NHTSA Complaint #10860315 — 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER

THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE I AM OUT AND ABOUT AND AFTER RETURNING THE MY VEHICLE I GO IN AND WHEN I START THE VEHICLE IT WILL START AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. SEEMS TO HAPPENS WHEN I USE IT FREQUENTLY OR ON HOTTER DAYS. ALSO THE PANEL INSIDE THE CAR THAT TELLS YOU YOUR SPEED THE GAS YOU HAVE THE GEARS ALL THAT STUFF WILL STOP FUNCTIONING BUT THE CAR WILL STILL BE DRIVABLE. THAT WILL HAVE I'S OWN TIME WHEN IT TOO DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK AND WHEN IT WILL WORK. THESE DO NOT HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME. THEY HAPPEN SEPARATELY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ALARM ISSUES LOCKING THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE ALARM IS USED PROPERLY. THEN AT A LATER TIME THE VEHICLE WILL START AND WORK AS IT HAD ONCE BEFORE. VEHICLE RUNS GREAT IT JUST OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT TURN ON. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY SAY IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I GOT A SECOND OPINION AND THAT MECHANIC ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS A ELECTRICAL ISSUE. NEITHER MECHANIC DOES ELECTRICAL WORK. ONE STATED THERE ARE SO MANY CODES HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME AND SO HE GAVE ME THE VEHICLE BACK. AND SAID IT IS WORKING FINE NOW. AND THAT IS WHERE WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELECTRICAL PARTS FAILING THE MECHANICS WANT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN THEY GET TO IT IT IS FINE THEREFORE FEEL IT IS BEST TO JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS IT HAPPENED THE SECOND DAY. THEN MECHANIC FIXED WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A LOSE WIRE. BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED 5 TO EIGHT TIMES WITH A FEW OF THOSE RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE STARTING REMOVING FROM TOW OR RIGHT BEFORE GOING ON TOW. I USUALLY JUST GO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AT A LATER TIME WHEN IT HAS TIME TO REST. I GO BACK AND START IT AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. ONLY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE NEVER WHILE DRIVING. THE GADGETS ARE THE ONES THAT STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE VEHICLE THEY ARE NOT FUNCTIONING.
