While less common than some other Chrysler V6s, head gasket leaks can occur, especially in higher mileage vehicles. This catalog would list gaskets and related components.
Common Issue Transmission Issues:
The 41TE transmission is generally robust but can experience issues with solenoids, torque converter clutch (TCC), and planetary gear sets, particularly with neglected fluid changes. The catalog details transmission parts.
Common Issue Power Window Motors:
Power window regulators and motors are a recurring wear item in many minivans of this era. This catalog will feature these components.
Common Issue Evaporative Emissions System:
Issues with the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system, such as leaky charcoal canisters or faulty purge valves, can lead to check engine lights. Relevant parts are listed.
📚 Vehicle History
Brand Heritage
Chrysler Minivan Legacy:
Chrysler invented the modern minivan segment with the Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager in 1984. The Voyager was Chrysler's brand nameplate for this segment.
Model Evolution
Rg Generation:
The RG Voyager represents the third generation of Chrysler's minivans, introduced in 1996 (known as NS platform). The 2001 model year falls within this generation, which underwent facelifts and updates.
Chrysler minivans were frequent recipients of Car and Driver's 10Best list in their early years, setting a high benchmark for the segment. While the 2001 model might not have been a specific recipient, the lineage is strong.
Ratings
Consumer Reports Reliability:
Reliability ratings varied for this generation. A parts catalog helps in addressing wear-and-tear items to maintain reliability.
