2000 Chrysler Voyager: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2000 Chrysler Voyager
Only 6 defect reports have been filed with NHTSA about the 2000 Chrysler Voyager, which is too few to compute mileage percentiles or a risk score. The reports reported water pump failure.
When each failure gets reported
Tick median reported mileage Solid middle half of reports Faint 10th to 90th percentile Colour how bad the failure is when it happens
How reports accumulate
Every report with an odometer reading, cumulative, from 0 to 200,000 miles. A further 1 report came in above that, which is why the line stops short of the top. A curve that climbs early is a car with early problems, whatever its total.

Every reported failure mode
| Failure mode | System | Reports | With reading | 25th | Median | 75th | Per 1,000 | Typical repair | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water pump failure | cooling | 1 | 1 | — | 147k | — | 0.0 | $500–$2,200 | High |
| Ignition switch, key fob or immobilizer failure | electrical | 1 | 1 | — | 260k | — | 0.0 | $250–$1,500 | High |
| Instrument cluster or gauge failure | infotainment | 1 | 1 | — | 136k | — | 0.0 | $350–$1,400 | Moderate |
| Rust or structural corrosion | body | 1 | 1 | — | 130k | — | 0.0 | $500–$6,000 | High |
| Unclassified problem | other | 2 | 0 | — | — | — | 0.1 | — | Moderate |
This year had no usable recall paperwork, so the fleet-size estimate is the median of other years of the same model. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The odometer reading is the one the owner gave.
Water pump failure
While driving on a busy city street with no shoulder or nearby pull-off, in order to proceed with traffic I was forced to drive through standing water. The engine serpentine belt immediately fell completely off the pulleys. Power steering was then unavailable, and I had some difficulty getting to the next safe exit and turning into it. The engine was overheating by then (because water pump was inactive), and the battery light activated (because alternator was also inactive). I discovered later that this was a very common issue with chrysler minivans of similar model years. Under certain circumstances, this could have been a more severe safety issue. Thus it seems at least considering a recall would be very appropriate. I installed a custom pulley and belt kit (at my own cost of about $200) to prevent the problem from happening again.
Ignition switch, key fob or immobilizer failure
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chrysler voyager. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted after a few moments. The failure recurred numerous times. The ignition switch was previously replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 260,000.
Instrument cluster or gauge failure
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chrysler voyager. The contact stated that the instrument panel failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 136,000.
Every year of the Chrysler Voyager
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Shorter is better. Years with too few reports to score are shown without a bar rather than as a zero, because no data is not good news.
Within the 2000-2002 generation, 2001 Chrysler Voyager scores best at 63 and 2002 Chrysler Voyager worst at 67.
What the reports on file say
The complaints recorded against the 2000 Chrysler Voyager are water pump failure (1 report, around 147k miles), ignition switch, key fob or immobilizer failure (1 report, around 260k miles), instrument cluster or gauge failure (1 report, around 136k miles) and rust or structural corrosion (1 report, around 130k miles). With a sample this size these are anecdotes rather than a pattern, and they are shown because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see them than nothing.
Why this page is short
A model year needs about 8 reports before percentiles mean anything, and this one does not have them. Complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so a thin page usually means a rare car, a new car, or a car whose owners do not file.
Other years of the same model do have enough: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2020 and 2021. The mechanical parts are often shared across those years, so their pages are the better guide to what this one is likely to do, with the caveat that a shared part is not a shared production line.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
