Used 1999 Plymouth Voyager Minivan Consumer Reviews
Good to go
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.
The truth
The engine is over powered for this transmission. it has a recall for the airbags and the cruise control. so if you get one bring it into a Chrysler dealership. I bought this car for 1,200.00 and you get what you pay for in older cars. the dealer was honest but didn't mention the common problem with this vehicle at the time which was the transmission/clutch. the computer system is notorious for failing and not registering the proper codes for when there is a mechanical issue such as a transmission issue. so yes the computer system isn't reliable. the transmissions on these vehicles are not equipped to handle that 3.3l engine and are prone to falling apart. constant maintenance and upkeep.

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.
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.
Head Gastket Woes
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.
