We bought this van when it was 3 yrs old, it has been so reliable. Once it hit 140,000 miles, we had to start replacing items; water pump, both front wheel bearings, rotors, valve cover gasket and transmission pump. Its now "brand new" again, no way i;ll get rid of it. This is so comfortable, sturdy and easy to drive. In town gas mileage is TERRIBLE, highway is great

I bought this van new and from the start it was junk. A tie rod broke. There was a total of 6 recalls before 36,000 miles on this van. The back windshield wiper is very slow and weak at moving, that you wonder when it will just stop working. The sway bar links and bushings are worn out every 6 months of driving due to the defective material that is used to save on cost. You drive down the road and it sounds like it is going to fall apart. The a/c unit smells bad for the first 15 min. They extended the warranty for up to 7 years, due to so many people having problems with this. I have own both a Chrysler and Dodge van and have had nothing but problems. My next van will soon be a Honda.

read and research before buying

I bought this van new in December 2002. I had 4 recalls and a number of other problems go wrong with this van. 1. power steering pump leaked. 2. The oil was mixing with the coolant. 3. the front right tie rod broke. 4. the a/c unit quit working. 5. The sway bar bushings wear out every 6 months due to the cheap plastic material that is used. 6. the rear windshield wiper takes five min. just to wipe once ( no lie). 7. The dash board indicator lights (park thru 1st.) gear all light up, so now you do not know what gear you are in. that is all in the first 3 years / 36000 miles and good luck getting anything fixed under warranty after that. I have bought one dodge and Chrysler, and will never buy anothere.

Don't Buy this piece of Junk

We bought this van new, soon after the drivers window stop working for 2 yrs, then the transmission went bad had to get rebuilt one, $1500 later, now the van shack bad and makes a clicking noise when you start and stop, and the electrical box I found out is all rested inside and so are my wires, they never sealed the box to keep moisture out, then my brake light and dash light were going off and on due to electrical, brakes feel really bad, every year were replacing them, but still it don't feel right, my van only has 66,000 miles on it, and all these problems. I will never buy a Chrysler again!Oh I forgot the ac hasn't worked in 2 years.

Good riding van. Not meant for tall people, I am 6'8". Everytime the van is taken in it is another $200-300 repair bill. I guess it is because of the high annual mileage but still it adds up.

Chrysler Auto Trans Stink

Everything was humming along smoothly for three years, until 68K miles. Then the tranny leaves my wife and three kids stranded on a country road. Luckily it was under warranty, but they rebuilt the old crummy tranny instead of putting in a new one. Predictably, a year later at 88K the torque converter locks up 150 miles from home. I have a 2000 Neon with a manual tranny that's one of the best cars I've ever owned, but I will never, NEVER buy another Chrysler product with an auto trans. I've read too many bad things about them. I can't trust a company that will not fix a widespread problem on one of its top-selling vehicles. That's a sign of a company that has contempt for its customers.

Although the van is roomy and has the great outlooks, I have nothing but troubles since I bought it. I have had to bring it to the dealer 5 times for repair in the 1st year. Since I had the car 4 and half years ago I have being gone to dealership for more than 10 times for repair. Common problems include air bag, engine, emission and exhaust. Recently a possible transmission problem may occur because it begin to have a very rough downshift. It is my first Chrysler product and surely will be the last.

It is a good Van

Purchased the 2002 used,from a dealer, to replace my 96 Voyager with 151,000 miles. The 2002 had 23,000 miles on it and was just what I was looking for.It has been very reliable and has many more creature comforts than my old van. It handles well, has decent performance and gas mileage. Two or three trips back to the dealer for a few minor repairs that were fixed right the first time.[recalls and noisey front brake rotors]I have had it a year and still enjoy eveything about it.

What a deal!

If you buy a Voyager, make sure you get the V6. This van is such a pleasure to drive. Comfortable seats, power windows and locks, cd player, vcr/tv, tinted windows, less than 26k miles, the works...all for under 11,500! I've only had it for a few weeks, so I can't really comment on the reliability yet...I'll keep you posted. I just couldn't see myself plopping down an additional 3-5k for a used Mazda, Toyota, or Honda.

After six months the power steering hose broke.The steering vibrated and couldn't be fixed after many new parts and several attempts.Now,after only 18000 miles the transmission isn't shifting right and is making noises.Im glad to have traded it in.

Great mini Van. Drove 40K miles so far in 2.5 years, 1st year was 24k miles, only the battery went dead once. I did regular oil change, and free tire rotation in SAMs/Costco. Fun to drive, lot more space, highly reliable, never had a problem so far. Big driving comfort, elbows are rested while you drive. I use only regular gas. Drove in heat and snow...in Texas and NJ, its built tough.

The overall look of this paticular van was appealing to me. I wasn't quite ready to give up having a car, but we travel with our two children and dog quite frequently. So we bought it. So far the van has been in the shop twice and both times has taken a week or so to fix. The first time it was due to the emergency brake not being able to disengage, which in turn caused all of the rear brakes to need replacing. The secong time it wasn't starting at all and it needs a new fuel injector part. I have been out of my new car for two weeks out of the one year I have owned it. Maybe I should have done some researc before buying this one.

Nice Vehicle

Nice, Like the power sliding door, If I were to buy again I would have had the dealer put in the Video System

9 trips to dealership since purchased

Although the van is comfortable, roomy, and looks great, I have nothing but problems since I bought this van. We have had to bring it to the dealership 6 times for malfunctions with the air bag and the car has never even been in an accident. I question whether it will work when needed. The van also has had problems with the rear lock, side door lock, battery, air conditioner, and driver's side window. I certainly hope not all Chrysler products are this unreliable.

A darn good traveler!

Of the four Chrysler Voyagers[86, 89, 99, 02] we have had, this 2002 beats even the 89 SE extended we drove for 11 years/110k miles all over the US, often towing a small popup camper. The 2002 has the the 3.3L engine/4 spd Auto, strong enough to pull our 82 Viking for 8 weeks/8000 miles, from Illinois to Virginia, then up the East Coast to the top of Newfoundland, then to Quebec, Toronto, Upper Michigan and Wisconsin, Minneapolis, and then home.

I've had too many problems with this vehicle. The abs brake system continues to cause problems.

This van is perfect. It handles well. It looks great, If there is any drawback, It's everybody has one. You can't be unique. I would buy this van again.

I was upgrading from a 1994 voyager, boy what a difference 8 years makes. They have come a long way in making the mini van a true pleasure to drive and own.

So far, so good

It is very quiet and rides very smoothly. I would definitley recommend this van to anyone. It is not a great van for families on a budget as Edmunds says (I guess they mean it's okay if you can't afford more?), it's a great van for anyone. Space is a little tight if you have more than 2 kids, but it's fine otherwise. The Voyager does not offer rear air; but, the air vents on the dash are huge and push a lot of air to the back. I had no complaints last summer.
