1996 Plymouth Voyager — 3.3L V6

Federal records show this generation’s complaint volume descended from a 1992 peak of 835 to 405 by 1995, while recalls and investigations followed a parallel decline from early-1990s highs before recalls rebounded to eleven in 1997 and 1998. The 1996 model year sits in this gap between 1995’s subdued four-recall period and 1997’s elevated recall and 141 TSB volume, though the sequential dataset does not include 1996 itself. For this specific year, the data documents 202 engine and engine cooling complaints, 173 fuel system complaints, 151 power train complaints, and 116 air bag complaints, plus 48 crash and 77 fire complaints, but specifies no root causes. Because 1996 lies immediately adjacent to a significant recall increase and presents these reported figures across engine, fuel, and fire categories without corresponding year-over-year complaint totals for comparison, a prospective buyer lacks clear evidence that this year escaped the escalation seen in 1997. That uncertainty, combined with those specific complaint concentrations, makes 1996 a risky purchase unless thorough maintenance records confirm those systems have been inspected and repaired.
