1997 Plymouth Voyager — 3.3L V6

The 1997 Plymouth Voyager sits in a transitional period where consumer complaints continued a downward trend from the 1992 peak of 835 to 368, yet it simultaneously recorded 11 recalls—matching the generation's high—and a striking 141 technical service bulletins, the highest in the dataset. This surge in bulletins, far exceeding the 65 seen in 1995, indicates that while owners reported fewer problems, the manufacturer was actively issuing extensive guidance to address issues in this redesigned model. The top complaint areas of engine, power train, and air bags, along with 22 fire complaints, highlight critical systems that required attention. Compared to later years like 1999 and 2000, which show lower complaints, investigations, and TSBs, the 1997 model year appears to be an early, less refined version of the generation. A buyer would likely encounter a vehicle with a high number of known service issues, making a later model year a more dependable choice.
