  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.

  99 Van just keeps on going! - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By joggerdude - September 3 - 2:43 am

  We bought our van in late 99 with 30K miles. It was a rental program van. We paid $18K out the door. Its been super reliable and so comfortable on those long trips. Im not sure how we could get a family of 4 to the beach for a week (including 3 bikes) with any other vehicle. Only issue I had was replacing the rack and pinion when I think all I really just needed was a power steering pump. Other things are typical: tires, starter, battery, belt/tensioner, etc. Transmission has never given me any trouble yet I hear horror stores all the time. We also have never charged the AC and it still blows cold. My wife uses it continually in too. The kids have grown up so now we may sell.

  wont get fooled again - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By gary d. - June 12 - 10:00 am

  We bought this car new for my wife with 3 kids in 5/98. Liked the size space and comfort. Those remain its primary assets. Reliability has become a problem. While never leaving us stranded it has required multiple repairs. Thank god we bought an extended warranty. However, we recently got hit with a head gasket, timing chain, transmission pan etc. When the warranty recently expired, the evaporator on the ac went ($1100), needs tires and probably a starter. We decided not to put more money into it and last week traded it in, despite it having plenty of life left. Happy to get $2000 in real money towards a Toyota.

  Money Pit - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Fed Up Mom - April 28 - 12:33 am

  We purchased our 99 van in 00 with only 7,000 miles on it. The engine went in 2004. Since then we have replaced oil pump, fuel pump, radiator, and now the transmission is gone. The driver window doesnt work, as well as the left rear vent window. The power lock for the rear hatch stopped working in 2002. We have had trouble with the ac for the past 4 years. The vans rear left speaker caught fire in 2005 while I was driving to work. Thank God my children werent with me at the time. The bushings are shot and the brake system has always given us trouble. From the first year we purchased it the van leaked water into the front. I regret the day we bought this van.

  Good all around Mini Van - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager

  Our minivan has been better than great, over 200k, no major problems to date, good ride, very good gas mileage, about 22/23 MPG (a blend of highway and local).

  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.

  Transmission Problems - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Skip - January 21 - 2:00 am

  Vehicle bought in February 2000 with 24,000 miles on it. It had been a reliable vehicle until the transmission "blew up" at 69,000 miles going 35mph. Lost total control of the vehicle. The differential blew a 6" by 3" whole in the casing completely distroying the transmission. A life threatening defect for anyone traveling at a high rate of speed. Incident happened outside of warranty. Reported to dealer and Chrysler but hey were only concerned with the warranty status.
