  Comfortable traveler - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By reliable car - October 1 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle brand new in 1998, after about 50,000 miles the head gasket blew, my extended warranty covered that. At 67,000 miles the master cylinder went out, thankfully the extended warranty covered that before it expired. This vehicle goes thru brakes like crazy, it seems like I have to replace them about every 8 months. However, I do have 140,000 miles on this vehicle and it gets better gas mileage now than when it was new. It is very comfortable on long trips, and the room is unbeatable.

  Best Family Vehicle - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By HamboLA - August 4 - 11:10 am

  Well, this is my 4th Plymouth minivan. Been driving them since 1987. My 1998 Grand Voyager has over 175,000 miles, I have replaced crank position sensor, throttle position sensor and map sensor, replaced leaking valve cover gaskets, radiator and serpentine belt five times. Did all repairs myself except for the three sensors. The only headache problem is the yellowed headlight lenses. Just did a full brake job. Not bad for 175,000 miles. About time to trade it in, but hate to give up the family memories. Just wish it got better than the 18 MPG over the years. Overall, great family vehicle.

  Huge Electrical Problems - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Band Mom - March 22 - 7:20 am

  I loved my Voyager until at around 90k all of the gauges stopped working, the interior lights began to flash on and off, the door signal kept ringing and the ABS and service lights came on. All of these things were intermittent, so the dealership couldnt nail down the problem. The diagnostics had so many error codes they couldnt figure it out from that either. It got worse over time. A dealer finally told me that electrical problems were notorious in this vehicle and it was probably caused by a defective body control module? Which is no longer available for this car and the used ones are mostly also defective. So now I have a car that will not pass inspection and I cant sell.

  Love Our Plymouth Minivan - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Mopar_Al - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Only "major" problem was a sudden leak in the fuel tank which Chrysler quickly (and wisely) paid for despite being well outside of warranty period. Changed transmission fluid at around 30K and have had *no* problems. Over 60K now and just recently replaced serpentine belt, otherwise just oil changes and a set of tires (btw, dont put Costo Kirkland tires on this vehicle, they dont handle well.)

  Reliability Problems after 100,000 miles - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Ten Year Owner - October 18 - 10:43 am

  Ive owned this vehicle for ten years and it still is a comfortable, spacious, and convenient ride. For the past few years, since it hit the 100,000 mile mark Ive had to replace the transmission ($2,500), the circuit board and the body control module ($1,500). Im probably going to have to drop some more cash as the "service engine soon" and "oil light" are on again. They should make those lights in the shape of dollar signs. A consistent theme across these reviews is widely favorable ratings in the early years, followed by substantial customer dissatisfaction with reliability and repairs in the later years.

  mixed feelings - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By prd to b an american - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle 5+ years, within 6 months had to replace the transmission under factory warrenty, it has been thru 3 batteries (the lights go off after 5 min. even if the doors are left open). Other than oil changes, transmission flushed, & new starter, it has been pretty reliable. I feel pretty lucky. My mixed feelings come from: what you know, what they say, and when will it happen to me. I have 72000k on it and plan on removing it from my ownership ASAP. I am going back to the other makers until America can build a reliable car.
