| If tensioner had fallen off while travelimg, it very weel would have bounced straight through the fuel tank. i checked your listings an found 34 failures. feel sure that the family that burned up on the stevenson expressway in chicago had this problem, but the blame was pushed off on a trucker loosing metal off of his truck. the garage here in town stated thay have replaced numerous tensioners, so this is a pretty on going thing. i called detroit on this immediately, and was informed that it is off warranty, so we couldn't care less. i believe this to be wrong. thank you in advance for your kind attention. *ak | |||

| I have a 1992 plymouth voyager. due to a defect in the engine, i had to have it rplaced in april of 2002. then this april, i had to have the transmission replaced. simply put i had to have the engine replaced due to excessive smoking through the tail pipe. i am sure you have had other reports of this. it costs me $4,251.25 to replace and the transmission was another $2500. i do believe that chrysler should reimburse me for this. i have copies of historical maintenance reports for my van and copies of the bills for the engine and trasmission. when i had the engine replaced my regular place of repair, goodyear, said it need an expensive valve job and this may or may not resolve the problem. thanks you for reading this. | |||
