Mistake to buy Dodge

2005 Dodge Caravan SE 4dr Minivan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Traded '04 Accord EX in for '05 Caravan. Biggest mistake of my life. The Caravan has been in the service department five times for severe steering wheel shaking over 55 mph. They did balancing 2 times, alignment, and replaced one of the tires. Not covered under Lemon Law, because it is still 'road worthy' according to Dodge. Once you go import, don't look back!

This is a perfect car for people who have trouble getting in and out of cars. One can slide in and out. The seats are extremely comfortable and the ride enjoyable.

It's really a 3.8 V-6

So far, I am very happy with my Dodge GC. It is very quiet, very nice stereo and love the convience and flexibility of the Stow'n Go seats.With one middle seat stowed, I have plenty of room to stow a lot of stuff in the bin that the other seat is not stowed. Plus it makes it very easy to get kids in and out of the back seats and leaves room for the dog to lay down. The front seats fit like a glove and I like the eight way power driver's seat plus the lockable storage bin under passenger's seat. I also like the above console, with outside temp.,compass and mpg used. I haven't had one bit of trouble with it yet.

The good and the bad

I have had positive and negative experiences. The van has run well, with good acceleration and a smooth comfortable ride. The handling is very good. The Stow N Go seats are a great option. Electronic doors and liftgate work well. A/C is powerful and easy to regulate. On the negative side, my fuel economy is poor. At best I've averaged 18 mpg per tankful, and lately it's dipped down below 17mpg, even though a good part of my driving is highway. I'm also disappointed with the interior craftsmanship. Pieces of plastic have broken off the Stow N Go seats even though I haven't folded them away very much. Factory stereo is just fair. Various taillight bulbs have needed replacement already.
