Some Chrysler Voyager owners report experiencing the need for repeated jump starts, even in the absence of error readings, alongside a persistent stop/start service message. These issues may stem from battery problems, such as slow engine cranking and dim lights, indicating a dead battery. Additionally, a faulty alternator can lead to battery discharge, complicating the starting process. The stop/start service message may suggest malfunctions within the auto start-stop system, preventing automatic engine restarts. Owners have also noted strange electrical behaviors, like side doors failing to open or the e-parking brake not disengaging, which could signal broader electrical system concerns. Monitoring battery voltage is critical, as values below 11.5 volts may point to a defective battery requiring replacement. Regular servicing and maintenance, including inspecting battery leads for damage or corrosion, are vital for identifying and addressing these recurring starting issues.
