It gave me what I wanted

Bought it with 130,000 on the clock, and would still be driving it if it wasn't for Hurricane Sandy. For a minivan, it did what I wanted: hauled my family and stuff in reasonable comfort for a relative minimum of maintenance hassle. Watch that underside-stowed spare tire: it rusts harder than granite. It drove less than confidently in snow. Had to have the exhaust manifold replaced at about 140,000, but otherwise required no serious work. Overall, it gave me what I wanted.

Purchased car new in 2003, and now have 55,000 miles on the odometer. Car still has original brakes, tires and battery. This van has been problem free from day one. Easy to park and drive in the city, and on the highway you can lock the cruise control on 70 MPH, and the van rsponds effortlessly. There is very little wind or engine noise. Get's about 22 MPG on average. It's amazing how much stuff you can haul when you remove the 3rd row seat.

...a water leak somewhere in the dash. I'm a guy who recently inherited a new family via marriage. Went from a Toyota T-100 to the 2003 Voyager. Got a previously leased one for a song. I use it for multiple purposes...commuting (25 miles each way), travel, hauling. I was surprised! Actually has a sporty feel for a mini-van. Handles pretty well, I guess because of the short wheel base. Decent pick-up for a mini-van. Clean dash layout. Comfortable, too! Heavy seats don't bother me. Great value for the money. I compared it to the Town and Country; the latter was more luxurious but lumbered like a land yacht. Voyager is basic mini-van with value and so far, reliability (except for that leak).

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

Junk on wheels

2002 Chrysler Voyager LX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 4A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

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.

We had a 1993 Voyager that was totally troublefree for 10 years. The new one is vastly improved in the areas of quietness, smooth ride, good power, and ease of access. Very comfortable highway cruiser and city commuter. Perfect compact size -- yet ample space inside. Overall, a great balance -- very comfortable, easy to live with, enjoyable to drive. Get past the "minivan image" and just enjoy what a great vehicle these are. Paid a shade under $20K for a fully equipped 3.3 "Popular Package" LX with ABS and CD/cassette as the only options.

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.

Reliable car, runs well still. How much fun can a minivan be to drive, so I only gave it a 5. The baseline model could of used a few features like heated mirrors, power windows. Otherwise the exterior is a nice look. The stow and go seating would of been a nice touch. However the car is still going strong and I hope to take it over 100k before I begin to think about replacing it.

My wife has a pt cruiser and I drive the Van. Chrysler HATES tall people. And they especially hate tall overweight people. I have problems getting comfortable, hard to get in and out of. No where for my knees etc. If you do get this dog, GET a 6 cylinder, not 4 banger! No power! Transmission pops, clanks and scares me.

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.

I bought this car thinking that Chyrsler was a top rated vehicle. While I'm pleased with the overall car I found some things I don't like. First: I didn't buy the baseline but this 2003 does not have remote mirrors. What gives? Second: I have two bench seats. I can move the larger to the front, but the small one can't go into the back. Poor design! There were other things that were more my fault for not looking at better, but......ummm. Not a happy camper.

I bought this vehicle as a replacemnt to a 2000 grand caravan sport that was a lemon. This vehicle though less fancy has more power and runs flawlessly. Althought the interior compared to most is sparse, all u need is there competent heat and AC and a very good compact disc player. I also opted for the child seats which my 4 year old loves.I bought this car with 29000 miles and it runs new!!!!

Van has 18000 miles...so far no problems.....even had major accident wiping out whole drivers side...wife walked away from it...11,000 damage. Overall comfortable , convenient and with rebated was lowest priced van at the time of purchase, other than Kia Sedona. Didnt hear many good things about KIA. Very happy except when traveling on hill / mountain areas. 4 banger has no power except when u rev it to death....but compromise in power for MPG. Van steadily gets about 22 or better on road trips...got 27MPG on trip to Florida.

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.

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.

The van had a clean carfax, low miles, and checked out fine at auto shop. However, after 1200 miles from purchase, the transmission went out, had a complete rebuild done on it. now about 1200 miles later she is going into the shop again to get the transmission rebuilt again. Also, the alternator went bad, tie rods went bad, has a new electrical issue, and has just become a pile of junk we get to pay for.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this 2003 van new because I didn't want to spend time getting a used car repaired. This van has been far less dependable than my 1989 Cadillac was. Five years, three transmissions, cabin leaking A/C, front brake repair three times, (locked caliper damage only 3 months after new front brakes installed), gas line issue, broken power window, factory tires were junk, CD broken, suspension repair required. And today, some weird high pitched humming noise. Should have kept the Cadillac.

After five months we have had only one problem that remains unresolved. A sometimes noticeable slackness somewhere in the drivetrain which does not seem to effect driveability has not been found. Otherwise enjoy the van. Build quality does not seem quite as good as our 2000 was. Our two previous vans were both made in Canada. This one was built in the U.S.

It doesn't take you long to realize this van was designed to do one thing - move people. The seats are not height adjustable. The engine is very underpowered. The gas mileage is average at best-around 22. The only real upside to the vehicle is the reliability. Also, the sound system is pretty good. Only had problems with the taillights falling off. You'd be hard pressed to pass an '82 corolla. You don't make turns so much as you roll around them. Four wheel disk brakes are optional as well as the ABS. It is unsafe, unkempt and poorly engineered; but remember it can carry seven people and has a cup holder for everyone. People wonder why American car companies are going down the tubes.

Smooth ride on the freeway, very minimal wind and road-seam noise. The frame absorbs most of the 'bang' and potholes from city driving (here in Tulsa we have some of the worst roads). Acceleration can seem a bit slugish at certain ranges but always has sufficient power to get you up to traffic flow in minimal time. Corners very well.

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.
