Can't Wait to Trade it in

We bought this minivan after a long trip from California to Florida in Dodge Journey with two kids. I did my research and up to this point our Journey had been a great car so we decided to get a Grand Caravan. We bought it used in March of 2019 with 51,000 miles on it. We got the SE 30th anniversary with backup camera, dvd entertainment system and uconnect xm radio. We have since put 20,000 miles on it going on trips and dragging the kids around town. After not even two years of ownership all I can say is I'm happy I got the extended warranty. Pros - It is very easy to drive and gets great gas mileage for the size. I love the dvd system for the kids and the stow and go is wonderful. It handles snow really well for what it is and it looks sharp with the navy blue paint and dark grey wheels. It has tons of pickup and has no problem passing on the interstate, even when packed down with people, dogs and luggage. It is easy to get in and out of and it has a comfortable ride. Cons - Reliability is awful. I will never, ever buy another dodge again. Right after we bought it, while it still had temp tags on it the oil cooler went out and dumped oil everywhere. I couldn't put oil in it fast enough so to be safe it had to be towed to the shop. Luckily the warranty covered it otherwise it would've been $1100. At 70,000 miles I started to notice a hard shift in the transmission and a whiny noise upon acceleration. I took it into the dealer and it needed a full transmission replacement at 70,000 miles. I am still blown away. The other major con is the cheap plastic parts on it. The rubber piece on the end of the gear shift broke off, molding around the driver window flew off on the interstate. Overall, we love the van and it has been a decent car to us but we are counting down the days until we can trade it in for a Sienna. Unfortunately, the dodge has no resale value so we are trying to pay it down first.

Eight defects in 4.5 Months

This is our 5th Grand Caravan and second 2014. The van is a disaster. 9 times in for service. Heating stopped working properly, U-Connect mic didn't work, U-Connect doesn't stream properly, car lost power, car's MIL went on while losing power but the computer didn't "recognize the error", all the dashboard controls have flashed, burning rubber smell , and the low tire pressure goes on and off at will. The vehicle has recently been in the service department for 18 days straight, they keep saying they "can't replicate the problem". Chrysler says they are just going to have to "release" the vehicle and have our family drive a death trap. Warranty and service on these vehicles are worth nothing.

Get Serious Dodge

As an owner of 4 Caravans since 1985 I was seeking to replace my present Caravan with a 2014 "Grand Caravan." Much to my chagrin Dodge has a base seat in all but the SXT which has no height adjustment. This is not Grand at all as th tall driver does not have legroom. This I see has been noted by other consumer reviews. You can get a power seat that has decent adjustments, but your going to have to pony up serious dollars to get the SXT model. I contacted the Dodge Customer Assistance Center and this is their response,Dear Art: Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center with your product improvement suggestion, however Dodge only works thru consumer forums. Thanks Dodge

I loved my minivan when I first purchased it, however, I have only owned it for 3 years and the issues are starting to pile up! The automatic sliding doors keep having to be fixed due to the plastic piece on the track falling apart and the plastic pieces on my dash around my stereo had to be super glued back on.

This is our 4th Dodge minivan since 1985. Each van continues to improve in every category. This vehicle rides like a limousine, smooth, quiet, little wind or road noise, point it down the road and it goes. Friends of ours drive Siennas and Odesseys, always raving about their vehicles as do most magazines and product review boards, until they ride in our Caravan. "Rides just like our Honda, how much did you pay ? At least we have a vacuum in ours". The Sto & Go seats can't be beat by any manufacturer. Just had the rear brakes worked on this summer. This is the 1st repair on this vehicle.
