1996 Chrysler Grand Voyager Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"This mini-van is very costly to own, if you must have one make sure you buy the extended warranty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas tank had to be replaced twice due to a faulty design at 500 miles.
Brake rotors in the front had to be replaced after 15,000 miles.
Seats have started to wear badly after 20,000 miles.
Transmission had to be completely replaced after 26,000 miles.
Both head gaskets replaced after 30,000 miles.
Lower part of the engine - crank shaft and bearings were replaced after 45,000 miles.
General comments?
This vehicle should have spent more time on the design board before it was released to the general public.
Although a catchy design and more than roomy interior, its serious design flaws drag it down into the mud.
It would appear in its efforts to dominate the market, Chrysler used available components instead of redesigning them to handle the stress of this platform.
A stronger transmission, and better braking would have made this vehicle a much better contender.
