All Engine And Engine Cooling Complaints
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THERE WAS A SMELL OF FUEL AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS. SOMEONE BEHIND THE VEHICLE ALERTED THE DRIVER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE DRIVER PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND WAS TOTALED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WERE NOTIFIED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE HOOD AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/03/06. *JB
DT: THE CONTACT STATED VEHICLE STALLS WHEN IDLING FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE DYING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NO FURTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. *AK
I HAVE A 1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND HAS APPROX. 91,000 MILES ON IT. APPROX. 10 DAYS AGO, THE CAM BROKE AND THE ENGINE (3.3 LITER) SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND FORTUANTELY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND BRING THE CAR TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. REPAIR REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE TWO REPAIR SHOPS THAT I SPOKE WITH INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL SIMILAR FAILURES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND A SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE.
INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MAKING A TURN VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, AND REPLACED PARTS . THEN, RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. *AK
THE CONSUMER HAS EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING: NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES, NOISE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE/UNEVEN IDLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON/BURNED #5 EXHAUST VALVE-REMOVED HEAD/REPLACED VALVE/REASSEMBLED ENGINE, THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING/INTERNAL ROD KNOCKING-ENGINE HAD AN OIL LEAK/REPLACED GASKET & THE REAR MAIN SEAL IS LEAKING (THE VEHICLE IS GOING THRU 2-3 QUARTS PER MONTH), AND WHEN ENGAGING IN GEAR, THE ENGINE MOVES HARD. SCC
HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING OIL FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS. *AK
