Nice Van when not in the Shop

Bought used in 2016 with 16000 miles on it. Right off the bat in a month power steering pump leaking but repaired under warranty. Paint on hood bubbling due to rust, seems to be a common problem.4 years later 1 month after paying off car on vacation and transmission stuck in 1st gear, needed solenoid pack for $1000. Year later brake caliber leaking, glad I saw the wet spot in driveway from the leak. Both sun visors break, won't stay up. Replaced front strut. Replaced windshield washer line for $150.Last straw was the sliding door was jammed closed. Was a faulty actuator that was suppose to be cover under a extended warranty but dealer says it was the linkage for another $1200, at this point traded car in without fixing the door. All this with less than 48000 miles on it. I liked the room in the van with the stow away seats but I could not trust this vehicle any more after owning it less than 6 years. No more Dodges or Chrysler for me.

Recurring problem with brand new van

I bought this brand new van to feel safe while transporting our family of 6 around. At 3,000 miles all of a sudden the windshiled wipers came on and would not turn off, all of the warning lights came on, a "No Bus" code appeared and I lost power to all the sliding doors. I have had it in for service twice (both times they kept it for a week). They are taking electrical components all apart (harness wires, etc) which makes me nervous because things never go back together the same way. The problem is still happening at random times and it always seems to be after business hours. The most recent time was while driving in a busy downtown area and I had no operating turn signals and did not feel safe driving this vehicle. The dealership and the headquarters want me to basically drive the vehicle (with no prediction of how long this will take) until the problem happens so that they can get an "active code" reading to help fix the problem. So here I am with a brand new unreliable vehicle that I spent thousands and thousands of dollars on that is now requiring multiple service appointments. The whole reason I went for a new vehicle was to have a reliable vehicle that I did not have to take in for service all the time.

A Grand Caravan

Had a 2013 Journey. Some issues with 6 speed trans upshift but completely corrected in our 2016 Grand Caravan. Excellent acceleration, smooth shifting, and excellent gas mileage, 30 highway and 24 overall. Great ride and great visibility. Plenty of room for seating and plenty of storage. Great value. Nothing close to it for the price.

Rented from Enterprice Burleson. Was very surprised no GPS. Fortunately I had a spare. No back up camera which for the length this vehicle could really use. Great on gas for size vehicle. Not easy exit from last row seat. Road smooth. Good luggage space for our 6 persons.

Had so called "better" Sienna and Odyssey...

The most car for your $!!!, I had both Sienna and Odyssey, and the front seats are for very small people, another question: who needs a build in vacuum cleaner when most garages have a shop-vac just in front of the car. If one have to own something else then Chrysler product I still recommend Toyota Sienna without the leather interior. But if looking for fastest (0-60 in 7.2 seconds) and still the best in the minivan class Dodge AVP/SE Plus with option 29Q is the best value for your $ !!! I wonder if the Gentlemen writing bad story about Dodge front seats ever sit in one...??? Now after over a year with the Pentastar Engine, still very good driving, perfect for camping. Gas mileage varies from 16mpg in hard City driving (taking on some snobbish brands and showing them my tail...) to amazing 28mpg on fuels without ethanol, well after reading some other stories I need to mention that my "mini-van" is now nicely equipped with a mans toilet (just drink all the milk from one gallon jug),and the vacuum cleaner still works perfect for all my cars. Three years update: soon will need new tires, no bad for OME equipped Kumho, still thinking Continental or Yokohama ...? (last tire I will put on is Michelin), I read a lot of stories how much improvement a better tires will do. In the past three years I avoided all mechanics garages and performed oil change, tire rotation etc. myself and therefore van has NO problems !!!. By now drove three times from Indiana to Montana for my fishing trips (I'm retired) and on the way used my van as a "tent" on KOA's campgrounds, speed limit past Iowa is 80-85 mph and van is easy driving a "little above that..." , with higher speed the gas mileage goes to 21-22 mpg, but I managed to get little over 30 mpg in Illinois driving "very slow", just don't feel like talking to the State Troopers in the "Obama-land"...since I have an Indiana registration plate...So SUMMARY after three years still the best car for your $$$ 76,000miles with original brakes, new tires (Continental) and new battery,one transmission oil change and oil changes at 3K, no mechanical problems at all, HAVE a little RUST bubble on the hood???
