Great Van (especially for the money)

Bought this van 2 months ago and it has been great so far. I certainly didn't expect to own a van at the age of 29, but with the kids and the dog, it was necessary. First of all the, the van looks great, inside and out, way better than the other minivans in the class. We test drove the Dodge, Toyota, and Honda minvans, and didn't notice too much of a difference in ride quality, although maybe the Toyota was a little smoother. But then again maybe the only reason I noticed was because I read the reviews ahead of time and expected it. This van is great, and a comparable Honda or Toyota with all the same features costs about $7K or $8K more (the Toyota salesman acknowledged that).
Exellent value

Lots of features for the money. Rides well, gas mileage is good for such a large vehicle. Good power and acceleration.

OK for a van, but problematic areas are expensive.

I bought my 2012 Grand Caravan used with just over 100k miles on it. It was great for a van for the first year I owned it. Took it from Ohio to Gatlinburg and back with no issues. After the first year however lots of things started to fail. The first was the rear brakes. Both calipers seized and had to replace rotors, pads, calipers. Then the alternator went and the engine developed a tick. The alternator was replaced twice by the original owner and 6 months after I replaced the alternator I had to replace it again. As well as the front calipers, rotors, and pads. The TIPM started to fail as well. The fuel pump relay went bad and a new TIPM would have been 1200 so I just bypassed it. At 146k miles... the engine is blown. I've done regular oil changes and I've never seen an oil leak. Bad core design. Won't buy a Chrysler vehicle again.

Great van. We love the stow n go seats. When the seats are down it can hold most things you could put in a truck. Then the seats fold up and I can carry my family. We also pulled the biggest u-haul trailer full of stuff from Utah to Michigan with no problems. Like most any car it needs some maintenance and some repairs. We've been very happy with it.
