1984 Plymouth Voyager problems
Plymouth Voyager is a nameplate for a range of vans that were marketed by the Plymouth division of Chrysler. From 1974 until 1983, the Voyager was a full-size van, sold as the counterpart of Dodge Sportsman (later the Dodge Ram Wagon). Starting with the 1984 model year, the Voyager was marketed as one of the new Chrysler minivan, along with the Dodge Caravan. As a minivan, there were three generations of the Voyager from 1984 until 2000. Following the closure of the Plymouth division in 2000, the Voyager was marketed under the Chrysler brand as a lower-trim version of the Chrysler Town & Country through 2003.
From 1988 through 2016, Chrysler used the Chrysler Voyager name for export-market minivans; during the existence of the Plymouth brand, export-market Voyagers were produced with the body and trim of the Dodge Caravan. Including the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan with their rebadged Chrysler, Lancia, and Volkswagen variants, the Chrysler minivans collectively rank as the 13th best-selling automotive model line worldwide.
The Plymouth Voyager minivan was assembled by Chrysler at its Windsor Assembly facility in Windsor, Ontario, Canada; from 1987 to 2000, the Voyager was also assembled at Saint Louis Assembly in Fenton, Missouri (North plant from 1987 through 1995; South plant from 1996 until 2000).
The full-size Plymouth Voyager van was assembled from 1974 until 1983 at the Pillette Road Truck Assembly in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and at the St. Louis North Assembly Plant in Fenton, Missouri.

Common 1984 Plymouth Voyager problems
The Plymouth Voyager, introduced in 1984, was a revolutionary vehicle that created a new market segment for compact people-movers. Despite its success, there were several common problems reported by owners.
- Lacking Performance: The 1984 Plymouth Voyager was equipped with a 2.6L Mitsubishi engine, which was underpowered and lacked performance compared to other vehicles in its class. This engine produced only 96 horsepower, which made the van sluggish and slow. This was a significant issue for owners who needed to haul heavy loads or travel long distances.
- Hesitation from a Stop: Another common problem reported by Plymouth Voyager owners was a hesitation from a stop, especially when the engine was cold. This issue could be caused by several factors, including a faulty carburetor, vacuum advance problems, or issues with the fuel system. In some cases, the problem could be resolved by rebuilding the carburetor or replacing the vacuum advance.
- No Complicated Electronics or Computers: While the Plymouth Voyager was a relatively simple vehicle with no complicated electronics or computers, this also meant that there were fewer diagnostic tools available to identify and resolve issues. This could make it more challenging for owners to diagnose and repair problems with their vehicles.
- Underpowered Engines: The 1984 Plymouth Voyager was available with two engine options, a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine making 101 horsepower or the optional 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 99 horsepower. Both engines were underpowered and lacked the performance needed for heavy hauling or long distances. This was a significant issue for owners who needed to use their vehicles for practical purposes.
In summary, the Plymouth Voyager was a revolutionary vehicle that created a new market segment for compact people-movers. However, several common problems were reported by owners, including power window motor and switch failure, lacking performance, hesitation from a stop, no complicated electronics or computers, and underpowered engines. These issues could make the vehicle challenging to use for practical purposes and could result in costly repairs.
