Caravan Still Unrefined
Sport Shorty has great sound system with infinity speakers! Beautiful ride and handles very well, the best ride of all for a minivan. However, had oil/transmission leaks, replaced a/c compressor, front brakes and rotors, and back to dealer over five times for driver rear slider power door lock intermitten failures, still not corrected. All within 2 years and 14000 miles. Averages 16 mpg.
My second one!
Well so far nothing major. I have only had it for 3 months. I had the transmission solenoid gasket replaced,70 bucks. I have a 1989 Grand Caravan with a 3.0 as with this one. 177,000 miles on it. Still no oil on the spark plugs! The 3.0 is a mitsubishi motor, I feel the Jap's make a good v6 so I went with it again. Other than the 3.0 leaking oil around the valve cover gaskets it seems to be the engine of choice for me vs Dodge. I read alot about transmission problems, I'll let ya know if I have any. None so far on the 89. Remember! The Caravans may lose value but that helps us used car buyers. Godd handling on this van.

I love it BUT!
I bought the Dodge Caravan new and it worked well for a while. It has needed brakes replaced twice. The car engine light came on suddenly without warning late at night, and needed the ignition changed. The worst problem has been the past year with losing power. Scary on the highway. Then it will work well again until a most unpredictable moment. The car has been to the dealer and to non-dealers. Computers can't tell the problem. The oxygen sensors and accelerator pedal were changed ($2100. The problem continues sporadically. Recently, loosing power more often. I'M really discouraged. Scary being female and working predawn and night shifts.
I love my Caravan !!
Bought this vehicle new 8 years ago, kept up on oil changes, never had any major problems with it. Babies are all grown up now and I am "downsizing" to a smaller vehicle. This is a excellent family vehicle, especially for long trips. I would highly recommend this vehicle for large families. Gas mileage was okay, keeping up on tire rotation, tune-ups and oil changes helps.
White Van
We have had regular oil changes, not major repairs, interior is still in excellent condition, minimum blemishes on exterior, 4 bucket seats and one bench seat, need to get smaller, fuel efficient vehicle.
