1993 Dodge Caravan review from North America
"Good performance and very stable ride, but unreliable and unsafe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent stalling began to appear after 50,000 Km, which is why I think this vehicle is unreliable and also unsafe.
Now it won't start when the temperature is below freezing, seems something in the gas line or pump is blocked.
Transmission failed at 210,000 km, seems exceptional compared to others, but the cost to fix still hurts.
Air conditioning stopped working after 200,000 km.
Front tires wobble at city speeds, between 35 to 45 km/Hr, resulting in premature tire wear.
Spare tire winch broke, but I did not bother fixing this, and I just keep the spare tire on the floor.
General comments?
This minivan has served me and my family for quite some time and over so many kilometers.
However it doesn't give anyone a secure feeling knowing it can stall or fail to start randomly anytime and anywhere.
