Bought it used at 98000 miles 4.5 yrs ago. Transmission went out at 162000 miles. I really thought it would go well beyond 200000 miles, as I had no other problems with the vehicle. Disappointing

Love/Hate Relationship

Bought my 2018 Grand Caravan from Enterprise Car Sales in February of 2020, right before Covid with about 33,000 miles on it. It was wonderful until September 2023 when the check engine light came on and we needed to replace the thermostat. The one middle bucket seat no longer will fold down and the one sliding door on the one side when you open it will open and then begin to shut itself which is dangerous and concerning with little kids. Come March 2024 immediately when the vehicle hit 100,000 miles, the transmission went which apparently is a given issue. We had it rebuilt at a transmission facility and paid about $4400. It still didn’t run right and I could tell something was still wrong with it. Apparently the transmission solenoids that were put in with the rebuilt transmission were bad. This isn’t at the fault of the vehicle nor the transmission facility, just a crappy situation. The transmission place picked up my vehicle, replaced them at no cost and dropped my vehicle back to me. It was running great again. A few months later I was driving on the highway and the entire instrument cluster went out. I just about had a heart attack and put another $1600 into it. At this point I am just waiting for something else to go wrong with it and it only has 108,300 miles on it which these days isn’t a lot at all to have so many big issues.

Bought a used GT from one of the rental companies over 4 1/2 years ago, with about 32,000 miles. Have put over 70,000 miles on it and love this van. With 4 grandchildren and a large dog, we needed something roomy and comfortable. More than adequate power, and the handling is fine. Great visibility when driving around town. Good seating position for longer highway trips. My wife has a ‘17 Dodge Durango, and we find the van to be much better for road trips. It has better storage and gets better mileage. Reliability has been excellent. For the price, compared to the competition, it’s been a home run.
