buying one used - I recommend caution. Overall, the van is reasonably solid, and the seats are all heavy and mostly comfortable (way better than current stow-and-go). Quality/reliability is a concern - the alignment went bad after about 80,000 miles and theyve never been able to fix it right since. Front suspension on driver side is rusting through the body. Went through two transmissions. A/C compressor blew at only 34000 miles. Many other failures that have become expensive. If you can find one of these with low miles, its a good van for long trips. Highway mileage not terrible, but city mileage is low.

  Hey, its a van -- dont dream big - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Me - June 8 - 10:40 am

  Hand-me down from a family member. 99k miles. Engine and ride are nice, although the 3.3 liter is weak at passing speeds and gas mileage is miserable - Edmunds says 18 mpg city, 24 mpg hwy. Ive yet to break 21 mpg, and thats even driving 100% freeway on a few tanks. City gas mileage is 15-16 mpg. No, I dont hammer the gas pedal.FYI, reliablity not promising - previous owner had to pay 1k transmission fix that was under extended warranty, but the warranter went bankrupt (go figure) - meaning owner paid for warranty, but ended up paying for fix anyway. One more reason why I dont believe in extended warranties. But hey, I got this van for free, so why the heck am I complaining?

  trouble after 90,000 - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By tbal - October 21 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has bee a lot of trouble after we hit about 90,000 miles. Had to have transmission replaced and the A/C evaporator replaced. The engine is the 3.0 litre V6 and is now begging to smoke when started and makes the infamous "ticking" sound for several minutes when cold. Had problems with the belt tensioner. The electronics now seem to be giving out.... the intermitent wipers have stopped working and the instrument panel flashes on and off occasionally. The acceleration is adequate but somewhat lacking with the A/C on.

  1998 Gr. Voyager - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By woodrow ban - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Like most chrysler products, this vehicle experiences problems well before one would expect. While comfortable for famlies on trips and for large loads (it holds a lot of stuff - good for moving daughters to college/first apartments). A tall vehicle, expect slow response, and difficulty in elevated/gusty winds. Delivers not-bad milage. Interior feels, looks and performs cheaply. Blown head gasket within 3/36 milage, but outside the 3 years. Chrysler wouldnt help. Dealership stepped up and shared the cost. Unfortunately, Chrysler makes the vans with the most desirable overall package.

  Glad Plymouths are gone - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Plymouth gone - August 19 - 2:00 am

  Bought van from a dodge dealership, took it to a mechanic within 2 months of buying the car it had bad sway bar bushings. Then at 84,000 miles oil light comes on it was a bad oil pressure sensor. Next at 88,000 miles valve guide falls out of head and causes low compression in the number 2 combustion chamber, have head rebuilt for a total of $1000.00 6 months later at 102,000 miles it front main bursts and it throws a connecting rod on an interstate merge in D.C.. Numerous electrical problems to go along with the worst craftmanship in the world

  Transmissions Suck & Eats Tires - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Donewithchrysler - March 30 - 2:00 am

  We went through 3 transmissions in the first 75000 miles. Ive talked to several other owners and most or all have had transmission problems. Use one or more set of tires per year and their rated at 60k+ miles. Ive owned Chrysler mini-vans continuously since they came out in 1984. I wont buy anymore.

  Same as any other used vehicle - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Cindy - January 24 - 3:16 am

  I LOVE the roominess of the van. I have a large family and needed the room and often haul bigger items in it. It has been GREAT for this. This is the 3rd Grand Voyager Ive owed. Ive replaced the transmission, the surpentine belt several times until I finally replaced the pully and solved that problem. When we replaced the battery, the interior lights started flashing and the cruise stopped working, the lights and the horn dont work. Like everyone has said, transmission and electrical is where you will sink your money into this used vehicle. But every used car has problems. Weve taken the rear seats out and had a nice bed when we drove from Idaho to Arizona twice with no problems.
