Overview

2021 Chrysler Voyager

The 2021 Chrysler Voyager offers a practical, if not entirely trouble-free, option for used minivan shoppers. It boasts excellent NHTSA safety scores, including 5 stars for frontal and side impacts, and a respectable 22 MPG combined. However, a 'Below Average' reliability assessment, driven by significant recalls and a notable number of owner complaints concerning electrical systems, steering, and powertrain, warrants careful consideration. The 76 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) also suggest a history of documented issues requiring attention.

Critical Failure Risk

Complaints include unintended vehicle shutdown, backup camera malfunctions, and persistent battery issues. These can stem from wiring harness problems, module failures, or alternator issues.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$3,000 repair.
