Not to be “that guy” but they left the solar system in 2012 and 2018, as in crossed the heliopause and the “wall of fire”.

Your point stands, but I thought you might be interested to know that :)

Here’s an article about it https://www.iflscience.com/nasas-voyager-spacecraft-found-a-30000-50000-kelvin-wall-at-the-edge-of-our-solar-system-81411

Voyager isn't even to the Oort cloud. It's nowhere near past many, many gravitationally bound objects. It might be past the heliopause, but it's still very, very close to the Sun and no other stars.
