This is one of the best minivan I have ever driven. I am only 17, but I really enjoy this van! The 6 CD Changer, power, and the black with gold trim is really quite a car. I drive it almost 100 miles daily to and from school, and it goes without a hitch. The mountains (cuz thats where I live) are no trouble for its engine with at least the mid grade gas. I am really impressed with the overall quality of this van, and we are looking now at the Estate Premium model.

Power Window switch partly failed and power door lock switch failed casing "odd" door lock operation in whitch they locked and unlocked on their own and when they wanted two. Vech had 12,ooo miles on it when i got it.

Have had great luck in my 105,000 miles. Very few repairs & has never left me sit. It does well in winter also. We have the 2 seperate A/C systems & like the cooling throughout the whole van. The shocks that hold up the tailgate window no longer hold but it has been opened a million times. By the way....the Villager is really a Nissan Quest with a slightly differently rear door. It was a joint venture between Nissan & Ford. Engine never uses oil. I do keep it faithfully changed every 3,000 miles. No engine, AC, transmission or electrical problems. I believe I can easily get 200,000 miles from this van.
Electrical problems that can't be fixed

The only consistant trouble I have had with this vehicle is with the electrical system. The doors randomly lock by themselves. Never leave the keys inside the van!!! The clock/radio/wipers randomly turn on and off. The dealer has tried to fix these items but with no success. Besides electrical stuff, the heat and the AC has gone cafluey and the cost of repair is outrageous. While this van has been more reliable mechanically than previous Dodge caravans that I had, the electrical problems are a major headache. I'm done with 'em!

Decent fit and finish. Body still looks great. Engine and tranny are solid. Wish I had leather.
