Great Car if you want to rebuild a transmission!

I currently own a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. Although the interior is great for space and has a capacity of seven passengers the performance is poor. Are Caravan had a 60,000 mile warranty. When it reached 64,000 miles the entire transmission went out. The transmission torque converter, which if you did not know is a round piece of steel in your transmission, got a hairline fracture in it. This tiny crack caused the entire transmission to fail. We had to pay $3,500.00 dollars for a rebuild. The company that rebuilt it AA Allstars were awesome ! They informed us that they were regularly replacing transmissions for Dodge Caravans because of this part. The mechanic said Dodge used a cheap steel for the torque converter. He also mentioned that there was a kit sold by Dodge to repair it because it was a common problem. When I contacted Dodge to get some type of reimbursement I was denied because my warranty stopped at 60000 and I was at 64000. In my opinion a vehicle bought new should not need a new transmission at 60000 miles.

The GT is the way to go. All the bells and whistles at an affordable price. I love the heated seats and steering wheel! The entertainment system is great and the onboard GPS. The fuel economy is not good. We average 19mpg.

Nothing Grand About It

When we bought this van we had such high hopes. Then they were quickly smashed by how fast problems keep popping up. We bought our van used 2017 with 40k miles in it. We’ve had it two years. The first month owning it, it was in the shop more than I drove it. The catalytic converter went. The dealer fixed it. Then the air conditioner didn’t work. We fixed that. Then the front doors stopped locking. We have yet to fix that. Now all of the sudden when we start it there is white smoke and oil coming from the tailpipe. We’ve just begun investigating that. For a family vehicle this van is anything but reliable.
