Review of 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT

This midsized minivan is meant to be on the sportier side. With a 3.6 L V6 that allows flex fuel as well as normal fuel, this van can really go if you give it the right amount of power, although the engine has a bit of a lag at first. The startup is fairly quiet, but running vibrations while the van is in the park gear can annoying. The location gear shifter is a bit odd, but the dashboard is straightforward. Good local car, but lacks entertainment feature that would make long rod trips pleasant. Mileage is about 17 in the city and 24 on the highway. A fuel economy mode is available on certain models.

I bought this 2017 Grand Caravan brand new with only 15 miles, day one I noticed the engine missing while running in park, when at stop with foot on brake it has a surge in the engine, while driving it has a miss in the engine and surges like the transmission is starting to slip. Took to dealer and was told they had to update the computer and was also told to NEVER use E85 even-though it is rated to use it, I told them that I had never used the E85 and was only using premium gas, I was then told that premium gas was as bad as E85 and causes the computer to act up. I was told to only use regular unleaded fuel and in a couple of tanks it should work itself out, well three tanks later is is not as bad as it was but it still acts up almost daily. What a POS, I have always been a Dodge Guy and my dad used to own a Dodge Dealership, but wish I hadn't bought this one. Only getting 12 mpg in city and 19 or 20 on highway and I only have about 2,100 miles on it (yes that is actually 2,100 miles) at the time I posted this, I am about to trade it in on a Chevy or Ford................................................... Update: I still own this POS, I now have 20,000 miles on it. We took a road trip and had lots of issues, wouldn't pull itself up the mountains (had to floor the gas), had issues with the cruise, gas mileage still sucks van still surges and slams into gears. Wish I had never bought it....... Dodge Caravans SUCK Been in for service 3 times for same issues and they keep telling me it's because my wife drives differently than I do................ Worst vehicle I have ever owned.......

Bluetooth not standard and expensive to install. Should be standard equipment uconnect has capacity to do things but not friendly Just got a flat tire and discovered no spare. Very bad All in all it has been a great Van. It’s versatile to carry cargo or passengers. Can also carry a wheelchair passenger.

Great family car, but not a car to rush every shopping place. Great car for long trips, I do not get tired. I have bad back, and this car I have enough support.

We bought it brand new and have had a misfire since about the first month.( they cant find it.) Also siding door rattles at times. And if sitting idling in gear with running lights or what is called driving light which are automatically on they will flicker continuously. ( another thing they cant find). Fuel mileage is nothing like advertising says. Ours doing the math miles driven vrs gallons used will alot of the times be 16 to 17. Never seen it even close to what the dash says. 25.xx miles per gallon. Yes they will warranty it but they keep telling us its normal operations. My advice dont buy one. Ours has been and still is nothing but a major headache and disappointment.
