bought this basic van new with 4 cyl and 3 sp auto. Never really loved this car, but used and abused it for over 10 years, and exactly 181000 miles, overloading it with college students stuff, and home remodel materials. expensive repairs limited to both rear wheel bearings, and seemingly too often brakes. look for rusted strut towers if looking at a used one. This is what killed mine. Lots of long trips and lots of snow and salt over the years.

I bought this amazing minivan with 212,000 original miles with everything original except the tires and couple of belts. I've had other mini and full size vans, but this baby just goes and goes and everything works. Needs improvement on CV joint for its not easy to service. Other than that this is a great mini van and having such excessive miles everything in this van works great.

Best mule I ever owned

I have had this van for 10 yrs. Great AC, safe on the road and pretty good MPG. It has lasted through my daughter's middle school years, high school years and my private business. It has transported cheerleading teams, volleyball teams, bowling leagues and swimmers. It has traveled back and forth over the state of FL. Has pulled hot dog carts and tree roots and is a trusted old friend. Most reliable of any cars/vans I have ever owned.

Love this Van, BUT.......

This van has been great untill recently. We bought it new with the intention to keep it forever. One year ago, two computer sensors had to be replaced because it would not automatically shift gears. Just a week ago, the transmission had to be replaced because the torque converter was falling apart and throwing metal into the works. The air conditioner just died. And the ignition needs replaced because the key will not turn. This van has had great care and upkeep. We do not understand why it seems to be suddenly falling apart.

oil leak problems

I bought this van used and I loved it until it developed an oil leak. So far I have replaced the valve cover gaskets, oil pan and gaskets and the oil is still leaking. These repairs have totaled $750.00. Had it into the mechanic today and was told they will redo the valve covers, and if it doesn't stop leaking then its a head gaskets. Other than struggling with the oil leak its a pretty good vehicle.

Not a flashy car but it's not ugly either. I bought my Voyager for a steal from a private owner when it was 2 yrs old w/almost 89,000 miles on it (former fleet car). Fast forward 2008: it now has over 178,000 miles on it and it's still going strong. Other than the normal tire, brake and fluids replacements, I've had no major problems with it. It was only last year the ty rods & wheel bearings had to be replaced; yesterday I replaced the spark plugs/wires (to be expected given its age and use). It will be a sad day indeed when my minivan kicks the bucket.

Pretty good.

We've had this van for eight years and it has been very reliable. It took us from Alabama to Washington State with no problems. We've since upgraded to a Hyundai Azera, but we still keep it around because it's a good reliable car. As the car ages it needs more repairs though. Gets good gas mileage and as decent features. My biggest beef against it is that it is not fun to drive at all. Over all a good car.

I had this cars since 2003 and it is a good car. Of course I changed like every pipe and wire on it because they were all burned and broken.

Have had no trouble with this van. Had bad EGR valve and dealer repaired. Just regular maintenance. Have pulled a small tent trailer with no problem, hauled many people and with seats out, much junk. It's our "truck" with lots of seating for people and especially for our grandchildren, who have loved the built in child seats. This has been a reliable, versatile van.

This is a good stable vehicle. I took a very long trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with no problem.

Our Voyager has been just perfect. It is very dependable; we have had no major repairs and are up to 80,000 miles. It's construction is well thought out and offers lots of good features. Our only regret is no reading lights or temperature controls for the back seat. Our fuel ecomony has been 19 mpg city / 21mpg highway, which is not bad.

Good Value, Reliable

My wife and I pursued/researched all the vans selling well at the time we bought new. We've been very happy. We've put 120,000 miles on it; we've only had one actual repair needed on this car (last month). Other than that, fluid changes, and Jiffy Lube maintenance. We'd spent a lot less money and still got a fantastically reliable car.

While I like the comfortable seats and the size of my 1999 Plymouth Voyager, I'm really mad about the serpintine belt coming off every rainy season. The Belt hydroplanes off of the pulley assembly when you go thru standing water of 4" or more. So we try not to drive this van when it is raining. Chryster acknowledges the problem but does nothing for you except to re-install the belt. I am selling this van this week and am not looking at another Dodge again. There's got to be a better way.

Great family auto. Numerous trips, in and out of town, pull out the back seats and you have a covered truck...The only extra needed is a DVD player in the back.

This thing is a piece of junk. Constant engine problems: Massive oil leaks and burned valves. Chrystler says tough rocks. I will never buy another Chrystler product again.

Looking for a family hauler (3rd kid arrived)on the used market. Found these vans to be a dime a dozen. Great for depreciation purposes IF you're the buyer. After nearly two years of ownership, the van has held up well (we do have her in for regular maintenance). Lil' underpowered with the Mitsubishi 3.0l 6cyl. Would recommend the larger 6's with the 4 spd auto trans, either the 3.3l or the 3.8l. OTOH, gas mileage for this thing is pretty decent, 24mpg highway, couple less city. Cannot complain to date. If you are into "value" for the dollar, this vehicle is worth a look.

great

My van has been a great family vehicle. I have owned it for almost a year and a half and have put 30000 miles on it already. I have driven it from MN to Colorado, up and down the mountains. Also I have taken it from MN to TX and back. I have never had any problems, this vehicle has been extremely reliable, and is great to drive. I would not hesitate to buy one.

My van looks good black with gold leather interior has power v6 3.8 litre. BUT lacks in over all quality and reliability here are a list of problems, engine light came on first week. cruise control failed transmission leaked water pump broke some interior lights flicker power steering pulley broke off luckly I had the gold package warranty transferred to my name for $200 well worth the money. The first owner would have paid an extra $2000 for this warranty. Go with a Toyota or Honda better quality.

When van had been purchased 3 days, it was returned for resurface of rotors. To date the Chrysler service people have attempted to fix this problem,(a problem that most folks never experience when owning a car)3 times. I have fixed rotors once and they are needing repair again. Other problems, cruise control and transmission tore up.Now it is using 2 qts. oil in 3000 mi.Had to replace all 4 tires at 23,000 mi because the belts were busted.

Our first mini-van.. Why did we not get one sooner. I love the ride compared to the rough truck feel of my hubbys suv. I can say my mini-van is much better and safer to drive because I can see all around me. I think the true test is whenever we go somewhere as a family we take the mnin instead of his suv. I have over 50,000 miles on it and have had zero problems. It also is ised as a truck whenever needed with the seats out it can carry a lot!

This van has been in the shop for MAJOR repairs 3 times in one year. Each time it was something different than before. If it will make it to the dealership, I'm trading it for a Honda!

I am sold

Being the penny pincher that I am I think the dollar for dollar value for this mini-van is terrific. I paid 8,000 less for this than my brother-in-law paid for his explorer and I would not trade him even up! I have a much better ride and much more room, granted the explorer looks better but I am into value not looks. I have had zero problems and will buy another in a few years. My only complaint is road noise at freeway speeds.

On my second Voyager 4-banger, I put over 100,000 on my 94 and have 42,000 on my 1999 and have NEVER had to go back to the dealer for anything! Enough said! I can't figure why anyone would buy a suv..

This is the 4 cyl. van. Leaking head gasket needing replacement to the tune of $1,600.00! Vehicle has only 41, 000 miles on it! This will be my last American made vehicle. My 2 Toyota's have not given one ounce of trouble, both with over 100,00 miles.
