Defect rate by model year
The Chrysler Grand Voyager has long been a staple in the minivan segment, known for its spacious interior and family-friendly features. Since its debut, the model has aimed to blend comfort with practicality, catering primarily to families and those needing ample passenger and cargo space. Analyzing the reliability of various model years through structured reliability and MOT inspection data presents a clearer picture of the Grand Voyager's performance over time.
When comparing the Grand Voyager's reliability to the average car of the same model year, the data reveals a mixed performance. For instance, the 2003 and 2004 models exhibit significantly higher defect rates, with 451 and 491 defects per 100 tests, respectively, which is around 19% and 29% worse than average. These early years show a pattern of recurring issues, notably with suspension components and brake systems. Common problems included excessively worn suspension pins and joints, as well as brake components that were prone to corrosion or fracture.
As the model years progress, the Grand Voyager's reliability shows some improvement. By 2009, the defect rate decreased to 304, which is slightly better than the average for that year. The subsequent years, particularly 2011 and 2012, demonstrate further enhancements in reliability, with defect rates of 262 and 260, respectively, indicating a shift towards fewer issues. Despite this, problems with tyre tread depth and suspension components remain prevalent across multiple years, reflecting common wear and tear rather than model-specific defects.
Interestingly, the 2013 and 2014 models maintain a relatively consistent performance with defect rates of 229 and 205, respectively, suggesting that Chrysler made some strides in addressing reliability concerns. However, the recurring issues such as tyre wear and brake performance underscore the need for regular maintenance, which is typical for vehicles of this class.
Did you know?
Overall, the Chrysler Grand Voyager’s reputation has been shaped by its family-oriented design and spaciousness, but reliability concerns, particularly in earlier models, have contributed to a mixed perception. Potential buyers should weigh these factors, considering both the advantages of space and comfort against the backdrop of ongoing maintenance requirements.
