Hi All - can anyone help please? I have a Voyager Executive (MkIII), 2008 model. The battery continually goes flat overnight (more so in winter). A new one was fitted 6 months ago and the alternator is outputting 13.8 volts. On average, my daily mileage is 15 - 20 miles, so I would have thought that this was sufficient to charge it up (I've not experienced this prob with any other make car I've had in the past, doing the same mileage). Chrysler dealership has looked at the vehicle, run a diagnostics test (at MASSIVE expense) and cannot find a fault...... I'd really appreciate any advice anyone might have to rectify this problem. I'm currently disconnecting the battery each evening and reconnecting before I go to work in the morning and having checked its terminals with a voltmeter, it's definitely retaining its charge, so not faulty. BTW this is now the 3rd battery in 18 months! Other probs (all electrically-related): high-pitched noise for about 10 minutes after the engine's switched offspeakers occasionally crackle with radio switched OFF (particularly in wet weather)radio intermittentin wet weather ABS light comes onairbag light comes on for no reason (intermittent)electric door mirrors intermittentwhen turning over, engine occasionally stallsinstrument panel needles fly up to max and then drop back to zerowhen stationary after driving to work, white smoke occasionally billows out from underneath the car (underneath the rear doors, and there is a dreadful smell of exhaust fumes (although there appears to be no hole in the exhaust (it has just gone through an MoT!)Really P***ed off with this car (and the dealership for that matter!).... HELP PLEASE!! Regards Tim.
