Engine
6 reports
“All of a sudden the van starts running very hard, trying to stall, the stop/start warning comes on, engine light comes on and the van has a lot of trouble accelerating. If the van will stall in the middle of the road it would put me, my kids and other cars around me at risk, especially if we are on a fast highway. We took it to the dealer last year and they replaced all the coils and now the issue is happening again. No other professionals have inspected the vehicle but we are going to have to probably take it to the dealership to figure out what to do next. It is not safe to drive right now and I have 5 children that need to get safely to school”
Steering
4 reports
“Intermittent power steering failure while driving. Wife cannot turn it causing near misses during turns. Steering restored IF turn off ignition and restart engine.”
Electrical system
2 reports
“I was turning left into a parking lot when my 2020 Voyager steering stopped working while it started to show all warning lights and the wipers went on, then it went dead, had to be towed on a flatbed to the dealership, and after 4 weeks with no solution in sight, I decided to bring it home and research the solution myself, The problem came from the CAN bus connector located above the glove box, any short or voltage fluctuation from the wires out of the can bus causes the car to go into panic mode, sometimes making the steering wheel stop steering, and the engine to turn off, most of the times it renders the vehicle disabled. One of the connectors goes into the steering module attached to the electric steering column under the car, the pair of wires near the steering module was fused and exposed, touching each other, and the poor wire insulation, proximity of the engine exhaust pipe, and other hot components coupled with an excessive tight cable zip tie caused the damaged to the wire. Chrysler needs to replace wiring coming from the can bus connectors as damages to any of the wires cause wide failure of vital car components while driving. Case and point, a major…”
Back over prevention
1 report
“The contact owns a 2020 Chrysler Voyager. The contact stated that while attempting to reverse, the rear-view camera became inoperable. The contact stated that the rear-view camera image froze and displayed the previous image from the last time the vehicle was reversed. The contact stated that on other occasions, the camera image was distorted or appeared blank. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.”
Seats
1 report
“When child was adjusting the recline in the driver side middle row bucket seat, the seat broke. The seat no longer stays in any recline position, and the seat no longer latches into place at the base and slides forwards and backwards. A system within the seat has failed. My 9 year old child’s safety was at risk, since the failure happened while she was in the seat and we were driving. The seat has not been inspected, but is available for inspection. There were no warnings of any kind before the failure. We were lucky we were close to home, and were not in an accident, or this could have been a lot worse. When I did a quick google search it shows that this seems to be a common problem for Chrysler vans, and should be corrected by Chrysler.”
Service brakes
1 report1 crash

No warning light was illuminated. No police report was filed. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.
