Here are some more information for Voyager Brake:

Auto product liability experts have noted a brake design defect in 1986 Plymouth Voyager minivan models which is exhibited by premature and unanticipated rear-wheel lockup. This is a concern because rear-wheel lockup can cause serious car accidents.

Owners have said that the rear ends of their minivans skidded or swerving following hard application of the brakes. Although not all owners specifically stated that their wheels "locked up," it was inferred that the braking system was essentially the same in all the minivans. All incidents occurred on wet roads. Even though many car accidents occurred in snowy conditions, most of the snow had been cleared and the road was only wet. In Chrysler's view, because the witnesses were ordinary drivers, they were incapable of identifying premature wheel-rear lockup.

Installation of a shield over the height sensing proportioning valve (HSPV) was necessary to keep small stones from becoming entrapped in the HSPV. An HSPV so contaminated could increase stopping distances during hard braking when the minivan was lightly loaded. Chrysler was put on notice that the HSPV could not be relied on to prevent premature rear-wheel lockup. Chrysler was also concerned about snow contamination and rear-wheel skid.

A memo from a Chrysler braking engineer written shortly before he retired reported rear-brake "burn up" and rear-wheel skid from leased vehicles, endurance vehicles, taxicabs, passenger vehicles, and station wagons--but not minivans, which had not yet been developed. He concluded that these Chrysler vehicles suffered from premature rear-wheel skid after a short period of use. This tendency was accompanied by increased efficiency and rapid wear of the vehicles' rear brake linings.

This widespread tendency to experience rear-wheel skid because of over-efficient rear brake linings, combined with the fact that the brake linings in the minivan were excessively worn, indicated that that Chrysler was aware of the tendency of the rear wheels of its vehicles to lockup prematurely due to over-efficient rear brake linings.

Plymouth Parts – Continuing the Plymouth Legacy

Plymouth, which debuted in the automobile business in 1928, was initially a marque of Chrysler Corporation of affordable vehicles as a competent counterpart for automakers Chevrolet and Ford. Although the Plymouth models then were targeted for the least expensive market, the vehicles were slightly higher in price but managed to offset that with the decent Plymouth parts like the hydraulic brakes, among others. Nonetheless, the Plymouth models salvaged the Chrysler Corporation’s sales during the Great Depression in the 1940s and carried on until the following year.

The Chrysler Corporation-produced marque may have started slowly but eventually established its name in the industry. Plymouth gradually climbed up the ranks of popular brands in the United States with its ‘Forward Look’ campaign. With the success of the campaign, Plymouth enjoyed its most fruitful year to date in 1957 as it sold 200, 000 vehicles more compared from the previous fiscal year.

Like any other business, Chrysler’s Plymouth did not always enjoy golden years as it also had its share of lows too. The volatile taste of the market thought that some of the car designs were not that appropriate. In addition to that, motorists preferred to purchase the cheapest cars available in the market like those from Plymouth’s sister company Dodge. In a few years, Plymouth managed to get back on track with its well-renowned compact models like the Plymouth Duster, Valiant, Voyager, and Reliant. But due to financial difficulties of Chrysler as well as stiff competition, Plymouth ended its production while some of its models were rebadged under Chrysler in 2001. The Plymouth Neon, Cruiser, Prowler, and Voyager were among the last cars that made it to the last batch of production for the Chrysler marque.

After seven decades in the business, it was indeed a roller coaster ride for the Plymouth brand. Its decent share of lows, however, do not equate that the models are long forgotten. There are still Plymouth models that continuously cruise the streets today. These cars may no longer have all the original Plymouth parts, as maintenance requires replacing some automotive components, but the legacy of this Chrysler marque remains.

I,have plymouth grand Voyager 98 with brake problem?

I,change like 2 or 3 time the rotors and brake pads and still doing the same. What might be. thank

The rear brakes are out of adjustment, and the front brakes are providing all the stopping power. This is overheating the front brakes, warping the rotors and wearing out the pads.

Have the rear brakes adjusted, and use the parking brake often. The self adjuster on that van works with the parking brake, and if you do not use it, the rear brakes will not self adjust.
