Fairly Good Van
lbritain, 01/10/2004
1992 Dodge Caravan LE 3dr Minivan
Bought it brand new in 1992 - been
through 3 fuel pumps, 1 oxygenator
thing; kept losing power (took 7 years
to find this problem) 1 water pump and
numerous smaller things. It's been
pretty reliable for 12 years and 95000
miles. It squeals all the time while
running causing considerable
embarrassment at lights - transmission
is starting to slip.

1992 Dodge Caravan 3dr Minivan
While it is a practical vehicle, there
are some design flaws that have
proven costly. I've had multiple
blown head gaskets (costly repair)
that apparently are the result of
incompatible metals used in the
pistons and the cylinders. There
were numerous other repairs, but the
heag gasket is the back breaker. I
would not recommend this vehicle or
any Dodge van from … the 1990's.

1992 Dodge Caravan 3dr Minivan
We bought this vehicle from a friend
who loved it and was getting a good
deal on a newer model Caravan. Very
few problems and never left me
stranded. Lots of seating for our 3
young kids (and their friends) although
very cramped in the back for adults.

1991 Dodge Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
134K miles and it's been pretty much
bullet proof. 3.0 L engine leaks oil
like crazy (doesn't burn it) but just
keep it topped off. Wife loves to
drive it. Decent gas mileage, plenty
of power.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1992 Dodge Caravan, so we've included reviews for other years of the Caravan since its last redesign.
