I HAVE A 97 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER THAT I HAVE HAD FOR 2 YRS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VAN EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY. FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FIRST MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING,THEN MY HORN,NOW MY BLINKERS ONLY WORK SOMETIMES AND ALOT OF TIMES I HAVE TO TURN ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS FOR THE BLINKERS TO WORK. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHICH MEANS IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THESE ARE BIG PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING SYSTEM AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE THING REWIRED. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WILL COST OVER $1000 TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIXED CORRECTLY. *TR

ANOTHER RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL RAIL WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER WAS CHARGED A $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE. *JB
