2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER — Complaint #459087

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STEERING:LINKAGES:DRAG:POWER ASSIST SYSTEM filed March 8, 2004

NHTSA complaint #459087 (ODI reference 10060729) concerns a 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER and was filed on March 8, 2004. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 6, 2004. The vehicle had 83,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to North Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering:linkages:drag:power assist system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same PLYMOUTH VOYAGER cohort independently describe similar steering:linkages:drag:power assist system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

I HAVE PLYMOUTH VOYAGER SE 2000 6 CYL. HILE I WAS PULLING MY CAR OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I HEARD SOME NOISE WHICH SOMETHINGS HITTING THE GROUND. IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL HITTING THE GROUND. AFTER I STOP THE CAR, I FOUND OUT THAT WHOLE SYSTEM INCLUDING POWER STEERING WHEEL TENSIONER AND BELT FALLEN APART. I WAS SO SHOCKED BY THE FACT THAT THE BOLT WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO THE CAR BODY COULD BE JUST BROKEN LIKE THAT. I WAS SO TERRIFIED IF THIS THING HAPPENDED WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHAT MIGHT HAPPENED. I PROBABLY BE DEAD BY NOW.*AK
