2008 Chrysler Voyager — 2.9L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2008 Voyager 2.9L.

Engine 2.9L

The 2008 Chrysler Voyager 2.9L rides on the R2 platform and carries a 2.9L engine, placing it in the later stretch of a model lineage whose documented complaint history spans from 2000 to 2026. With just four total owner complaints and a single recall — the top complaint area being Vehicle Speed Control — this model year sits well below the troubled 2002 peak of 102 complaints and only marginally above the 2006 low of a single complaint. That positions the 2008 among the quieter entries in the Voyager's reliability record, suggesting Chrysler had by then moved past the earlier generation's most widespread issues, though the one recall remains a detail worth flagging for any researcher assessing long-term ownership prospects.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The Chrysler Voyager’s federal record shows that this generation experienced its highest complaint and recall volume during its early launch years, peaking in 2001 and 2002 with 88 and 102 complaints respectively, before steadily declining to near-zero from 2004 through 2007. The 2008 model year sits at the tail end of this long stabilization arc, registering a slight uptick to 4 complaints and 1 recall compared to 0 complaints and 1 recall in 2007. While the overall complaint volume for 2008 is remarkably low, 2 of those 4 complaints involved crashes, and the isolated issues across Vehicle Speed Control, Structure, Electrical System, and Air Bags mean the data does not specify a singular root cause or systemic failure. Although later years from 2020 to 2022 saw a massive resurgence in complaints and technical service bulletins, the 2008 model remains well-insulated within the generation's most trouble-free era. Therefore, the 2008 Chrysler Voyager represents a highly favorable used purchase, offering the maturity of early-generation bug fixes without the high complaint volumes of the launch or subsequent model years.
