2006 Grand Voyager Electrical Problems

[glennnash]

hi, I bought a 2006 Grand Voyager 'stow and go'. Just after I bought it the speedo stopped working and the car was stuck in limp mode. I took it to a local auto electrian who had it for a while but couldn't find the problem, although he narrowed it down to a certain area. He suggested I took it to a Chrysler specialist. I found a place about 20 miles from me who told me he had all the software to sort the problem out. Although he did find a broken wire and fixed the Speedo, it was still stuck in limp mode. Eventually I took the car to Chrysler Hailsham, about 30 miles from me. They found a corroded connector and fixed it. The car came out of limp mode and seemed to drive ok. All this was last year. Now the car has gone back into limp mode. I contacted the Chrysler Hailsham to see if it was covered under warranty, but they told me it wasn't. If they had fitted a new part then it would have been. They want me to book it in again at £95 plus vat an hour. I have spent over £500 on this car and it still isn't running right. Does anybody know of a Chrysler specialist near me (I am in Hastings), with the correct reader. The car now has a number of electrical problems. I really wanted to like this car, but so far it is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Can anybody help me. I have the workshop manual on CD and electrical circuits printed out. If I can't get this sorted out I will have to scrap the vehicle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Glenn

hi Glen

 

One may need the use of the 'Trading Standards' book of words here.

 

If they merely clean up a connection, it would not be construed as a 'change of parts' or is it?

 

If they have put on a new connector, this is a change of the original wiring - and would be classed as a new part.

 

(According to the man with the pint in the pub chat from TS).

 

 

So, it may be worth re-asking them as to what they had completed in the previous repair. It should state clearly on the job ticket, if its a main dealer (or Garageman of repute). You state Chrysler Hailsham.

 

A garage would normally give you some time limit on your repair ticket also - again check paperwork.

 

Good luck!
